The Ottawa Redblacks (3-9) and BC Lions (8-4) meet Saturday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.
The Redblacks failed to cover the spread as 3-point home favorites in a 27-24 loss vs. the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as the Over (46.5) cashed Sept. 8. Ottawa has lost 6 straight games.
The Lions covered as 3.5-point favorites with a 34-25 win at the Montreal Alouettes as the Over (47.5) hit Sept. 2 before their Week 14 bye. BC is 2-3 straight up and against the spread (ATS) in its last 5 games.
The Lions went 2-0 straight up and ATS last season vs. the Redblacks, with the Over hitting in both meetings.

Redblacks at Lions picks and predictions
Prediction
Lions 31, Redblacks 19
Moneyline
The Lions (-450) should hand Ottawa its 7th straight loss, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when BC should cover for an 8th straight time vs. the Redblacks.
PASS. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.
Against the spread
The Lions have owned the Redblacks in recent years, winning and covering in 7 straight meetings. QB Vernon Adams Jr. leads the league in yards per game (295.7) and faces a Redblacks team that has allowed opponents to score an average of 30.4 points over the last 5 games. Look for BC to continue its dominance over Ottawa.
BET LIONS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under
The Over has hit in 5 straight Redblacks games and the last 3 meetings between these teams. Ottawa has struggled to contain teams like the Edmonton Elks and the Saskatchewan Roughriders lately, meaning BC’s offense should have no trouble putting up a lot of points. While I don’t like the Redblacks to contribute much offensively, the Lions should do most of the heavy lifting to help this Over cash.
BET OVER 46.5 (-110).
