Redblacks at Blue Bombers picks and predictions
Prediction
Redblacks 24, Blue Bombers 20
Moneyline
Winnipeg has not gotten its offense off the ground yet this season, averaging only 18.5 points per game.
Ottawa has scored between 21 and 24 points in all 3 games this season, totals the Blue Bombers have not yet reached.
BET REDBLACKS (+115).
Against the spread
The Redblacks have been the underdog in all 3 games and have won 2 of those games outright while Winnipeg has been favored in every game and has lost.
You could go with the spread here in favor of the Redblacks +1.5 (-102), but it is a much better play to take the plus odds on the moneyline.
PASS.
Over/Under
Their 1st meeting had 42 total points.
Three of Winnipeg’s 4 games this season have not reached 45 total points, failing to score more than 20 points in any game.
Ottawa’s last 2 games have both surpassed 45 points but until Winnipeg gets its offense on track, don’t expect many points.
BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).
