Roughriders at BC Lions picks and predictions
Prediction
Roughriders 29, BC Lions 25
Moneyline
The Lions (-345) will cost you more than 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive for a standalone wager, or as part of a multi-leg parlay. They’re far too risky given the extensive injury report, too.
For SASKATCHEWAN (+270), it is unbeaten in 4 games, including a pair of victories on the road. Take a chance on the road side to get the job done.
Against the spread
If you’re a little less adventurous, SASKATCHEWAN +7.5 (-114) is a tremendous play catching 7 and a hook.
The Riders have covered all 4 games to date, including a pair of victories on the road. Saskatchewan is 3-0-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings in this series, too. Back the green, and feel confidently in doing so.
Over/Under
OVER 51.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly in this West Division tilt.
While the Riders have managed an unbeaten record through 4 games, the defense has been susceptible to the big play. SSK has allowed 94 points, or 23.5 PPG across 4 outings, while averaging 32.0 PPG on offense.
For BC, it has managed a healthy 29.4 PPG across 5 outings while coughing up 25.0 PPG. Look for plenty of end-to-end action at BC Place Saturday.
