The Blue Bombers pounded the Lions 25-0 in Week 9 prior to the bye, and now Winnipeg has had 2 full weeks to prepare for the rematch. Despite the win and cover last time out against BC, the Bombers are just 2-7 against the spread (ATS), but 1-1 ATS as underdogs. The Under (49.5) cashed in Week 9 and is now 8-1 on the season.
The Lions followed up that shutout loss with a 33-16 setback in Edmonton. After 5 straight wins from Week 2 through 7, the Lions have dropped 3 in a row while also going 0-3 ATS. The Under is 3-0 in the past 3 games, too.

Blue Bombers at BC Lions picks and predictions
Prediction
BC Lions 25, Blue Bombers 19
Moneyline
The LIONS (-152) are a strong play in this revenge game at home in Vancouver.
The Lions will not have Adams back under center, but they did bring back QB Nathan Rourke on a multi-year deal Tuesday. The last game that the former Most Outstanding Canadian played in the CFL was a 28-20 loss at the Blue Bombers in the 2022 Western Final.
Against the spread
Again, the LIONS -2.5 (-120) is worth playing with the return of Rourke after his 2-year stint in the NFL. Not only will BC be looking to avenge the Aug. 1 loss, but Rourke will have revenge on his mind, too, since his last game in the league was also a loss to QB Zach Collaros and the Blue Bombers.
Over/Under
UNDER 51.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.
The total has cashed low in 3 in a row for the Lions and 6 of the past 8 outings, including the first 2 meetings with Winnipeg this season.
For the Bombers, the Under is 8-1 in 9 tries this season, including each of the previous 3 outings.
