Blue Bombers at Roughriders picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Bombers 32, Roughriders 19
Moneyline
Winnipeg (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive, even if the Bombers already won at Mosaic Stadium back in Week 2 by 18 points.
While the Bombers have won 5 straight games since Week 6, and they haven’t lost in regulation since Week 3, nothing is a sure thing. AVOID, and don’t risk triple your return.
Against the spread
WINNIPEG -7.5 (-110) isn’t my favorite play, as laying 7 and a hook in football games is an annoyance of mine. I much prefer a flat 7, or 6.5. It just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
However, the Bombers covered a similar number in a trip to Regina earlier this season, it cashed as a 7.5-point favorite last weekend against a solid Alouettes side, and Winnipeg has covered 4 in a row when favored between 6-9 points.

Over/Under
OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, but play it lightly.
The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for Winnipeg, and the Bombers have rolled up 38 or more points in each of those instances. The Bombers have also recorded 28 or more points in 5 of the previous 6 outings, and they dropped a 45-burger on the Riders in the first matchup.
SSK comes in with 3 straight Over results, with the defense allowing 35.0 points per game (PPG) across the last 2. The Bombers have conceded at least 19 points in 6 straight games, too, and it allowed a season-high 45 to Winnipeg in Week 2.
