Saskatchewan Roughriders at BC Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Saskatchewan Roughriders at BC Lions Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-8) and BC Lions (10-4) meet Friday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Roughriders failed to cover the spread as 1.5-point favorites in a 36-28 loss last Friday at the Ottawa Redblacks as the Over (48) cashed. Saskatchewan is 0-3 straight up and against the spread (ATS) in its last 3 games.

The Lions covered as 5.5-point favorites with a 37-29 win last Friday at the Edmonton Elks as the Over (50) hit. BC can clinch a home playoff game with a victory Friday.

These teams have split their 2 head-to-head meetings this season. The Lions pushed as 10-point home favorites with a 19-9 win in the 1st meeting July 22 as the Under (45.5) cashed, and the Roughriders covered as 10-point home underdogs in a 34-29 win Aug. 20 as the Over (45) hit.

Roughriders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 31, Roughriders 25

Moneyline

The Lions (-450) are tied with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the top spot in the West Division and need to win in order to keep pace. However, the price is a little high on the BC moneyline.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or the total instead.

Against the spread

The Lions have not been great lately coming off of ATS wins, going 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after covering in their previous outing. While the Roughriders have been playing below expectation lately, they did match up well vs. the Lions in their most recent meeting.

I believe the market is overvaluing BC in this spot and overreacting to Saskatchewan’s losing skid. BET ROUGHRIDERS +10 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in the Roughriders’ last 7 games and the Lions’ last 3. Both defenses have been struggling recently, and I don’t trust either to help keep this game low-scoring.

BET OVER 48.5 (-115).

Roughriders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 31, Roughriders 19

Moneyline

The Roughriders will be riding without their starting quarterback for a few weeks. That will be a challenge, especially against a BC defense that has allowed fewer than 20 points in 4 of 5 games. They won all 4 of those games.

But there is no reason to make a moneyline bet at -450 for a regular season game.

PASS.

Against the spread

Three of the Lions’ 4 wins were by more than 10 points. The other was by exactly 10 points.

The Roughriders are 2-3 ATS but have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games.

BET LIONS -10.5 (+100).

Over/Under

The Under was 3-0 in the Lions’ first 3 games, but the Over has hit in each of their last 2 games. They have scored 30 or more in 2 of their last 3 games.

The Roughriders gave up 33 in their last game.

BET OVER 45.5 (-110).
