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.

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).
