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).
