BC Lions vs Saskatchewan Roughriders Prediction
The BC Lions are getting love from the oddsmakers because they’re at home and Shea Patterson will start at quarterback for the Roughriders over Trevor Harris. BC could easily roll at home for a third straight time this season. However, this line feels a little too rich. Backup quarterback or not, the Roughriders are still first in scoring offense and first in run defense. This is a good Saskatchewan team that’s undefeated on the season and has other ways to compete outside of the QB position. The hook could be key in this spot. Give me the 7.5 free points with the Roughriders.
