Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs BC Lions Prediction
I considered the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the points because they have played their best ball at home, and they competed with the BC Lions on the road earlier this season. However, the BC Lions are the best offense in the CFL, and they’re going up against a Blue Bombers side that’s scored a combined 23 points in their last 2 games. Also, the BC Lions have had an extra week to prepare for this game, while the Blue Bombers will play their ninth straight game and are fresh off an overtime game less than a week ago. I have to lay the points with BC. Give me the Lions by a touchdown.
