BC Lions vs Ottawa Redblacks Prediction
These lines haven’t made sense with the Redbalcks all season, as it feels like oddsmakers and bettors are just waiting for the clock to strike midnight. Yes, the Redblacks have a bad reputation from past seasons and aren’t supposed to be good this year, but 6-2-1 SU is 6-2-1 SU. A 6-3 ATS record is a 6-3 ATS record. Oh, a 4-0-1 SU record at home is still a… At some point, you admit the Redblacks are playing good football and start showing respect. The BC Lions are a below average defensive team and while they have success moving the ball, they don’t finish drives. The Redblacks are winning and are second in both total offense and total defense. Give me the Redblacks and the free points in a game they probably win outright.
