Randy’s Pick
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have been hit or miss all season long, but this is a game they should win. The Roughriders beat the Redblacks back in week 9 and the Redblacks are riding a 7-game losing streak. The Redblacks don’t do much right, and they’re probably the worst defensive team in the league. If Saskatchewan can’t take advantage of this spot, you can probably throw out a potential playoff spot. Must win for the Roughriders. I’ll lay the small chalk.
