The Blue Bombers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Friday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The RedBlacks are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 home games and 7-18 ATS in their last 25 games overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Blue Bombers last 5 games overall. The under is 7-0 in RedBlacks last 7 games overall. The Blue Bombers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Ottawa and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
It’s not easy to beat the same team twice in back to back weeks, and the home team has won 7 of the last 10 meetings between these clubs. Also, the Ottawa Redblacks have to feel good with their performance on the road, as the game came down to a last second field goal. If the Redblacks could just trade one of those field goals for a touchdown, they probably win that game. At home, Ottawa has to like its chances for revenge. Give me the home dog.
