Randy’s Pick
Massive line for a road team, but there’s a serious gap between these clubs. The Ottawa Redblacks are probably the worst offensive team in the league, and their defense can’t stop the pass. The Blue Bombers are one of the more balanced teams in the league, and their offense can be explosive. I can’t find enough good in the Redblacks to back them in this spot. I’ll lay the chalk.
