Saskatchewan Roughriders vs BC Lions Prediction
The BC Lions won the first meeting this season against the Roughriders and have won 5 of the last 7 games overall. However, BC has struggled with consistency all year and the offense has been a letdown more times than not. The Roughriders have flipped a switch with 3 straight wins and their best rush defense gives them a fighting chance most nights. It would be huge for the Roughriders to win a fourth straight game heading into a bye week. I’ll lay the small number with the Roughriders at home.
