Randy’s Pick

You can make a case for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the points, as they’re at home and have had an extra week to prepare. However, Saskatchewan got smoked by Winnipeg back in week 2, and it’s a team that has defensive issues and doesn’t finish drives consistently on offense. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been a buzz saw through 11 games, and they’re first in both total offense and total defense. The Blue Bombers have given you no reason to step in front of them at this point. Give me Winnipeg in another comfortable victory.
