BC Lions at Saskatchewan Roughriders Preview & Picks

BC are backed to cover the spread with a comfortable win over Saskatchewan.

The Roughriders have nothing to play for here, with a playoff bye secure, but the Lions are still fighting for seeding and that added edge can be the difference here.

  • BC Lions are on a 5-game win streak
  • BC Lions are 4-1-0 ATS in their previous 5 games
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 3-5-0 ATS in their last 8 games
  • The Under has hit in 9 of Saskatchewan’s last 11 games

Head To Head

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders lead the series 6-4 since August 2022
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders won 33-27 when the two teams last met in July 19

BC Lions Form

BC enter their final regular season game in pole position to claim the number two seed in the playoffs thanks to a five-game win streak that has took them to 10-7.

The Lions endured a rollercoaster run before their first bye week of the season as they lost five of their first eight games.

They then won back-to-back games after the bye, only to cool off quickly again with consecutive defeats.

BC rebounded with a 38-27 win over Ottawa though, and that proved to be the start of a five-game tear as they beat Calgary 52-23, Toronto 27-22 and Calgary 38-24 before the bye.

The Lions then returned to action last week with a 37-24 victory at home to Edmonton.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Form

Saskatchewan go into their final game of the regular season having already secured top spot in the West and a playoff bye thanks to their 12-5 record.

The Roughriders were the CFL’s hottest team during the first few months of the season as they won 10 of their first 12 games.

Their form dipped in September as they lost 48-31 to Montreal and 27-25 at Edmonton, but they responded with back-to-back victories to start October.

Saskatchewan downed Ottawa on the road, 20-13, before returning home for a 28-19 victory over Toronto.

The Roughriders failed to make it three-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 17-16 in Winnipeg last time out.

Verdict

Saskatchewan have little play for here, but that is not the case for the BC Lions.

The number two seeding is still up for grabs, and that need for a victory is likely to be the difference between these two teams.
