Ottawa Redblacks at BC Lions Preview & Picks
Ottawa are tipped cover as a betting underdog in British Colombia.
The Redblacks are in considerably better form than their hosts, and they beat the Lions just last week.
- Ottawa Redblacks are 5-1-0 ATS in their last 6 games
- BC Lions are on a 5-game losing run
- BC Lions are 2-6-0 ATS in their previous 8 games
- The Over has cashed in each of the previous 5 meetings
Head To Head
- BC Lions lead the series 12-5 since 2014
- Ottawa Redblacks won 34-27 when the two teams last met on August 24
Ottawa Redblacks Form
Ottawa head back out on the road looking to extend a six-game unbeaten run that has propelled them to a 7-2-1 record.
The Redblacks split their first four games of the season, with their defeats coming against the two teams that contested last year’s Grey Cup.
They found some consistency after that though, as they followed up a 37-34 win in Edmonton with a 20-14 victory at home to the Elks.
Ottawa then made it three-in-a-row with a 33-6 blowout of Calgary at home, only to see their win streak end with a 22-22 tie at home to Saskatchewan.
The Redblacks rebounded immediately from that tie though, and backed up their 31-29 success in Calgary with a 34-27 victory over the BC Lions last time out.
BC Lions Form
BC head into this game in desperate need of a victory, having lost six consecutive games to fall to 5-6.
The Lions kicked off their campaign with a 35-27 defeat in Toronto, but responded to that opening-night loss with five straight victories.
They failed to keep that run going before the bye week though, losing 25-24 in Calgary, and since returning to action they have lost four more matchups.
BC went out on the road for back-to-back games and were shut out in a 25-0 loss to Winnipeg before falling to a 33-16 defeat in Edmonton.
The Lions then returned home for a 20-11 loss to Winnipeg, before heading back out on the road for a 34-27 defeat to Ottawa.
Verdict
Ottawa are the hot hand heading into this matchup, and we have to ride with them here.
They make for an appealing pick, especially with the points, against a Lions team who continue to stack up losses.
