Ottawa Redblacks at Saskatchewan Roughriders Predictions & Picks

Saskatchewan are tipped to cover the spread as they beat winless Ottawa.

The Roughriders have dropped a couple of games at home, but on the whole they are off to a strong start this season, and they have been covering consistently in victories.

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 5-2 this season
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 4-1-0 ATS in their 5 wins
  • Ottawa Redblacks are 0-7 so far this season
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of the previous 5 meetings

Head To Head

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders lead all-time series 14-7-1
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders won 27-22 when the two teams last met on July 3

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa head to the defending champions still seeking their first victory of the 2026 season, having now lost seven straight games.

The Redblacks opened the season with a 29-21 home defeat to Edmonton, and then lost 44-24 to Toronto when they returned to action after an early bye week.

They dropped their first road game of the season, falling 37-35 in Montreal, and then followed up a 27-22 home defeat to Saskatchewan with a 40-17 blowout loss in Edmonton.

Ottawa’s miserable form continued with a heart-breaking 36-34 overtime defeat to Winnipeg, sending them into their second bye week at 0-6.

That became 0-7 last time out, as the Redblacks ended July with a 34-13 loss to Montreal.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Form

Saskatchewan have enjoyed a successful start to their defence of the Grey Cup, winning five of their first seven games of the season.

The Roughriders sat out Week 1 due to a bye, but when they did kick off their defence of the crown they downed the BC Lions at home, 31-27.

They followed that up with a 40-37 overtime success in Calgary, before rebounding from a 40-34 loss to Toronto with a 27-22 victory in Ottawa.

Saskatchewan then downed Hamilton at home, 38-7, to enter the bye week with a 4-1 record.

The Roughriders endured a losing return to action as they fell 37-34 at home to Edmonton, but they avenged that defeat a week later, beating the Elks 28-26 on the road to reach 5-2.

Verdict

Saskatchewan have dropped a couple of games along the way, but their start to the season has been strong.

Ottawa, on the other hand, have been stacking up defeats since the start, so we are siding with a Roughriders team that has been winning games and have tended to cover in those victories.
