Ottawa Redblacks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Predictions & Picks

Winnipeg are tipped to cover as they snap their losing skid on Friday.

The Blue Bombers have dropped their last couple of games, so a meeting with the winless Redblacks - and a possible return of starting QB Zach Collaros - looks to be good timing.

  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 3-0-0 ATS in the last 3 meetings at home
  • Ottawa Redblacks have lost their 3 road games by an average of 15.7 points per game
  • The Over cashed in the previous meeting this season

Head To Head

  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers lead the all-time series 13-7-0
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers won 36-34 when the two teams last met on July 19

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa head to Winnipeg still seeking their first win of the season, having now lost eight consecutive games.

The Redblacks opened the season with three home games across the first five weeks, but failed to make the most of that.

They lost 29-21 to Edmonton and 44-24 to Toronto, and then followed a 37-35 defeat in Montreal with a 27-22 loss to defending champions Saskatchewan.

Ottawa’s miserable start continued as they were blown out in Edmonton, 40-17, before suffering a 36-34 overtime defeat to Winnipeg that sent them into their second bye week at 0-6.

The Redblacks then lost 34-13 to Montreal in their return to action, and fell to 0-8 last time out as they were beaten 42-20 at Saskatchewan.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg return from the bye week looking to get back to winning ways, having lost back-to-back games to fall to 4-4.

The Blue Bombers opened with a 30-28 loss in Calgary, but failed to build on that as they lost their next two games.

They lost 37-27 to Hamilton and 23-18 to Edmonton either side of the bye week, before seemingly getting back on track with a 14-13 win over the Tiger-Cats.

Winnipeg backed that up by beating Toronto 30-21 and Ottawa 36-34 in overtime, but they have not won since.

The Blue Bombers’ win streak was ended by a 52-30 loss to Calgary, and they then went into the bye week on the back of a 35-19 loss to the BC Lions.

Verdict

Winnipeg have had some highs and lows this season, while for the Redblacks it has been a series of lows.

The Redblacks ran the Blue Bombers close a couple of weeks back, but Winnipeg are back at home for this one, and they can take advantage of Ottawa’s “travel sickness”.
