Saskatchewan Roughriders at Ottawa Redblacks Predictions & Picks

Saskatchewan are tipped to rebound from their first loss of the season.

The Roughriders are rolling offensively despite that defeat in Toronto, and they can set a scoring pace that the winless Redblacks cannot keep up with.

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 2-1 so far
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 2-0-0 ATS in their two wins
  • Ottawa Redblacks are 0-3 so far this season
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of the 6 games involving either team

Head To Head

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders lead the all-time series 13-7-1
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders won 20-13 when the two teams last met in October 2025

Saskatchewan Roughriders Form

Saskatchewan head out on the road looking to rebound from their first defeat of the season.

The Roughriders at out Week 1 with a bye, but when the defending champions did finally kick off their campaign, they picked up from where they left off in 2025.

They opened the season at home to the BC Lions and ran out 31-17 winners in that matchup.

Saskatchewan followed that up a week later as they went out on the road for the first time this season and beat Calgary 40-37 in double overtime.

The Roughriders failed to make it three-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 40-34 by Toronto in a ‘road’ game that was actually played at their Mosaic Stadium home due to the World Cup.

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa return home still seeking their first win of the season, having opened with three consecutive defeats.

The Redblacks entered this campaign with high hopes following major offseason changes, but those changes are yet to result in a victory.

They kicked off the season with a home game against Edmonton and suffered a 29-21 defeat at the hands of the Elks.

Ottawa had an early bye the following week, but failed to make the most of their added preparation time as they were beaten 44-24 at home by Toronto.

The Redblacks then fell to 0-3 last weekend as they lost 37-35 to the Alouettes in Montreal.

Verdict

Saskatchewan lost last time out, but nobody in the Roughriders camp will be panicking.

Ottawa have still not found the winning formula, so we are backing the defending champions to issue an immediate response.
