BC Lions at Ottawa Redblacks Predictions & Picks

BC Lions are tipped to cover as they beat Ottawa on the road.

The Lions arrive with plenty of momentum and have covered consistently in recent weeks, while the winless Redblacks are now struggling to even cover in defeat.

  • BC Lions are on a 4-game win streak
  • BC Lions are 3-1-0 ATS in their previous 4 games
  • Winless Ottawa Redblacks are 0-4-0 ATS in their last 4 games
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of BC Lions’ last 6 games

Head To Head

  • BC Lions lead all-time series 14-7-0
  • BC Lions won 38-27 when the two teams last met in September 2025

BC Lions Form

BC head to Ottawa on their best run of the season, having won four consecutive games to improve their record to 5-5.

The Lions made a rough start to the season as they lost their first three games, falling 31-27 at Saskatchewan, 41-27 in Hamilton, and 41-33 at home to Calgary.

They finally got off the mark with a 36-24 victory over Edmonton before the bye week, but quickly returned to losing ways as they were beaten 19-7 in Edmonton and 26-12 at home to Toronto.

BC have not lost since though, sparking this four-game win streak with a 35-19 success in Winnipeg.

The Lions have backed that up by beating Hamilton 27-24 at home, Calgary 30-26 on the road and Saskatchewan 30-16 at home.

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa enter this matchup still seeking their first victory of 2026, having now lost 10 consecutive games.

The Redblacks won just four games in 2025, and responded by replacing Bob Dyce with Ryan Dinwiddie in the offseason, naming him head coach and general manager.

However, that changed has not translated to improved results on the football field.

Ottawa won both of their pre-season meetings with Montreal, but since the action got serious they have failed to register a victory.

The Redblacks enter this matchup on the back of four convincing defeats, having lost 34-13 to Montreal, 42-20 at Saskatchewan, 33-21 in Winnipeg, and 46-16 in Montreal.
