BC is the superior team here. The Lions are 5-2. Their two losses have each come to unbeaten Edmonton. The Lions have won their other five games by an average of 10.6 points per game. This includes a 30-15 home victory against Saskatchewan last week.

That game wasn't even as close as the 15-point final, BC jumped to a 30-0 lead and let down in the fourth quarter allowing the Roughriders to score a couple of garbage touchdowns with their backup quarterback.

Saskatchewan is 2-4. The Roughriders remain inconsistent. They have trouble protecting quarterback Kevin Glenn. Worse, the Roughriders still can't beat a Western Division opponent. They are 1-12 in their last 13 games versus Western foes, including being winless this season. Going back even more, the Roughriders have lost 26 of their past 29 matchups against Western Division opponents.

The Roughriders were disappointing last year. They opened 1-5 in 2016. They aren't much better at 2-4 this season. Sure it's a revenge spot for the Roughriders. That, and home field advantage, make this a low spread. Low enough where it's worth a money line play.

But the Lions are much the better team. They are 13-5 ATS during their past 18 road games, including 3-1 SU and ATS this year. The Roughriders have failed to cover the last five times they've hosted BC.
