(CFL) British Columbia vs. Ottawa,
Total: 53.00 | -112.00 Under
Result: Win
Total: 53.00 | -112.00 Under
Result: Win
The set-up: Both team's are 2-2 to open the season. While the "under" may be 3-0-1 in the last four in this series, I'm predicting that these two hungry sides open up the playbook and push the pace from start to finish, ultimately pushing this one "over" once it's all said and done.
The teams: This is the first meeting between the clubs this year, but last season the Redblacks won both match ups.
BC will be out for revenge, but it'll also be looking to build off its come from behind 20-17 victory over Winnipeg last weekend. The Lions are still desperate for a breakout offensive performance, having not scored more than 22 points in a game this year. Travis Lulay returned from injury and he looked good for BC, going 28 of 41 for 326 yards and a TD. The Lions have struggled with consistency on the road, so they clearly won't be taking anything for granted here.
Ottawa will be eager to take out its frustrations after a dismal 27-3 loss to Calgary last week at home. The Redblacks managed just 169 total yards of offense. QB Trevor Harris passed for only 93 yards and was picked twice.
The pick: While each team struggled offensively last week, I believe the conditions are right for a more wide open affair between these two non-conference opponents. Take it for what you will as well, but BC has seen the total go "over" the number in four of its last six as a road dog in the 3.5 to 7 points range, while Ottawa has seen the total go "over" in four of its last six as a home fav in the same points range. Play the "over."
