BC Lions vs Ottawa Redblacks Prediction

The only reason the BC Lions are favored is that they’ve won 8 of the last 9 Games against the Redblacks. That’s it. As I said last week, the Redblacks have been awful in past years, and it feels like oddsmakers and bettors have PTSD. Every week the Redblacks are disrespected with these lines, and yet they’re 7-2-1 SU and 7-3 ATS on the season. The Redblacks just beat the Lions last week to end the drought against BC. Until the wins and covers stop, I’ll keep siding with the Redblacks, a team that’s certainly played better ball than the Lions up to this point.
