Game of the Week

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2.02 at British Columbia Lions 1.81

British Columbia had a chance to make a push last week but lost to Toronto which killed some of their momentum. Too many things went wrong, and they now find themselves tied with Calgary for second in the West.

The Lions realistically will not win the West. Winnipeg clinched after last week.

For Canadian Sports Bettors, British Columbia keeps finding ways to make things interesting in the West. The battle for that two-seed and home field begins now. There are several dilemmas for the Blue Bombers, however.

Canadian Sports Bettors may pause as British Columbia is just 2-4 ATS and straight-up since Nathan Rourke suffered his injury. The Lions had to find a decent enough quarterback to right the ship. However, B.C. is just not the same team. That makes this game even more challenging to gauge.

The Argonauts scored late last week to thwart the Lions. Again, Mike O’Shea and the Blue Bombers have little to play for and still have one more game after this.

British Columbia has been up one week and down the next. Here is one week where the Lions absolutely must raise their game. Arguably, any hopes of upending Winnipeg when it counts depends on this Week 19 tilt.

Bet British Columbia outright at 1.81 plus the spread at 1.83. The Lions should win by two or more points.

Crazy Bet of the Week

Montreal Alouettes 1.59 at Ottawa Redblacks 2.45

Bluntly, Winnipeg shut the door last week. The only good thing was that Winnipeg hit their Over, and the game Over.

For Week 19, Ottawa is 0-7 at home, and Montreal is facing a must-win situation if they want to catch Toronto. Even then, the Alouettes still need help. Losing to Ottawa at home should be enough motivation alone.

Here is the crazy part. Montreal will not only win but win by at least seven points. The 7-12 point wager stands at 5.00. If one worries, hedge back to the 1-6 point bet at 4.50. Comically, Ottawa just cannot beat anyone at home. On the road, they are a different team.
