Overview:
On Thursday, August 25th, at 7:30 P.M. the (5-3) BC Lions will be on the road to take on the (4-3-1) Ottawa Redblacks. “The Crowd” projects a final score of BC 28.9 – Ottawa 24.1 with an over/under of 53.1.
Prizing:
1st Place: $50 Amazon gift card
2nd-10th Place: $10 Starbucks gift card
Statistics (9 total teams):
BC (+25) has the third best point differential in the CFL while Ottawa (+8) ranks sixth. BC ranks 4th in points per game (29.4) and 5th in fewest points allowed (26.3). Ottawa ranks 5th in points per game (27.5) and 6th in fewest points allowed (26.5).
Summary:
BC is coming off a miserable 37-9 loss to Calgary whereas Ottawa was pummeled 43-19 by Montreal. I think BC will bounce back strong even though they are on the road. Ottawa started off the season hot looking like the class of the CFL but they have fallen off. This should be a close game but I give the slight edge to BC.
