📡 SBR Edge: Back Brown vs. His Former Team
My Blue Bombers vs. Redblacks prediction includes Blue Bombers -4.5 (-115) and Under 54.5 (-105). Winnipeg played better than expected with Dru Brown taking over for the injured Zach Collaros in Week 6, and Ottawa has scored 22 or fewer points in back-to-back weeks.

🏆 Who will win Blue Bombers vs. Redblacks?
I like the Blue Bombers to beat the Redblacks by seven points today. The Redblacks have the longest Grey Cup odds, and I agree with the market that they're the worst team in the CFL. While the Blue Bombers will be without Collaros, who is a two-time Most Outstanding Player winner, Brown was better than expected in his start last week.
Score prediction: Blue Bombers 30, Redblacks 23
💰 Blue Bombers vs. Redblacks prediction & best bet
Blue Bombers -4.5 (-115)
The market hasn't upgraded Winnipeg enough for how well it played with Brown at QB in Week 6. Brown was much better than expected last week, leading Winnipeg to a 30-21 straight-up win over the Argonauts as a 2.5-point home underdog.
While a one-game sample size isn't the be-all and end-all, I believe the market is overvaluing Collaros and undervaluing Brown. The Redblacks are the worst team in the CFL, and their former QB should be able to win by five-plus points. Blue Bombers -4.5 (-115) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

🔥 More Blue Bombers vs. Redblacks picks
Under 54.5 (-105)
While most recreational bettors prefer playing Overs - they're usually more popular than Unders in the BetMGM insights - Ottawa can't be trusted to participate in a high-scoring game. The Redblacks have scored 22 or fewer points in each of their last two games, with the Under going 2-0 over that span.
Three of Ottawa's five games this season have gone Under, as the Redblacks under Jake Maier average just 23.8 points per game. For reference, the highest-scoring team in the CFL, the Stampeders, scores 37.7 points per game. Under 54.5 (-105) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.

🌤️ Blue Bombers vs. Redblacks weather
Temperatures in Ottawa tonight will hover around 55°F, with a 1% chance of precipitation and wind gusts up to 22 mph. With mild temperatures and virtually no rain, conditions should stay comfortable, but gusts up to 22 mph could push passes off-target and make long field-goal attempts more unpredictable.
