🏆 Who will win Redblacks vs. Blue Bombers?

I like the Blue Bombers to beat the Redblacks by seven points today. Collaros returns after missing more than a month with a neck injury, and the two-time Most Outstanding Player gets to face an 0-8 Redblacks team. Ottawa has lost back-to-back games by 21 or more points and owns the longest Grey Cup odds at +20000.

Score prediction: Blue Bombers 32, Redblacks 25


💰 Redblacks vs. Blue Bombers prediction & best bet

Blue Bombers -6.5 (-115)

If you were a quarterback returning from injury, which team would you want to face? I would definitely pick the Redblacks, who allow the most passing yards in the CFL (337.5 per game).

The Redblacks kept the last meeting close - they lost by two points in Ottawa - but that was against backup quarterback Dru Brown, who still threw for 317 yards and two touchdowns. With Collaros back and this meeting in Winnipeg, it's reasonable to expect the Blue Bombers to win by seven-plus.

Blue Bombers -6.5 (-115) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

🔥 More Redblacks vs. Blue Bombers picks

Under 57.5 (-115)

While Collaros should have no trouble moving the chains against the Redblacks, I can't trust Ottawa to meaningfully contribute to the Over hitting.

The Redblacks have scored 24 or fewer points in six of their eight games this season, including back-to-back outings with 20 or fewer points over the last two weeks.

Ottawa is still riding with Jake Maier, and he faces a Blue Bombers defense today that allows the fewest passing yards per game (250.5) in the CFL. Under 57.5 (-115) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
