💰 Roughriders vs. Lions prediction & best bet
Lions -3.5 (+100 via DraftKings)
The defending champion Roughriders are a 3.5-point underdog against a team with a worse record than them.
I would love to say "Vegas knows" - not actually, because I don't believe in that stuff - but the fact of the matter is that the Lions have just been much better than the Roughriders lately. BC is averaging 16.4 more points per game than Saskatchewan over its last five games and is coming off a 19-point win over the Alouettes, the betting favorite in the Grey Cup odds.
Lions -3.5 (+100 via DraftKings) is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
Score prediction: Lions 35, Roughriders 28

🔥 More Roughriders vs. Lions picks
Over 62.5 (-105 via FanDuel)
It's been hard to justify taking the Under in a Lions game recently. BC has scored 45 or more points in two of its last three games, with the Over going 3-0 in that span.
Nathan Rourke has an outside shot at winning Most Outstanding Player after taking home the award last season and has recorded a quarterback rating of 112.8 or higher in four of his last five games.
The Roughriders' offense has been inconsistent lately, but at this number, BC should be able to do most of the heavy lifting for the Over to hit. Over 62.5 (-105 via FanDuel) is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
