The Eskimos have established themselves as the second-best team in the West Division at 5-2, but they remain a tough pick for bettors at 3-4 against the spread. They did manage to cover last week against Saskatchewan in a tight 26-19 victory as a 6.5-point home favorite. Mike Reilly had a sub-par night with 257 yards passing with one touchdown throw while completing just 48.1 percent of his 27 passing attempts. CJ Gable gained 81 yards on the ground on 14 carries.
BC kept things closer than expected against Calgary on Saturday night in a 27-18 loss as a 12.5-point road underdog. The Lions are 2-4 SU with a 4-2 record ATS. Travis Lulay continues to get the call at quarterback, and he put the ball up 39 times in that game with 25 completions for 281 yards and a score.
