Week 15 kicks off on the last day of September when the Edmonton Eskimos will take on the beast from the East Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Kickoff for this important CFL match is at 8:30 PM at Investors Group Field on 9/30/2016. The opening line for this game shows the Blue Bombers as a small 3-point home favorite with the total line at 54.
Edmonton is coming off a big 27-23 victory against British Columbia last week as a slight 1.5-point home favorite to snap a straight-up three-game skid and it was the first time it covered against the spread in its last five games. The Eskimos have been able to average 28.8 points a game at 6-7 SU (4-8-1 ATS) on the year, but their defense has given up just as many points. Mike Reilly continues to lead the CFL in passing yards (4,353) and he has 21 touchdown throws on the year.
The Blue Bombers almost rallied from a huge deficit against Calgary last week with 20 fourth-quarter points, but they still came up short in a 36-34 loss as 9.5-point road underdogs. Their SU seven-game winning streak may have come to an end, but bettors along for the ride have cashed in on a 6-2 record ATS during this same eight-game run.
- The Eskimos are 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games.
