The RedBlacks will be looking to get back on track in Week 7 after dropping two straight when they host the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday night at TD Place Stadium. The sportsbook consensus line on this game is Ottawa -4 with the total listed at 58.5 .
These two teams opened the season against one another after Edmonton beat the RedBlacks in last season’s Grey Cup Championship. Ottawa prevailed 45-37 in overtime back in Week 1 as six-point road underdogs. Since then the Eskimos have proceeded to lose two more of their last four games while going 1-4 ATS overall. Much of this unexpected poor start can be pinned on an Edmonton defense that has allowed an average of 37.3 points in those three losses.
Ottawa has had its issues with consistency as well in its 3-2-1 SU (3-3 ATS) start. This past Sunday, the RedBlacks lost to Toronto 23-20 at home as heavy 10-point favorites. Henry Burris returned to the starting lineup at quarterback, but a costly interception in the final minute of that game sealed things up for the Argonauts.
