The Saskatchewan Roughriders head east to Winnipeg in the back end of a home and home series. This game originally hit the board with the host as a -10 favorite on the betting line, but it has since fallen to Winnipeg -7.5 on most betting boards. The total line opened at 52.5 points and hasn’t budged.
Saskatchewan scored a moral victory in Game 1 of this West Division home-and-home series by covering as a four-point home underdog in a 28-25 loss to Winnipeg this past Sunday. The Roughriders only have just one SU win on the year in their first 10 games, but they have covered the spread in their last two games. The one positive takeaway from this latest loss was Darian Durant’s ability to move the ball down the field through the air with 399 passing yards on 36 completions.
This was the first time the Blue Bombers failed to cover in their current SU five-game winning streak. They actually closed as underdogs in the first four games. Matt Nichols has been the story for Winnipeg during this impressive run. He threw for 341 yards and a score against the Roughriders while completing 27-of-39 attempts.
