The 5-12 Saskatchewan Roughriders travel to British Columbia to take on the 11-6 BC Lions on Saturday night. The odds maker had opened this game at -15 on the point spread line but betting action on the Roughies has seen the line fall to -14. The total line hasn’t moved from its opener listed on the board at 51.5 points. Kickoff for this West Division match is set for 7PM ET at BC Place.
The Roughriders came up on the wrong end of a 24-6 loss to BC in this home-and-home opener as five-point home underdogs in a game that stayed well UNDER 53. This followed a 19-14 loss to Montreal as 6.5-point home favorites the week before. Prior to both of these games, Saskatchewan did show some signs of life with a SU four-game winning streak in which it averaged 26.8 points a game, but that appears to be ancient memory. It had covered the spread in seven previous matchups before these last two losses.
