Divisional Rivals

Roughriders vs. Blue Bombers Betting Preview
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
They may not be the hottest team in the CFL anymore, but they are still easily the top-ranked club no doubt. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ high voltage offense and elite defense make for an elite combo!
Last week, they faced off against a divisional foe. In their three-point victory against Calgary, it was easily their aerial attack that won them this game.
While Collaros had an amazing game, it was play-making wide receiver Nic Demski who had the best performance! Demski reeled in eight catches for over 100 yards and a major!
Jack Maier a Troublemaker
But their defense that is usually so spectacular looked pretty asleep against Calgary. Backup quarterback Jake Maier caused Winnipeg all sorts of problems!
Maier threw for nearly 300 yards! Maier and wide receiver Malik Henry connected for three touchdowns!
In terms of the Roughriders vs. Bombers Score Prediction, this offense will likely need to keep this team afloat.
While many still have faith in this defense and believe it is the best part of their team, they have been rather weak in the secondary. It could translate to a shootout!
Saskatchewan Roughriders
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are sneakily climbing the CFL standings as nobody seems to notice or care. Now with their slow start, they can easily make up for lost time and have done just that!
Last week, they had a key divisional victory against the BC Lions! As they held down the Lions last week, the offense truly had an amazing game.
Cody Fajardo was playing with his food as he threw for over 300 yards and two majors. Wide receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker hauled in over 100 yards and one major!
Roughriders Defensive Statistics
The worst part of last week was their defensive statistics. Allowing 16 points is never something to frown about. As a matter of fact, it was pretty solid.
However, they played against Lion’s second and third-string quarterbacks. How come there were zero sacks or turnovers?
In terms of the Roughriders vs. Bombers Score Prediction, this defense will be poised for a great week. Although Pete Robertson did not record a sack last week, it is certain he is hungry for one this week!
This defense will definitely have their work cut out for them but can they rise to the occasion?
Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Pick and Prediction
If we take a look at the CFL Stats, these teams are in the top third of the league in a multitude of categories.
Both teams have a plethora of offensive and defensive playmakers that should make for an excellent matchup for the next two weeks.
Collaros has yet to have been stopped, and the defense still has an exceptionally high floor! My Roughriders vs. Bombers Score Prediction is 35-32.
Both of these offenses will burst out of their shell, exposing both weak secondaries! Winnipeg WR Dalton Schoen and Saskatchewan WR Kian Schaffer-Baker will both have monstrous weeks!
Most Profitable Team for this CFL Matchup
My CFL picks has to be with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They have been a consistent winner, except for that one time, and have a very high floor.
Final Score Prediction: Winnipeg Blue Bombers win 35-32
CFL Pick: Blue Bombers (-169)
