Someone had to be the first team to lose to the Edmonton Elks this season. People making CFL consensus picks may not have thought it was going to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Roughriders have now lost two straight, including last week’s disastrous performance.
Things won’t get any easier for Saskatchewan, which must take on Ottawa this week. People putting together a Roughriders Redblacks CFL parlay will see that the Redblacks are in the middle of a nice run. Ottawa has won three straight games and is starting to look like a solid contender out of the East Division.


Ottawa Wants to Keep Building on Recent Run
Picking up back-to-back wins over the lowly Edmonton Elks may not turn many heads. But anyone making a Roughriders Redblacks CFL parlay will be impressed by what Ottawa did to Calgary last week. The Redblacks hammered the Stampeders 33-6 to clinch their third straight win.
The Redblacks have played well so far this season. Ottawa is 5-2 overall and has been just as efficient at covering the spread. The Redblacks are 5-2 against the spread and should do that here.
