The B.C. Lions have been involved in a series of wild games over the past month. Anyone making Bombers vs Lions best bets will see that B.C. has survived four consecutive games by winning by nine points or fewer. In two of those games, the Lions were heavy favorites that didn’t come close to covering the number.
Grabbing those four consecutive victories has allowed B.C. to pull even with Winnipeg for first place in the West Division. The Blue Bombers were able to grab a little momentum heading into this division matchup by becoming the second team to defeat defending Grey Cup champion Toronto last week.
The challenge now is to replicate the success with a division title on the line.
