British Columbia was believed to be the odds on favorite to return to Grey Cup championship game, yet has had uncharacteristically poor start at 0-2. "We can't play any worse than we've played the last two weeks, we're not making plays. We expect so much out of each other. We're not playing the way we're supposed to be playing and we've got to get it fixed." said WR Paris Jackson. Signal caller Jarious Jackson was a mere 16 of 30 passing for 164 yards. The Lions were sloppy in committing four turnovers in home loss to Saskatchewan 26-16. Thou B.C. is 16-5 ATS in road games off an upset loss as a favorite, they will be playing with heavy hearts, as club president Bob Ackles died of a heart attack this past Sunday at age 69. Few in life loved what they did more than Ackles, having been involved with football since starting as a waterboy for British Columbia.
Winnipeg’s defense was picked apart by Montreal in 38-24 loss. They allowed over 500 yards and will have to shore this side of the ball quickly or another loss will follow. The Blue Bombers defensive intensity usually picks up after weak effort with 11-2 ATS record after being out-rushed by 125 or more yards last game.
Winnipeg as 2.5-point favorites, with total at 48 points. It’s almost inconceivable the Lions could start 0-3, yet an outstanding system suggests this could happen. PLAY ON home teams where the line is +3 to -3, off a division game against opponent off in two straight division games. This CFL system is 28-8, 77.8 percent.
