Unfortunately the second game won't be so easy as Saskatchewan is currently putting a first half beating on the hometown (Black &) Blue Bombers. With this being a revenge game of sorts for Winnipeg today based on last week's game out in Regina, the Bombers should have been at least a 2.5 to 3-point favorite but instead the oddsmakers put the game at a pick and that should have sent a message to bettors that this wasn't going to be Winnipeg's day. Quite surprised so many wagered on Winnipeg with this pointspread tip provided by the Vegas oddsmakers.

That's easy to say in hindsight that the spread should have been 3. Why no mention of this in the week leading up to the game? Furthermore, it's hard to make a 3-6 team a favourite in any game. This is pretty much the exact same situation as the Argos/Tiger Cats re-match, in terms of setting the spread. A spread of 1 was probably right. This game isn't over either... these teams have been closer than the score indicates, as the turnovers are the story. Winnipeg has played some very good 3rd & 4th Qs this year.
