BC Lions Form

BC come into this matchup having lost each of their previous four games to fall to 5-5 for the season.

The Lions opened up with a 35-27 defeat in Toronto, but rebounded emphatically with a run of five consecutive victories.

They failed to keep that run going prior to their first bye week of the season though, losing 25-24 in Calgary.

BC went back out on the road when their regular season campaign resumed and the losses kept coming as they were beaten 25-0 in Winnipeg and 33-16 at Edmonton.

The Lions finally returned home last weekend, but they were unable to stop their losing run from reach four games as they were beaten 20-11 by Winnipeg.

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa enter this game having returned to winning ways last week, improving their record to 6-2-1.

The Redblacks struggled for consistency as they went 2-2 during the first four weeks, but did show signs that this could be one of their best seasons in a while.

They found some form before the bye week as they beat Edmonton 37-34 on the road, and they backed that up a week later with a 20-14 home win over the Elks.

Ottawa made it three-in-a-row with a 33-6 win at home to Calgary, but finally saw their win streak end after they bye as they played out a 22-22 tie with Saskatchewan.

The Redblacks rebounded quickly however, as they beat Calgary 31-29 on the road in Week 11.

Verdict

Ottawa are the underdogs in this one, but they offer plenty of appeal in this role.

They come into this game in good form while BC have not won for over a month, so we are riding with the Redblacks.
