BC Lions at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Preview & Picks

BC are tipped to cover as a betting underdog on the road.

The Lions’ offense is off to a solid start, while Winnipeg have struggled to put up points in back-to-back losses.

  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 0-2-0 ATS this season
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of the last 6 meetings
  • The Under hit in both of Winnipeg’s first 2 games of the season

Head To Head

  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers lead the series 20-14 since 2010
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers won 24-13 when the two teams last met in November 2023

BC Lions Form

BC head back out on the road having rebounded from a season-opening defeat with a win last time out.

The Lions opened up the 2024 campaign with a 35-27 defeat in Toronto, but put that behind them in their home opener as they beat Calgary 26-17.

They will now look to build on that victory as they bid to make another run towards the CFL’s postseason.

BC made the playoffs in 2023, compiling a 12-6 record to set up a postseason showdown with Calgary, which they won 41-30.

The Lions failed to followed that up in the West Final though, as they were beaten 24-13 by Friday’s opponents Winnipeg.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg come into this matchup in desperate need of a victory, having opened the season with back-to-back defeats.

The Blue Bombers have been one of the CFL’s very best for several years now, making the Grey Cup in each of the last four seasons.

They went 2-2 in those Grey Cup appearances, with their most recent being the 28-24 defeat to Montreal last November.

Therefore it was no surprise to see Winnipeg being made a favorite to go all the way in 2024, but so far they have not lived up to that billing.

The Blue Bombers opened the campaign with a 27-12 defeat to the Alouettes in a rematch from last season’s Grey Cup, and that was followed by a 23-19 loss in Ottawa a week ago.

Verdict

Winnipeg have spluttered offensively during a rough start to the season.

BC, on the other hand, have made a decent start and have an offense that is putting up a good number of points, so give us the Lions and the free points in this one.
