Ottawa Redblacks at Saskatchewan Roughriders Preview & Picks

Saskatchewan are tipped to follow up last week’s win in Calgary.

The Roughriders will have been boosted by that win and they can lean on running back Ryquell Armstead, who will be keen to put on a show against his former team.

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings
  • Saskatchewan Roughriders are 6-1-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings
  • Ottawa Redblacks are 1-3-0 ATS in their previous 4 games
  • The Under cashed when the two teams met last month

Head To Head

  • Saskatchewan Roughriders lead the series 10-7 since 2014
  • The two teams played out a 22-22 tie when they last met on August 9

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa head to Saskatchewan looking to bounce back from a couple of defeats that have dropped them to 8-5-1.

The Redblacks made a strong start to the season as they won five of their first seven games to go into their first bye week at 5-2.

They returned to action with a tie at home to Saskatchewan, but quickly returned to winning ways as they beat Calgary 31-29 and BC 34-27.

Ottawa failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 38-12 to the Lions, and although they rebounded to beat Toronto 41-27, they have not won since.

The Redblacks were beaten 37-21 when they visited Hamilton, and they then suffered a 24-12 defeat when they returned home to face Montreal.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Form

Saskatchewan enter this matchup on the back of a morale-boosting win that halted a seven-game winless run and improved them to 6-7-1.

The Roughriders made a flying start to the season as they won their first four games and five of the first six.

The wheels came off in late July though, as a 20-16 defeat in Montreal proved to be the start of a seven-game winless run.

Saskatchewan lost 42-31 to Edmonton, and then played out a 22-22 tie with Ottawa before losing 27-24 to Montreal, 20-19 to Toronto, 35-33 to Winnipeg at home, and 26-21 to Winnipeg on the road.

However, the Roughriders finally ended that slump a week ago as they ran out 37-29 winners in Calgary.

Verdict

Saskatchewan desperately needed last week’s win and they will feel good about their chances here.

They have a strong recent record against Ottawa, so we are leaning towards the Roughriders in this one.
