Ottawa Redblacks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Preview & Picks

Winnipeg are tipped to finally get off the mark in Week 5.

The Blue Bombers have lost four straight, but the defense continues to play strong and can put the clamps on this Ottawa offense.

  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings
  • The last 10 meetings have been settled by at least 3 points
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 7-3-0 ATS in their last 10 home games
  • The Under has cashed in each of Winnipeg’s first 4 games

Head To Head

  • Winnipeg lead the series 7-3 since August 2017
  • Ottawa Redblacks won 23-19 when the two teams last met on June 13

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa head to Winnipeg looking to build on a solid start to the season that has seen them win two of their first three games.

The Redblacks won just four games last season, but they are already halfway towards that total thanks to their best start to a season since 2019.

They sat out the first week of the campaign with a bye, but made an immediate splash in Week 2 as they stunned Winnipeg at home, 23-19.

Ottawa went out on the road a week later and suffered a 47-21 defeat at the hands of defending champions Hamilton.

The Redblacks rebounded last weekend though, as they downed Hamilton at home, winning the matchup 24-22.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg return home in desperate need of a victory, having lost their first four games of the season.

The Blue Bombers have appeared in the last four Grey Cup Finals, and were expected to be a leading contender in 2024.

However, they opened the season with a 27-12 defeat to defending champions Montreal and have not been able to bounce back.

Winnipeg were beaten 23-19 in Ottawa in their road-opener, and then lost 26-24 when they returned home to face the BC Lions in Week 3.

The Blue Bombers’ miserable run then reached four games a week ago, as they were beaten 22-19 in overtime in Calgary.

Verdict

Winnipeg have endured a nightmare start, but we expect them to avenge that Week 2 loss.

The Blue Bombers’ defense has been strong despite their poor record, and a meeting with a poor Ottawa defense could be just what the doctor ordered for this Winnipeg offense.
