While College Football is back, a lot of people aren't paying attention to the CFL anymore. However, I believe that there's outstanding value on this Winnipeg/Saskatchewan game. As a matter of fact, I absolutely love the Bombers in this one.
Winnipeg started the season 3-3 and now stand at 6-4. The Blue Bombers have almost always been in contention over the past few years and I believe that they will be a tough team to beat come playoff time this season as well. The Blue Bombers really focussed on defense last week and it paid off, allowing only 13 points on the road against the Alouettes. They also now return WR Dalton Schoen who's coming back from a 6-game suspension.
Don't get me wrong, this Saskatchewan team looks great this year. However, the Roughriders weren't good whatsoever in its last game against Calgary. Yes, they return home this weekend. But, the Roughriders really got exposed in the second half of that game at Winnipeg should be able to take some notes and at the very least, keep this one within the spread. Saskatchewan has some injury issues at the moment in the secondary & an upset could definitely be brewing. Hammer the Blue Bombers.
Burns' Prediction: 31-24 Winnipeg.
