Betting Trends for vs
This game is sure to be a highlight game for the CFL and potentially a preview of the Western Finals. However, the game is one which will see the Roughriders have some good plays and actually become more of a defensive battle as the Blue Bombers have some issues moving the ball against a defense that is equal to their own. The home field advantage tips this game to the Roughriders, though, as the team brings home a win. Final Score Prediction, Saskatchewan Roughriders win 27-19.
