Betting Trends for vs
The game here is one that should be interesting, but the key factor is the lack of offensive scoring production for the Roughriders in the game. The Blue Bombers did not really produce in the last game, but the bye week and the championship game was already guaranteed so the rest was a bonus for the starters. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Blue Bombers win 34-14.
