Winnipeg Blue Bombers Game Notes
The Blue Bombers improved to 3-6 on the year after a 25-point victory against the Lions on August 1st. Zach Collaros had a nearly perfect game throwing 295 yards and a touchdown on 27/33 attempts. Winnipeg looks to defeat the Lions in consecutive games.
BC Lions Game Notes
The Lions dropped to 5-4 on the year, after losing to Edmonton by a score of 33-16 last Sunday. Nathan Rourke is expected to start for the Lions after being released by the Atlanta Falcons. Rourke was named the CFL Most Outstanding player in 2022, he will hope to snap the Lions three game losing skid.
Blue Bombers vs. Lions BETTING PREDICTION
Take BC. The Lions will be fired up to have Nathan Rourke back under center. I fully expect Rourke to come in and give the Lions offense a much-needed boost. The Blue Bombers have been inconsistent this season and now have to go on the road and try to defeat the Lions two times in a row. Lay it with Lions.
