BC Lions Game Notes
The Lions dropped improved to 5-2 on the year after a 1-point loss against the Stampeders on July 21st. Lucky Whitehead is set to make his season debut for the Lions in week 9. Whitehead will give the already explosive Lions offense’ a big boost.

Lions vs. Blue Bombers BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Over. With Whitehead coming back for the Lions, this offense is going to be very difficult to stop. On the other side I expect veteran Zach Collaros to have a big game in a basically a must win game for the Blue Bombers. Both offenses’ do enough on Thursday night to push this game over the total.
