Ottawa Redblacks Game Notes

Lions vs. Redblacks BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Lions. Nathan Rourke will be much better this week than he his first start back against Winnipeg. Despite a poor showing, I’m not worried about Rourke. BC’s defense is more of my concern, but they performed okay last weekend against Winnipeg and now get to face a backup quarterback. The Lions are desperate for a win, and I think they get one on Saturday night.
