Ottawa Redblacks Game Notes
The Redblacks improved to 7-2-1 on the year after a 7-point victory against the Redblacks on August 24th. Dru Brown had a big game throwing for 390 yards on 37 attempts and three touchdowns. Ottawa looks for their sixth consecutive victory.

Redblacks vs. Lions BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Redblacks. This may be the week BC gets back on track, but I wouldn’t bet on it. The Lions look completely out of sync on both sides of the ball, while Ottawa is playing some of the best football in the CFL. Dru Brown is playing at a very high level under center, and I’ll gladly take the two points in a game that I think Ottawa is very capable of winning outright.
Redblacks vs. Lions Prediction: Ottawa +2
