Game preview BC Lions vs Winnipeg

Two of the three best teams in the CFL square off on Thursday night in a huge game that will have major playoff consequences. Winnipeg is 5-2 but has not lived up to the lofty expectations they had coming into this season. BC is 6-1 and has been dominant this season.

The Blue Bombers defeated the Elks 28-14. Brady Oliveira led in rushing, breaking a long run for 18 yards but failing to convert. Overall he averaged 6.5 yards per carry as he amassed 110 yards on 17 carries  in total for the game. Zach Collaros finished 20/24 passing and contributed 308 yards with 2 touchdown passes while throwing away only 1 pick during their victory.

At present, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers boast 1,793 passing yards and average 256.1 per outing which ranks fifth in the CFL. Their opponent averaged 368.0 yards/contest which put them second overall.

Will the Lions roll on the road?

The Lions defeated the Elks 27-0 to pick up the victory last week. Dane Evans completed 25/32 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns without an interception during this game. Taquan Mizzell led on the ground with 22 carries totaling 117 yards, but didn’t convert a touchdown run; his average yards per carry average was 5.3. Lucky Whitehead led in receiving yardage with 54 on six receptions at 9.0 average yards per catch!

BC Lions average an impressive 26.0 points per contest when it comes to scoring touchdowns, ranking fourth in their league at 90.4 yards per run game and amassing 2,594 total yards this season. BC has recorded 12 touchdown passes and 4 ground touchdowns during 2018.

Our Betting Pick for Today – Bet the Blue Bombers -4.5

This is the game of the week in the CFL. I like the Blue Bombers to cover the 4.5 points. Winnipeg had a bye week last week and Zach Collaros will be the difference in a 27-20 Bombers victory!
