Randy’s Pick

A strong argument can be made for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as they’re arguably the better team, and you’re not going to get them in the underdog role often. However, BC split with Winnipeg in two games on the road and is playing its best ball of the season during this 5-game winning streak. BC has improved drastically offensively and has the best passing attack in the league. This should be a fun one, but the BC Lions are on fire right now. I’ll lay the small chalk.
