Ottawa Redblacks vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders: betting picks and predictions
Saskatchewan Roughriders -7.5 (-105)
Our top pick for this game between the Redblacks and the Roughriders looks for the Roughriders to cover the spread.
Saskatchewan enters this game with a record of 5-2 and has 10 points on the season.
Because of this, the Roughriders are currently in second place in the West Division, only trailing the Edmonton Elks (who have a game in hand against them).
As good as the Roughriders have been this season, they have only been mediocre at home. Through four home games this season, Saskatchewan is only 2-2 straight up.
The Redblacks, on the other hand, enter this game with a record of 0-7 and have zero points on the season.
Given that Ottawa has yet to win a single game, they are currently in last place in the East Division. To this point, Ottawa is 0-2 straight up on the road this season.
These teams previously met this season in Week 5, a game the Roughriders won by a score of 27-22.
While this first game was close, Ottawa is coming off a blowout loss last week against Montreal and have lost their road games this season by an average margin of 12.5 points per game.
Because of this, backing the Saskatchewan Roughriders to cover -7.5 is our best bet.
Under 60.5 total points (-110)
Our second pick for this game is on the under.
Saskatchewan has been fairly consistent offensively this season, as they are averaging 33.1 points per game. As for their defense, the Roughriders are also decent, allowing 27.9 points per game.
As for Ottawa, they have been one of the worst scoring offenses this season, averaging just 23.7 points per game. Additionally, their defense has rarely been good, as they are allowing an average of 35.3 points per game.
In the first meeting between these two teams, the total went well under, with just 49 total points scored.
A similar result looks likely in the rematch; therefore, backing Under 60.5 total points is our selection.
KeeSean Johnson anytime touchdown (-155)
Our favorite player prop for this game looks for the Roughriders' KeeSean Johnson to score an anytime touchdown.
He has been one of the Roughriders' top receivers this season, as he is fifth in the league with 581 yards and tied for second in the league with five receiving touchdowns.
Further, so far this season, Johnson has scored at least one touchdown in five of his seven games. This includes the first game against the Redblacks, where he had 138 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Given that Johnson has scored a touchdown in nearly every game and had his best game against Ottawa, backing KeeSean Johnson to find the end zone at any time is our play.
