The Roughriders are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. West and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Roughriders are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings and the under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The under is 4-1 in Eskimos last 5 Saturday games. The over is 5-2 in Roughriders last 7 Saturday games.
The Edmonton Eskimos have won seven of the last 10 meetings against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the home team has also won seven of the last 10 games as well. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are 6-2 ATS on the road this season and have covered six of their last seven, while the Eskimos are free falling and haven't been profitable ATS during this stretch. However, if the Edmonton Eskimos are going to turn their season around and make that last second push, it would probably be here at home against an opponent they've beaten up on over the years. I'll take my chances with the home dog.
