Lions vs Blue Bombers Prediction 

BC comes into this matchup after a very rough start to the season and they continue to be without their starting quarterback. The Lions have scored just 29 points in their last two games and they have lost three road games in a row. Winnipeg is coming off of a terrible game against Calgary last time out, but they have won three of their last four. The Blue Bombers have had 82 and 70 points in their last two games, but their defense should be fine here. Take Winnipeg to cover at home.
