Redblacks vs Blue Bombers Prediction 

Ottawa comes into this matchup still looking for their first win of the season and they have allowed 34+ points in four straight games. The Redblacks nearly defeated Winnipeg a few weeks ago, but they blew a late lead and lost in OT. The Blue Bombers have dropped two in a row, but they will have Collaros back under center. Winnipeg has allowed 34+ points in three straight games, but I expect them to bounce back with a strong effort. Take the Blue Bombers to cover here.
