Roughriders vs Lions Prediction

Saskatchewan comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak, but they have scored 24 points or fewer in four of their last five games. The Roughriders started the season playing very well, but they really struggled over the last six weeks. BC has dropped two in a row and they have scored 24 points or fewer in three of their last four. The Lions have defeated the Roughriders twice already this year, but two of their three games were extremely close. I think this game could go either way, so I will take Saskatchewan and the points here.
