Analysis

2% Rotation #776: CFL Saturday 2% Winnipeg Blue Bombers -148 vs Saskatchewan Roughriders @ 3 ET - First off, this line is available ATS at -2.5 but also with some juice on the Bombers. Instead of laying that number and some juice and going with a 3% play, I am more comfortable laying a little more juice and going with a 2% play here. That will insure that any Blue Bombers win is also a win for us at the betting window. I am well aware that the Riders outgained the Bombers by about 100 yards last week yet lost the game. However, that is quite telling as well as concerning all at the same time. It was not because of turnovers either as those were equal. Now that the red hot Blue Bombers are back home and coming off a game in which their defense did not play well you know that D is going to stand up strong here with a chance to move into a 1st place tie with BC in the standings. If Winnipeg loses this game, the Riders pass them in the standings. I just don't see that happening here. The Blue Bombers have now won 4 straight games! Also, prior to last week's high-scoring win, Winnipeg was on a 5-game stretch in which they allowed an average of only 14 ppg! That kind of stretch is virtually unheard of in the CFL. So these guys have proven they can D up and I expect them to do exactly that after struggling some at Saskatchewan. I respect this Riders team too but they have gone 6 straight games without a win. 0-5-1 are the Roughriders in their last 6 games and that kind of stretch can really wear on the mental toughness of a team and the Bombers will take full advantage again! 2% WINNIPEG -148
