After five straight wins to start the season, the Eskimos are coming off a brutal loss and in the midst of a two game losing streak. Perhaps the Lions have caught Edmonton at precisely the right time.
BC is in danger of repeating one of their worst starts in franchise history but to say that they have been getting blown out of games would be a mistake.
BC has been OK – certainly better than their 1-6 record. Hopes were that the addition of Arlan Bruce would aid this team offensively but last week’s loss proved that one player cannot turn a team around.
Bruce had four catches for 34 yards and Travis Lulay was just 12 of 34 for 103 yards before giving way to Jerious Jackson. [ad-4437448]
Well, the Edmonton Eskimos certainly are a different team without star Wide Receiver Fred Stamps – they are 0-2 since he went down with injury. Along with Stamps, Adarius Bowman and Jason Barnes are also missing from the Eskimos receiving corp.
As a result, Rick Ray has struggled – just 245 yards passing last week in a 27-4 loss to Montreal. The running game has hit the skids as well – a total of minus one yard last week! Ugh!
CFL Betting Trends:
Over is 6-2 in EDM last 8 vs. West.
EDM are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 Fri. games.
EDM are 10-26-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
Over is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.
Betting Prediction:
The Edmonton Eskimos have won three straight games against BC going into Friday night’s game including a win earlier this season. But Edmonton appears ripe for the picking. BC is better than their record while the Eskimos appear worse than their record.
I like BC to at least cover the six points this week in a game that could potentially come down to the last play.
Pick: BC Lions +6
Parlay With Saskatchewan Rough Riders +2 ½
