The Winnipeg Blue Bombers take on the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Labour Day Classic on Sunday night.
Winnipeg's secondary has looked vulnerable, and my Blue Bombers vs. Roughriders predictions expect Trevor Harris to take advantage.
Here are my best CFL picks for this Week 13 clash on August 31.
Blue Bombers vs Roughriders prediction
My Blue Bombers vs Roughriders pick: Over 51.5 (-115 at BET99)
After a three-game slide, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have gone 3-1 straight up and against the spread in their last four. The Bombers scored at least 27 points in each of their last four games.
However, they also surrendered 27+ points in all of those contests, except last week, when they faced Montreal, which had a fourth-string QB.
Blown coverages and sloppy tackling in the back end have killed Winnipeg. Injuries are mounting as well, with safety Redha Kramdi and defensive back Jamal Parker joining Terrell Bonds on the IL.
That's bad news on the road against the Saskatchewan Roughriders' explosive offense. Quarterback Trevor Harris leads the CFL in pass efficiency (118.5), and the Riders have the second-most completions of 30+ yards (22).
They should torch a Winnipeg secondary that is second-last in the CFL in yards allowed per pass attempt (9.0) and completions of 30+ yards allowed (21).
That said, Saskatchewan's secondary is also dealing with key injuries with All-Star corner Marcus Sayles and safety Nelson Lokombo sidelined.
With the Bombers getting back stud WR Dalton Schoen after a six-game absence, their offense should move the ball as well.
Blue Bombers vs Roughriders same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 51.5
Roughriders moneyline
The Bombers have turned the ball over a league-high 28 times while the Riders rank third intakeaways (23). With sloppy play like that, I have a tough time backing them against a Saskatchewan squad that has gone 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS this year.
Winnipeg has owned this rivalry in recent years but Saskatchewan has been the better team on both sides of the ball this season. With home-field advantage at Mosaic also playing a factor, I'll back the Riders in this SGP.
