The set-up: Note that this is the opener of a home and home set between these teams and it marks the only time that they'll face each other in the regular season for the remainder. Over the last three years they've met eight times (including playoffs) and the Bombers are 5-3 in those games, including 3-1 on home field. To break this string, the Lions are going to have open things up and look to catch the home side off guard.

The teams: BC looks to reverse its fortunes after its humbling 41-22 beatdown loss in Edmonton last week: "This is our first taste of adversity," said Lions Head Coach Wally Bruno after. Keep your eyes on WR Emmanuel Arceneaux, who has 106 yards on the season, but who is still looking for his first TD.

Winnipeg can't take anything for granted here obviously as it tries to find its identity without star QB Matt Nichols directing the show, as he's still three weeks away from returning from injury. Backup Chris Streveler has his team at 1-2 on the year. The Bombers have struggled defensively though at times this season, in the two losses the unit has allowed 777 yards combined through the air.

The pick: So can BC's Jon Jennings, who hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in two games this year, step up and take advantage? He's going to be given the green light in this one as BC is desperate to get back into the winners circle. Winnipeg will also be looking to "air it out." This number is just a little low, play the "over."
