The points offered in the Saturday game between the Bombers and the RedBlacks are the largest for a Bombers’ game since October 2022 when they were playing the hapless Elks. It seems like a lot until you look at the state of the RedBlacks’ offence. They are down to their 4th string QB who has never started a CFL game. In relief last week he threw 2 INTs on a team that already leads the CFL with 8 INTs given up. He is up against a Bomber D-line that is 2nd in the CFL in sacks and has the 2nd best rushing defence in the league. Given that the RedBlacks depend on their running game (3rd best in the CFL), all the Bombers need to do is fill the box to stuff the run and sit back while their D-line harries new QB Crumb and feast on his inexperienced attempts. The points on offer for this game would need to be well into double digits to make this viable to go against the Bombers.

Don’t forget, the RedBlacks are last in the league in all four major passing categories (average gain/pass, passing TDs, 30+yards passing plays, passing efficiency). This is not going to miraculously improve in this game. Although the RedBlacks “D” has been respectable this season, they won’t be able to hold down the fort when they are on the field for most of the game. In the above-mentioned passing categories, the Bombers are 4th, 2nd, 2nd and 1st and in rushing yards/game they are 1st. It should prove to be a long night for the RedBlacks and no problem for you to lay the points and pick the Bombers.
