The set-up: This is the opener of a two game series between the teams, with the second one heading back East next weekend. Because of that, I believe each opens up the playbook on the West Coast and I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later. Ottawa won't be lacking for motivation that's for sure after falling 46-17 to last place Toronto. Ottawa is just 3-8 overall and over its last three games it's been outscored 107-42. One bright spot last week for the Redblacks was the play of QB Jon Jennings, who had 327 yards vs. the Argos. BC is just 1-10 and on a current seven-game losing streak. There's no bigger disappointment in the entire league than these two teams.

The pick: Over the last three years, the over is 3-1-1 between the clubs. The players on both sides are now playing for a job for next season and because of that, I look for this total to fly over the posted number.

10* CFL TOTAL OF MONTH on over Ottawa/BC.
