The big dogs are playing a game already. The undefeated Bombers and Lions with their dominant defences will punish their respective offences in a classic early season battle. For the Lions two of their top receivers are out (Rhymes and Hatcher) and their third top receiver (Whitehead) is back and could be fragile. For the Bombers their star RB (Oliveira) is questionable which could be a setback for their league leading rush game.

This game pits the #1 pass offence (Bombers) against the #1 pass defence (Lions). June in the CFL always gives the edge to the defence. The Lions’ defence is also #1 in points allowed with a miniscule 7.5 points against/game so far. Combine that with the Bombers only allowing 29 points against/game and you have a total of only 36.5 allowed/game by these two defences.

In their last 6 games under is 6-0 for BC and their last 5 road games under is 5-0 (that includes two games in Winnipeg). An interesting stat is that the Bombers in their last 7 week 3 games have unders dominating 6-1. Go with the under and enjoy a smash mouth defensive battle.
