Game Overview
The BC Lions (5-7) host the Ottawa Redblacks (4-8) in a CFL matchup where BC enters as a strong favorite. Both teams are struggling but BC’s home advantage and superior stats position them as likely winners.
Key Factors to Consider
- BC Lions have a slightly better performance offensively and defensively, averaging 27.9 points scored and allowing 29.5 points, while Ottawa averages 24.7 points scored and concedes 28.7 points. BC also outpasses Ottawa significantly (319.3 vs 252.7 yards per game).
- Recent meetings favor BC Lions considering stronger offensive production and home field advantage. Ottawa's recent loss with a backup QB lowered confidence.
- Ottawa will be without starting QB Dru Brown (knee - out), a crucial loss impacting their offense. BC Lions have questionable status for key defensive players Garry Peters and Christian Covington but no confirmed outs.
- Playing at BC Place favors the Lions with home crowd and field familiarity. Ottawa’s travel and backup QB disadvantage reduce their competitiveness. Both teams face playoff pressure but BC is more motivated to improve standing.
- BC Lions motivated to control divisional standings and return to winning ways after recent inconsistent form. Ottawa has slim playoff chances and a major QB injury but will still compete hard to keep hopes alive.
