Game: Ottawa Redblacks vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Date: Thursday, August 14, 2025
Location: Princess Auto Stadium
TV: TSN🇨🇦 CFL+🇺🇸
This will be the first of two matchups between these teams this season, with the Blue Bombers heading to Ottawa in Week 16. Last year, the home team won both games. The Blue Bombers are probably happy to be back on their home turf, where they're 3-1, a much better record than their 1-3 road performance. Even though the Redblacks are coming off a road win, their away record is a bit shaky, having lost nine of their last 11 road games.
As far as the championship goes, the Blue Bombers have made it to the Grey Cup five years in a row, but they're currently sitting with +1200 odds to win it all, which is a lot better than the Redblacks long shot odds of +3000. This will be a exciting game and good opportunity to make some money! Let’s get to work!
The RedBlacks Team Preview!
In their last game, the Blue Bombers fell just short against the Stampeders, losing a close one, 28-27. While it was a tough loss, Brady Oliveira had an impressive all-around performance, leading the team in both rushing with 68 yards and receiving with 100 yards. Quarterback Zach Collaros threw for 214 yards and a touchdown, completing 21 of 26 passes without an interception.
Looking at the season as a whole, the Blue Bombers are a top-tier offensive team, ranking 4th in the league in scoring with 27.1 points per game and 5th in total yards per game. Defensively, they've been solid against the run, but have been vulnerable to the pass, giving up an average of 280 yards through the air, which puts them 7th in the CFL.

The Pick: BlueBombers -6.5
In a tough loss last week, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were defeated by a last-second field goal from Stampeders kicker René Paredes. Despite the loss, running back Brady Oliveira was a standout player, leading the team in both rushing and receiving yards. Now, the Bombers face a red-hot Ottawa team, fresh off a thrilling win against the Toronto Argonauts. Ottawa’s quarterback, Dru Brown, had a huge game, throwing for over 300 yards and five touchdowns. While Ottawa has momentum, most writers are predicting a win for the Bombers this weekend.
