BC Lions have covered in 3 of their previous 4 games
Winless Ottawa Redblacks have failed to cover in each of their last 4 games

BC Lions Riding Four-Game Win Streak

BC head to Ottawa on their best run of the season, having won four consecutive games to improve their record to 5-5.

The Lions made a rough start to the season as they lost their first three games, falling 31-27 at Saskatchewan, 41-27 in Hamilton, and 41-33 at home to Calgary.

They finally got off the mark with a 36-24 victory over Edmonton before the bye week, but quickly returned to losing ways as they were beaten 19-7 in Edmonton and 26-12 at home to Toronto.

BC have not lost since though, sparking this four-game win streak with a 35-19 success in Winnipeg.

The Lions have backed that up by beating Hamilton 27-24 at home, Calgary 30-26 on the road and Saskatchewan 30-16 at home.

Ottawa Redblacks Winless After 10 Games

Ottawa enter this matchup still seeking their first victory of 2026, having now lost 10 consecutive games.

The Redblacks won just four games in 2025, and responded by replacing Bob Dyce with Ryan Dinwiddie in the offseason, naming him head coach and general manager.

However, that changed has not translated to improved results on the football field.

Ottawa won both of their pre-season meetings with Montreal, but since the action got serious they have failed to register a victory.

The Redblacks enter this matchup on the back of four convincing defeats, having lost 34-13 to Montreal, 42-20 at Saskatchewan, 33-21 in Winnipeg, and 46-16 in Montreal.

Verdict

BC Lions @ OTT Redblacks

Earlier this season Ottawa were at least covering in losses, but that is no longer the case.

BC Lions arrive with all of the momentum thanks to a four-game surge, so we are backing the visitors to win and cover here.
