Week 11 in the CFL kicks off on tonight with a clash between the Ottawa Redblacks and Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Princess Auto Stadium.<\/p>\n

After a 3-0 start to the season, Winnipeg has struggled, and my Redblacks vs. Blue Bombers predictions are fading them as favorites.<\/p>\n

Here are my best free CFL picks<\/a> for this showdown on August 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Redblacks vs Blue Bombers prediction<\/p>\n

My Redblacks vs Blue Bombers pick: Redblacks +4.5 (-110 at BET99<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This CFL season’s theme has been league-wide parity and close games, which made it a bit surprising to see the Winnipeg Blue Bombers<\/a> open as 6.5-point favorites here. After all, they’ve lost four of their last five, with their only win during that span happening due to special teams heroics.<\/p>\n

Early money has come in on the Ottawa Redblacks<\/a>, slimming the spread to -4.5 as of Thursday afternoon, but I still like the visitors at that number.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bombers squandered a 17-point lead last Saturday, losing on a last-second field goal to the Stampeders. Their offense has been sloppy, and while they took care of the ball last week, they still have a league-high 26 turnovers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the other side of the ball, missed tackles and blown coverages have led to defensive breakdowns. Winnipeg is second-last in the CFL in yards allowed per pass attempt (9.47), with that number ballooning to 10.75 over the last five games. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Redblacks have attacked downfield with a healthy Dru Brown under center. He’s led them to back-to-back victories and threw for 373 yards with five scores last week. Expect Ottawa’s explosive aerial attack to torch Winnipeg’s secondary and keep this game close.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bet99\" <\/a><\/p>\n

I’m counting on Ottawa to move the ball against a Bombers side that has surrendered more than 30 points in four of its last five contests.<\/p>\n

That said, the Redblacks also have a mediocre defense, although their season-long numbers have been helped by a pair of games against Calgary, where the Stamps had P.J. Walker at QB, and when a torrential downpour suppressed offense.<\/p>\n

Despite those two contests, the Redblacks are still seventh in the league in yards allowed per play (6.90) while the Bombers are ninth (7.15). Ottawa has been gashed for 30+ points in three of its last five games, giving up 42 points last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Winnipeg’s offense has struggled with consistency, they still have a proven QB in two-time MOP Zach Collaros, as well as weapons like Brady Oliveira and Nic Demski. Expect big plays from both teams and take the Over in this SGP.\u00a0<\/p>\n
