This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER BC/Ottawa.

Ottawa is 0-2 and it's seen both of its opening games go well UNDER the posted number.

BC is 2-0, and it's seen the total go 1-1 so far after last week's dominant, but lower-scoring 44-3 home win over Saskatchewan.

The RedBlacks clearly can't sit back and hope to break their slide of futility. They really need to get something going here, especially against this tough BC defense which so far leads the league in several categories.

The Lions also lead the league in several offensive categories, averaging 51.5 PPG. Nathan Rourke went 39 of 45 with 436 yards passing and threw 4 touchdowns.

Ottawa QB Jeremiah Masoli was an efficient 27 of 38 with 331 yards last week in his team's 19-12 loss to Winnipeg.

I like Masoli to take another step in the right direction this week, as the home side pushes the pace from start to finish.

Considering all of the above factors, this O/U line is indeed a bit low. The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
