The major storyline for this contest is the Ottawa Redblacks' dire situation at quarterback. After waiting almost a year for top passer Jeremiah Masoli to return from a leg injury, Masoli ruptured his Achilles tendon in his comeback game last week. With Tyrie Adams also done for the year and former starter Nick Arbuckle firmly in the dog house, the Redblacks will turn to Dustin Crum who entered this season as their fourth-string QB. 
Crum completed 14-of-21 passes for 149 yards with a pair of interceptions and added another 91 yards on the ground after replacing Masoli last week. He was named the MAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2021 after passing for 3,187 yards and rushing for another 703 at Kent State.
There are a few reasons to like Crum in this spot: he's a mobile quarterback with a good arm and rookie QBs tend to have success in their first few CFL starts before teams have much tape on them.
However, there are even more reasons to fade him. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have an experienced defense that makes a ton of plays in coverage and gets plenty of pressure on opposing QBs. In addition, there isn't much talent around Crum with the Redblacks having a brutal offensive line and arguably the worst WR corps in the league.
Regardless of who has been under center, the Redblacks have looked miserable on offense scoring just 16.5 points per game while averaging a league-low 5.23 yards per play.  
The Redblacks have put up much better numbers on the other side of the ball where they rank second in the league in yards allowed per play (5.87) and scoring defense (18.3 ppg allowed). That said, those numbers are deflated due to playing against some anemic attacks and the best offense they've faced so far this season was the Calgary Stampeders who torched them for 442 yards.
The Bombers have an even better offense than the Stamps with two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player Zach Collaros slinging the ball behind an elite offensive line while Brady Oliveira pounds the ball from the backfield. With that balanced offense and an opportunistic defense that will take advantage of a rookie QB, back the Bombers on the spread. My best bet: Blue Bombers -9 (-110 at DraftKings) Blue Bombers vs RedBlacks same-game parlay Blue Bombers -9.5 (-110) Under 44.5 (-105) Brady Oliveira Over 73.5 rush yards (-114) Winnipeg's defense has looked fantastic in the last two weeks with Jackson Jeffcoat coming off the IL to return to his usual spot at defensive end. With Jeffcoat and Willie Jefferson bringing the heat from the outside and defensive coordinator Richie Hall scheming against a rookie QB, expect a low-scoring contest from the Redblacks. Combine that with a Winnipeg offense that tends t...
