This simply wasn't what we expected from BC this season. Vernon Adams Jr. was hot early, then gave way to Nathan Rourke after he was cut by the Falcons during NFL preseason. The Lions sputtered for long stretches and have to go on the road for the West semifinal. While Adams has experience in the postseason and a slew of talented receivers, his defense is butter left out in the sun soft. The Lions were last in the league in opposing QB rating (107.2) this season and they're facing the top-rated QB in the league in Saskatchewan's Trevor Harris (108.4) in this contest. Turnovers are the name of the game and Saskatchewan finished +26 in the takeaway/giveaway department while BC was -6. We saw the Roughriders dominate the Lions 39-8 here last month. It may not be that one-sided here but Saskatchewan punches their ticket to take on Winnipeg in the West Final.
