the iceman's free pick
(CFL) Ottawa vs. Saskatchewan, 07/08/2022 9:30 PM, Score: 13 - 28
Money Line: 220.00 Ottawa (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a Free play on Ottawa.

The Ottawa Redblacks are still winless on the season, coming off a 34-31 home loss to the B.C. Lions last Thursday. Saskatchewan is now 3-1 after coming from behind to beat Montreal 41-20 at home over the weekend. The additional two days rest may benefit the Redblacks here, and they are likely a lot better than their 0-3 record indicates. They have played two of their first three games against the defending champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and then last week they faced a BC team that leads the CFL in scoring. The fact that all three of those games were close, is an indication that the RedBlacks are still a team to be reckoned with. The Riders were actually quite lucky to beat Montreal on Saturday, as the Alouettes collapsed in the second half and lost the turnover battle by a margin of 5-1. This appears to be a tough matchup for the home favorite.
