Point Spread: Edmonton -1.5
Total: 54.5

<p>
On the second game of a Friday night CFL doubleheader the BC Lions head to Edmonton for the first meeting of the season for this West Division foes. The Eskimos will try to break off a three game losing streak that included a loss to the West bottom feeding Roughriders. The CFL betting board shows Edmonton as a small -1.5 point favoring on the spread line. The total opened on the board at 54.5 points but some sportsbooks are hanging as high as 55.5 on this Week 14 match.

The Lions went into last week’s bye with a SU 8-3 record on the year and they still have an outside shot at winning the West Division should Calgary stumble somewhere down the line. They have won their last three games SU and going all the way back to mid-July they are 7-1 ATS. This will be the first meeting this season against their division rivals and BC comes in with 3-1 edge ATS in the last four meetings.

BC Lions at Edmonton Eskimos Prediction

Mike Reilly continues to lead the CFL in passing yards (4,053) and he is second in touchdown throws with 20, but no matter how many points Edmonton does score, it cannot keep pace with a defense that is allowing 29.3 points a game. Look for a outright BC win on the road this Friday night with Edmonton raising the white flag on the season.
