<p>
The home team in this matchup has won eight of the last nine meetings SU and BC has a 4-1 edge ATS in the last five meetings. However, the Eskimos remain confident that they can get their new season off to a strong start as slight road underdogs. Mike Reilly led the CFL in passing yards last season with 5,554 and he was second in touchdown throws with 28. He will not have Derel Walker in the lineup anymore and Adarius Bowman is another year older so look for Brandon Zylstra to play a bigger role in the passing game.

Edmonton Eskimos at BC Lions Prediction ATS For Week 1

BC finished second to Calgary in the West last season and it will rely heavily on Jonathon Jennings to close that gap in 2017. He was the league’s third-leading passer with 5,226 yards, but there was some concern with his league-high 15 interceptions. The Lions were the third-highest scoring team in the CFL last year behind Calgary and Edmonton and I think that both of these division rivals are going to fire things up on Saturday night to take this game OVER the 58-point total.
