Point Spread: Edmonton -3.5
Total: 52.5

<p>
The Eskimos will play their first road match of the season when they travel to Winnipeg and bettors will be hoping for a more successful result against the spread as Edmonton seeks their first spread cover. The line has opened this game with the host Blue Bombers a +3.5 underdog with a total line of 52.5.
</p>
<p>
The Eskimos have scored a total of 76 points in their first two games, but the reason they are 1-1 both SU and ATS is a defense that has allowed a total of 81 points to Ottawa and Saskatchewan at home. This will be their first road game of the season and they come in with a 12-3 record ATS in their last 15 games following an ATS loss. Mike Reilly has played well at quarterback with 761 total passing yards and five scoring strikes. Wide Receiver Adarius Bowman is second in the CFL in receiving yards with 247 and he has three touchdown catches.

<p>
Winnipeg’s stunning 28-24 upset against Hamilton as a nine-point road underdog was all the more improbable considering a SU 2-10 record down the stretch of the 2015 season followed by a 0-2 start (both SU and ATS) this year. Credit Drew Willy for last week’s big win after throwing for 279 yards and a score while completing 32-of-42 attempts.

Edmonton Eskimos vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Free Pick

Drew Willy should be able to move the ball against this week against a suddenly porous Edmonton defense, but I will still lay the 3.5 points and take Edmonton to win both SU and ATS.
