The Saskatchewan Roughriders will visit the Ottawa Redblacks in Week 18 of the CFL season on Friday. Saskatchewan is already locked into the postseason but will try to shake off a two-game losing streak here. Ottawa is scrapping for any remaining hope to get to the postseason and will try to get the win at home here.

Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|
Saskatchewan –3 | Saskatchewan –180 / Ottawa +150 | 52.5 |
The Riders’ offense is expected to be led by Trevor Harris, whose last outing was solid despite the loss. In Week 17, he completed 33 of 46 passes for 351 yards and one touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions. His ability to avoid mistakes will be key if the Riders want to avoid a third straight loss. Ottawa's Dru Brown has missed significant time this season. But he has twice as many touchdowns as interceptions and will try to be effective in this contest for his team.
Score Projection: Saskatchewan 30 – Ottawa 23
Win Probability: Saskatchewan 62%, Ottawa 38%
The Redblacks will give this game everything they have to try and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. But I don't think that will be enough for them to get the better of the Riders. Saskatchewan's defense should give Brown and the Ottawa offense fits and the Riders should put an end to their two-game losing streak while covering the spread.
