Redblacks Game Analysis
Ottawa didn’t decide to wait and see if Dustin Crum could develop as a quarterback. Dru Brown will be one of the Redblacks players stepping into a new role this season. The Redblacks acquired Brown in a trade with Winnipeg.
The CFL injury report shows that Ottawa still has a few quarterback players who could step in if Brown falters. Tyrie Adams, who suffered a torn ACL last season, may see some time for the Redblacks.
Anyone making a Blue Bombers vs Redblacks Prediction will see that the Redblacks should be solid on defense. CFL team stats show that Ottawa was good on defense last season, and the Redblacks would like to build on that foundation. The Redblacks made a splash in free agency by signing Adarius Pickett at linebacker. Pickett was the East Most Outstanding Defensive Player nominee with Toronto last season.
Anyone making CFL computer picks will see the Redblacks bring back key players in their secondary as well. Brandin Dandridge and Damon Webb are back this season. Jovan Santos-Knox and Frankie Griffin return at linebacker as well according to CFL odds.

Winnipeg vs Ottawa Head-to-Head
The CFL scores reflect that Winnipeg and Ottawa have been in a competitive series. While the Redblacks won the last meeting, Winnipeg has dominated the recent matchups, winning five of the past six games. The Blue Bombers lead the all-time series 9-6.
This game will be important for Winnipeg to get back on its feet. The Blue Bombers made the Grey Cup last season but saw their opening to this season fall flat on offense. With a strong quarterback in Collaros, Winnipeg has no reason to be limited to 12 points. Expect more from the Blue Bombers in this game to help push the score over the total. When evaluating this Blue Bombers vs Redblacks matchup, it will be a case where Ottawa still has some cobwebs to shake off.
