The pair sit in the bottom three in points allowed and yards allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, both the Elks and Tiger-Cats have been solid offensive teams this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They sit in the top four in offensive points, touchdowns, and total yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a change at quarterback for Hamilton, but it shouldn&#8217;t be a cause for concern. Taylor Powell is in line to make his first start of 2024 after taking the duties over from Bo Levi Mitchell last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powell nearly played the entire game and looked great, completing 30-of-38 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat: <\/strong>The teams combine to average 53.7 points per game through 10 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blue Bombers\/Lions under 48.5 (-110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:91580\">Embed: #91580<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BC Lions&#8217; offence used to be formidable, but ever since Vernon Adams Jr. went down with an injury it has faltered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the last two games with Jake Dolegala at the helm, BC has scored 16 points combined, including getting skunked against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 25-0 two weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bombers have had the worst offence in the league, averaging the least points (20.9) and sixth-most yards per game (351.1) in the CFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To combat that, Winnipeg&#8217;s defence has been stellar. The unit allows the least amount of points (20.7), yards (320.8), and passing yards (226.9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine two disappointing offences with one of the best defensive units in the league and I like the under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 2:00 p.m. ET on 08\/13\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CFL Week 11 action runs from Thursday through Sunday, and there are a couple of wagers that I like across the league.
