A heartbreaking loss in the West Final ended the BC Lions’ 2025 season on a sour note, but Nathan Rourke & Co. will look to get revenge in Regina on Saturday night.
My Lions vs. Roughriders predictions expect BC to do just that, especially with Saskatchewan losing a bevy of pieces in the offseason.

Lions vs Roughriders prediction
Lions vs Roughriders best bet: Lions moneyline (+115)
The BC Lions were essentially one first down away from punching their ticket to the Grey Cup last fall, and with added continuity under Buck Pierce heading into 2026, they’re the team to beat in the West.
BC is my early-season Grey Cup pick to finish the job in November. Featuring reigning MOP quarterback Nathan Rourke and 2025 receiving yards leader Keon Hatcher, this team is loaded on offense and returns the majority of its talent after leading the CFL in points (31.1) and yards per game (431.3) last season.
While the Saskatchewan Roughriders are the defending Grey Cup champions, they lost several game-changers on the defensive side of the ball, especially up front, including defensive end Malik Carney and linebacker A.J. Allen departing in free agency.
Facing the league’s best offense, expect a highly motivated BC squad to settle the score at Mosaic Stadium, and I’d play this up to +100.
Lions vs Roughriders same-game parlay
The Over has cashed in the last five head-to-head matchups that came before October, and with sunny and clear conditions expected at Mosaic Stadium, a pass-heavy contest should be on tap, especially given the Lions’ elite aerial attack.
Last year’s West Final was set at an O/U of 52.5, and that was despite conditions dipping to around -7 by kickoff, with both teams ultimately recording more rushing attempts than passing.
