Why are the Winnipeg Blue Bombers a good bet ATS?

The Blue Bombers rank first in rushing yards per game, 134.9, and points per game, 30.6. Winnipeg likes to control the clock with their rushing attack. They don’t get sucked into throwing the football all over the field.

It’s been very successful the past couple of months as Winnipeg went 5-1 straight up in their last 6 games. The lone loss was in Week 21. Edmonton beat Winnipeg 33-24. By that game, though, the Blue Bombers had all already nailed down a spot in the Western Division Semifinals.
