Touchdown Pacific hits Vancouver Island this weekend, and Trevor Knapp expects BC's tailspin to continue as they face a surging Ottawa Redblacks team for the second consecutive week.The BC Lions are a colossal mess, and Nathan Rourke has proven to be nothing more than a band-aid for a seriously flawed team that hasn't won a game since mid-July.
This time, however, everything is operating in the inverse. Following a 5-1 start to 2024 that saw Vernon Adams Jr. put up video game numbers, the Leos have fallen apart at the seams, entering Week 13 as losers of their last five. The biggest problems for BC don't end with the offense, however. Defensively, the Leos' secondary has been burned all season long, allowing a league-worst 74.4% completion percentage and 111.8 passer rating to opposing QBs.
Although the Lions are the home team this time around, Saturday's game is being played at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, which carries a capacity of less than 15,000. With the Redblacks boasting a defense that allows a league-low 6.4 yards per play and Rourke still ironing out kinks north of the border, taking the Redblacks at +2.5 is an easy choice.Despite starting the season on a tear, Lions wideout Alexander Hollins has struggled to find his rhythm with Rourke under center.
