The Line Moved Three Points; the Matchup Didn’t

Winnipeg opened -4.5 and moved to -7.5 after B.C.’s lineup news, but Andrew McInnis’ own warning — “must win doesn’t mean will win” — applies: the market has already baked in Salter starting and Hatcher/McInnis out. The Bombers’ edge is situational football, not margin; backing them at -7.5 ignores that B.C.’s changes are priced and Winnipeg’s win-and-in pressure can tighten play-calling.
