Stefan Logan rushed for 153 yards for the Lions (12-7), who will play the Calgary Stampeders (13-5) in the West final next weekend.
Saskatchewan (12-7) fumbled three times and quarterback Michael Bishop was intercepted three times as the Roughriders' offense could only muster four field goals.
B.C. had a 7-0 lead after the first quarter and extended the advantage to 16-6 at the break.
Jarious Jackson's lone pass of the game pushed the lead to 26-9 with 1:09 left in the third as he connected with Geroy Simon for a 31-yard touchdown.
Ryan Phillips had a 54-yard interception return for a score midway through the fourth to put the game out of reach.
