The Stampeders are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games in October and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Lions are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games. The under is 4-1 in Stampeders last 5 road games. The under is 14-4 in Lions last 18 games overall. The Stampeders are 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 meetings in BC and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

All of a sudden the Stampeders have life with back-to-back wins over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and they have the second best passing attack in the league that’s encouraging on the road. The BC Lions have had an extra week to prepare for this game, but they’re coming off back-to-back losses and now play a Calgary team that’s beaten then in eight of the last 10 meetings. I’ve been saying the last few weeks you shouldn’t write off Calgary just yet. Give me the free field goal.
