Calgary Stampeders Betting Preview 

The Calgary Stampeders have a chance at back to back wins for the first time this season. The Stampeders are 2-2 SU on the road this season. Jake Maier is completing 64 percent of his passes for 2,078 yards, 8 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Reggie Begelton and Tre Odoms-Dukes have combined for 994 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, while Clark Barnes has 24 receptions. The Calgary Stampeders ground game is averaging 95.4 yards per contest, and Dedrick Mills leads the way with 483 yards and 3 touchdowns. Defensively, Calgary is allowing 24.9 points and 344.5 yards per game. Micah Awe leads the Calgary Stampeders with 62 tackles, Mike Rose has 6 sacks and Cameron Judge has 2 interceptions.

BC Lions Betting Preview 

The BC Lions look to avoid back to back losses for the first time this season. The Lions are 3-0 SU at home this season. Vernon Adams Jr. is completing 70.9 percent of his passes for 1,528 yards, 9 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. Alexander Hollins and Keon Hatcher have combined for 859 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns, while Dominique Rhymes has 22 receptions. The BC Lions ground game is averaging 88.5 yards per contest, and Taquan Mizzell leads the way with 413 yards on 78 attempts. Defensively, BC is allowing 18 points and 317.9 yards per game. Boseko Lokombo leads the BC Lions with 44 tackles, Mathieu Betts has 10 sacks and Garry Peters has 2 interceptions.

Trends

The Stampeders are 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 road games and 35-17-2 ATS in their last 54 games in August. The Lions are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The under is 7-3 in Stampeders last 10 games overall. The under is 9-3 in Lions last 12 games overall. The Stampeders are 16-6-1 ATS in their last 23 meetings in BC and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

The Calgary Stampeders have yet to put together back to back good showings, and their offense has been hit or miss all year. The BC Lions beat Calgary by 10 points on the road earlier this season, and their defense isn’t going to make things easy for the Stamps. BC is first in both total defense and scoring defense. BC is undefeated at home this season and has had great covering success at home dating back to last year. We’re laying a touchdown. Give me the BC Lions.
