Calgary Stampeders vs BC Lions Prediction
The BC Lions are on a roll right now with the best offense in the league and 5 straight wins. The Lions also beat the Stampeders earlier this season and have won 7 of the last 9 games against them overall. With that said, the Calgary Stampeders are unbeaten at home and despite back to back losses, they were competitive in those two road games. The Stampeders are 4-1 ATS on the year, and they have the ground game to shorten this game and keep it close. I’m going to grab the points with the Stamps at home.
