The under is 6-2 in Roughriders last 8 games overall. The Roughriders are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 meetings.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have had an extra week to prepare for this game, and they’ve covered a lot of numbers on the road, but I’m not sure any of that matters. The Calgary Stampeders have already beaten the Roughriders twice this season and have won seven of the last 10 meetings against them overall. Also, the Stamps are a team that’s starting to catch fire at the right time, and we’ve cashed some nice underdog tickets with them this month. Oddsmakers are starting to catch on, but I’ll still back the Stampeders at home.
