Calgary Stampeders vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers Prediction
The Calgary Stampeders are past their glory days and aren’t the moneymakers they used to be, and this is going to be a long season if the defensive issues continue. However, let’s not act like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are lighting the world on fire, and they’re a below average team at both ends of the field. Somehow the Blue Bombers keep getting these lines, and they’ve lost and failed to over their last 4 games. Yes, the Blue Bombers have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Stampeders, but Calgary has also had an extra week to prepare for this game. Give me the points with the Calgary Stampeders, even if it’s a fade of the Blue Bombers as favorites, more than anything.
