The over is 6-1 in Stampeders last 7 games overall. The under is 10-3 in RedBlacks last 13 games overall. The under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
I’m not going to hold it against the Calgary Stampeders for losing back-to-back games to Winnipeg. The Blue Bombers are beating everybody this season. The Stampeders are still elite offensively, and they had their chances in both games against Winnipeg. The Ottawa Redblacks need more than 1 win for me to show them attention, as they’ve been horrible dating back to the 2019 season and their defense has let them down all year. The Stampeders should have a field day offensively in this spot. I’ll lay the points with the road team.
