Randy’s Pick
The Calgary Stampeders have been an underwhelming team through 4 games as their defense is below average across the board and their offense hasn’t gotten the passing game going. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have areas they can improve as well, but they’re off to a 3-1 start, and that includes a road win over Calgary on the road in double overtime. At home, I’ll lay the small chalk with the Roughriders, the team that’s playing better football right now.
