Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs Calgary Stampeders Prediction
The Calgary Stampeders already beat the Blue Bombers a couple of weeks ago as 3.5 point underdogs in overtime, so there’s some value with the points in this spot. The Blue Bombers are also off to a horrible start to the season. With all that said, the Blue Bombers are coming off their best game of the season where the running game got going, and the defense was sharper. Zach Collaros could also be better at quarterback after a week off. The Stampeders aren’t good defensively.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are much better than their record and the numbers indicate, and last week could be the turning point. Give me the Blue Bombers by a touchdown.
