Calgary Stampeders Form
Calgary head out on the road riding a three-game win streak that has taken them to 8-8 and has put them within touching distance of the playoffs.
The Stampeders blew hot and cold as they split their first eight games of the season, and a rough run between the start of August and the middle of September then threatened to end their season.
They lost 33-30 at Toronto and 30-26 to the BC Lions, and then failed to follow up a 28-23 win over Hamilton as they lost back-to-back games against Edmonton, falling 38-28 at home and 53-16 on the road.
Those losses left Calgary at 5-8, but they have turned things around over the past few weeks with three straight wins.
The Stampeders are back in the playoff mix having beaten Ottawa 40-38 at home and 45-31 on the road, and Saskatchewan 37-31 on the road.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form
Winnipeg have gone cold over the past couple of months, with six defeats in their last nine games dropping them to 7-8.
The Blue Bombers made a solid start as they won four of their first six games, but back-to-back defeats in July proved to be the start of a dip in form.
They failed to back up a 33-21 win over Ottawa as they lost 22-19 in Edmonton, and were then unable to build on a 44-28 victory against Montreal as they fell 32-26 in overtime in Saskatchewan.
Winnipeg avenged that loss to the Roughriders the following week, winning 19-6 at home, but they have not tasted victory since then.
The Blue Bombers lost 30-28 to Toronto and 37-10 in Montreal, meaning they are now two games behind BC and one behind Saskatchewan and Calgary in the postseason race.
