Calgary Stampeders Form

Calgary head out on the road for the second week running looking to snap a three-game skid that is threatening to ruin their playoff chances.

The Stampeders made a strong start to the season as they won five of their first six games, before cooling off with back-to-back defeats in late July.

They rallied with a 28-27 win over Winnipeg before they bye week, and then backed that up as they downed Saskatchewan 32-15 and Edmonton 28-7.

Calgary have not won since that September 1 success though, with a 31-19 defeat in Edmonton sparking a three-game slide that has dropped them to 8-6.

The Stampeders were blown out at home by the BC Lions, 52-23, before suffering a 38-20 defeat when they visited Montreal.

BC Lions Form

BC enter this matchup on a three-game win streak that has improved them to 8-7 and put them firmly in the playoff mix.

The Lions enjoyed a winning start to the season, but quickly went cold as they lost three straight, before rallying in the first half of July with back-to-back wins.

They failed to keep that run going as they lost the next two before the bye week, but they did return to action in positive fashion, beating Hamilton 41-38 in overtime.

BC backed that up by beating Montreal 36-18, only to then drop the next two as they fell 52-34 in Toronto and 34-33 at Ottawa.

The Lions have not lost since however, backing up a 38-27 win over Ottawa with a 52-23 victory in Calgary and a 27-22 success at home to Toronto.

Verdict

This is a clash of two playoff-chasing teams heading in opposite directions at this time.

The Lions are the hotter hand and they recently ran over the Stampeders in Calgary, so we are backing the hosts to take another step closer to the postseason.
