Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders Preview & Picks

Ottawa are tipped to cover as a betting underdog on the road.

The Redblacks have been the better team this season and they did blow out Calgary just last month.

  • Ottawa Redblacks are unbeaten in their last 4 games
  • Ottawa Redblacks are 4-2-0 ATS in their previous 6 games
  • Ottawa beat Calgary by 27 points when the teams last met on July 26
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the last 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Calgary Stampeders lead the series 12-5 since 2014
  • Ottawa Redblacks won 33-6 when the two teams last met on July 27

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa enter this game on the four-game unbeaten run that has left them with a 5-2-1 record through 10 weeks.

The Redblacks split their first four games of the season, going 2-2, but they found some consistency in July.

It started with back-to-back showdowns with Edmonton that saw them beat the Elks 37-34 on the road, before returning home to win 20-14.

Ottawa then made it three wins in a row as they blew out Calgary at home, 33-6, before their second bye week of the campaign.

The Redblacks returned to action last weekend and took their unbeaten run to four games, although they had to settle for a 22-22 tie with Saskatchewan.

Calgary Stampeders Form

Calgary come into this matchup still seeking some consistency, having lost last time out to drop to 4-5 on the season.

The Stampeders opened their campaign with a 32-24 victory over Hamilton, but they failed to follow that up and they are yet to win consecutive games this season.

They returned from their first bye week with a 22-19 overtime win over Winnipeg, only to then suffer road defeats at Montreal, 30-26, and Winnipeg, 41-37.

Calgary rebounded to beat BC Lions 25-24 at home, only to then suffer a 33-6 blowout defeat when they visited Ottawa.

The Stampeders responded with a 27-23 success against the Argonauts, but failed to back that up as they then travelled to Toronto to lose 39-25.

Verdict

There is no doubting that Calgary are a much better team at home, but we cannot ignore Ottawa’s form and the recent meeting.

The Redblacks are unbeaten in four and beat the Stampeders by multiple scores last month, so give us the visitors and the points.
