Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions Preview & Picks

BC Lions are tipped to cover as they return to winning ways.

The Lions have a good recent record when taking on struggling Calgary, especially at home.

  • BC Lions are 4-1 in their last 5 home games against Calgary
  • BC Lions are 7-3-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings with Calgary
  • Calgary Stampeders are 1-5-0 ATS in their previous 6 games
  • The Under cashed in the 2 previous meetings this season

Head To Head

  • BC Lions are 7-3 in the previous 10 meetings
  • Calgary Stampeders won 25-24 when the two teams last met on July 21

Calgary Stampeders Form

Calgary go into this game on a six-game winless run that has left them 4-9-1 and bottom of the West Division.

The Stampeders made a promising start to the season as they won two of their first three games, including a meeting with Winnipeg, but their form soon tailed off.

A 27-23 win over Toronto on back on August 4 was the last time they registered a victory, with a 39-25 defeat to the Argonauts a week later starting this bad run.

Calgary then lost 31-29 to Ottawa, before suffering back-to-back defeats to Edmonton, 35-20 at home and 37-16 on the road.

The Stampeders avoided a fifth straight loss with a 19-19 tie against Montreal, only to quickly return to losing ways as they were beaten 37-29 by Saskatchewan.

BC Lions Form

BC head into their third straight home game looking to snap a two-game losing skid that has left them 7-8.

The Lions have blown hot and cold during the campaign so far, going on a five-game win streak early in the season that was followed by a five-game skid.

They steadied the ship with a 38-12 win at home to Ottawa, and backed that up with a 37-23 upset of Montreal on the road, only to soon return to losing ways.

BC suffered a 33-17 defeat to Toronto that sent them into their second bye week of the season at 7-7.

And when the Lions returned to action last week they fell to 7-8, as they were beaten 32-29 by Hamilton in double overtime.

Verdict

Neither team is in good form, but BC are the better team and still have something to play for.

The Lions also have a strong recent record when hosting Calgary, so we are leaning towards the home team here.
