BC Lions vs Calgary Stampeders Prediction
The BC Lions should be favored at home against a team that hasn’t won a game in two months. The Calgary Stampeders are awful on both sides of the ball. However, let’s not act like BC is lighting the world on fire, as the Lions have won just 2 games since mid-July. The Stampeders have also had an extra week to prepare for this game, which does provide some sort of edge. I’m just not laying 7.5 points with a BC team that’s in awful form. It’s Calgary and the points or pass for me.
