The Ottawa RedBlacks (2-3) and the Calgary Stampeders (2-3) meet Sunday in a Week 7 matchup at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the RedBlacks vs. Stampeders odds and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.
The RedBlacks picked up an impressive 31-28 win in overtime in Week 6 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. However, Ottawa hasn’t had success on the road, going 0-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS). The Under is 4-0 in 4 games decided in regulation, with Ottawa’s lone Over result in OT last week.
The Stampeders took care of the RedBlacks in Canada’s capital city in Week 2, winning 26-15 to cover as 6.5-point favorites as the Under (43) cashed. Calgary lost and failed to cover the next 2 games before outlasting Saskatchewan in Regina by a 33-31 score last weekend.

RedBlacks at Stampeders picks and predictions
Prediction
Stampeders 25, RedBlacks 18
Moneyline
Calgary (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return. That’s quite a bit expensive, even with Calgary playing on its home field against a team it already beat on the road in Week 2.
PASS, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
CALGARY -4.5 (-110) is a strong play at home.
It won by 11 points on the road against Ottawa +4.5 (-110) in Week 2, and it is coming off an impressive offensive showing in Regina against the Roughriders last weekend. The offense has produced 26 or more points in 3 of the last 4 games, including the win over the RedBlacks.
Ottawa +4.5 (-110) is just too banged up to trust, especially in a road game against a team it has already lost against.
Over/Under
UNDER 44.5 (-110) is the lean, ever so slightly.
We saw these teams combine for just 41 points and an Under (43) result in Week 2. While Ottawa was impressive last week, posting 31 points of offense, the Under is still 4-1 overall for the RedBlacks.
The Under is 3-2 for Calgary this season, too, including 1-1 at McMahon Stadium.
