Lions at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Stampeders 28

Moneyline

The Lions lead the CFL in scoring, averaging 30.3 points per game. They have put up 79 in their last 2 games while the Stampeders have allowed 71 points in their last 2 games.

The Lions have beaten the Stampeders in 5 of their last 6 meetings and should get their 6th straight win, but don’t bet the moneyline at -205, lacking the value you want in a wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

In their 5 straight wins, the Lions have covered the spread in 4 of them. They have won their last 2 games each by 15 or more. They have covered the spread in their last 7 wins over Calgary.

Calgary has covered the spread in 4 of their 5 games this season. Their only ATS loss was to BC.

BET LIONS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Their 1st meeting had a total of 43 points, but both teams’ last 2 games have all had totals of at least 55 points.

BET OVER 52.5 (-115).

Lions at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 26, Stampeders 18

Moneyline

The Lions beat the Stampeders twice in the regular season and once in the playoffs last year.

Before the playoff matchup, the road team had won 7 consecutive games in the matchup. The road team has won 8 of the last 10 meetings of the 2 teams.

The Lions are the healthier team in the opener.

BET LIONS (+125).

Against the spread

The outright winner in the matchup has covered the spread in 3 straight meetings and in 8 of the last 10.

In 2022, the Lions were 11-7 ATS in the regular season while the Stamps were 9-8-1 ATS.

Because we like the underdog Lions to win outright, you get much better odds on the moneyline than on an ATS wager.

PASS.

Over/Under

BC was 8-9-1 O/U during last year’s regular season. Calgary was 11-7 O/U.

The Over/Under split 5-5 in their last 10 meetings and was 2-2 in their 4 matchups last season.

Being that this is the season opener, expect the defenses to be a little ahead of offenses.

BET UNDER 50.5 (-105).
