Stampeders at Redblacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Redblacks 32, Stampeders 22
Moneyline
The REDBLACKS (+100) look like a new team with Brown as the starter this season, especially since they finished just 4-14 last year. Ottawa has allowed 25 or fewer points in 4 of its 6 games, and winning July 19 in a good revenge spot for Edmonton shouldn’t be overlooked.
The Stampeders are 0-2 this season after a win, losing by an average margin of 6.5 points per game. While that is a small sample size, this is a team that won back-to-back games just once all last season (in Weeks 19 and 20) and may be overvalued by the market after covering 4 straight.
BET REDBLACKS (+100).
Against the spread
Ottawa +1.5 (-105) should hit, but getting even money to bet the Redblacks straight up is preferred with such a small spread.
PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.
Over/Under
The Stampeders are 2-0 to the Over in their last 2 road games, allowing 30 or more points in both outings. Calgary has given up an average of 34.5 points over its last 4 away games, dating back to last year’s playoffs, with the O/U going 3-1 over that span.
LEAN OVER 51.5 (-110).
