Blue Bombers at Stampeders picks and predictions
Prediction
Stampeders 26, Blue Bombers 20
Moneyline
CALGARY (-175) is worth a look on the moneyline if you want some action on the game, but you’d prefer not to fiddle around with the points.
The Stamps are a concern on defense, however, ranking last in total yards per game (415.0) and rushing yards (120.5) per game allowed.
Winnipeg (+145) can’t be trusted, however, as it has found ways to lose the close games so far this season.
Against the spread
CALGARY -3 (-120) is a little cheaper laying the points. However, be careful, as Winnipeg has lost the past 2 games by a total of just 6 points.
The Blue Bombers have won 6 in a row in this series, and 9 of the past 10 outright, while holding a slight 6-4 ATS edge in the span dating back to Oct. 25, 2019.
Over/Under
UNDER 47.5 (-115) is worth a look, especially since the Blue Bombers have cashed low on the total in all 3 outings to date.
While the Stamps have had a ton of trouble defensively, they had 2 full weeks to prepare for this game after a bye in Week 3. Expect a much better defensive effort, especially at home, from the Stamps.
