Blue Bombers at Stampeders picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Bombers 25, Stampeders 17
Moneyline
Winnipeg (-250) should beat Calgary for the 5th straight time, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Blue Bombers should win by margin.
PASS. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.
Against the spread
Brown looked good in his relief appearance Aug. 10, when he came in for the injured Collaros. The former Oklahoma State QB helped the Blue Bombers erase a 22-point deficit, throwing for 300 yards and 4 TDs.
Outside of a shocking upset win as 10-point home underdogs vs. the Toronto Argonauts Aug. 4, the Stampeders have looked like 1 of the worst teams in the CFL this season. Calgary is just 3-6 ATS and has only covered in its straight-up wins.
BET BLUE BOMBERS -4 (-110).

Over/Under
The Under is 4-1 in Winnipeg’s last 5 games after failing to cover in its previous contest. I like the defense to pick up where it left off in the 2nd half at Edmonton, when it allowed just 7 points.
The Under has gone 5-1-1 in the Stampeders’ last 7 games vs. teams with a winning record, and I could see Calgary’s offense struggling vs. Winnipeg for a 2nd time this season.
BET UNDER 47.5 (-110).
