Two streaking clubs will meet on the field of McMahon Stadium when the Blue Bombers winners of seven straight visit the Stampeders who have won nine consecutive games. Winnipeg’s last loss came at home against Calgary 33-19 lending some validity to the large 9.5 point line handicapping the Stamps. The over/under line hit the board at 52.5 points with bet365 moving it up to 53.
The Blue Bombers’ current SU winning streak reached seven games with last week’s 46-29 victory against Toronto, but it was just the first time they covered as favorites in their last three games after closing as 5.5-point favorites at home. The spark on offense continues to be quarterback Matt Nichols and in this game he only threw for 232 yards and one score, but he went a highly efficient 24-for-33 in that game. This was the first time that Winnipeg’s defense allowed more than 25 points during the current seven-game run.
Calgary’s SU winning streak reached nine games with a 48-23 victory against Ottawa in Week 13 as an eight-point home favorite. The Stampeders have now covered in eight of the nine games and the total has gone OVER in the last three.
- The Blue Bombers are 5-2 against the spread in their last 7 games.
- Winnipeg is 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 road games.
- The game total has gone under in 4 of Winnipeg’s last 5 road games in Calgary.
- The Stampeders are 5-0 against the spread in their last 5 games.
- Calgary is 5-0 straight up in their last 5 games against Winnipeg.
