Calgary has something to prove on Friday night in a rematch of the 2016 Grey Cup title game. It closed as a 9.5-point favorite to win the championship before coming up on the wrong end of a heart-breaking 39-33 loss in overtime. Bo Levi Mitchell is back at quarterback after leading the league in touchdown throws last season with 32. This team is loaded with talent at the skill positions led by receivers’ DaVaris Daniels and Marquay McDaniel and running back Jerome Messam.

Calgary Stampeders at Ottawa RedBlacks Prediction
Ottawa parted ways with Ernest Jackson and Chris Williams as a big chunk of an offense that averaged 27 points per game in 2016. Trevor Harris takes over the reins at quarterback on a fulltime basis with the retirement of Henry Burris and he will have to quickly get up to speed with new receivers Diontae Spencer and Kenny Shaw. It could take a few games for things to gel so I am going with Calgary to successfully avenge that Grey Cup loss both SU and ATS.
Free Pick:
Take Calgary SU and -2.5
