Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions Week 9 Prediction
The Lions (5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS) appeared to be legitimate contenders in the West until last week’s 41-8 meltdown against Saskatchewan as three-point road favorites. They are now 1-2 SU in their last three games and 1-3 ATS in their last four. They might want to go back to Travis Lulay at quarterback following Jonathon Jennings’ four interceptions against the Roughriders. Either way, I am going with Calgary to win SU, but with BC to find a way to cover with the 4.5 points.
Free Pick:
Take the BC Lions -4.5
