The Stampeders vs Blue Bombers Game Prediction!
The Pick: Blue Bombers -3
The Calgary Stampeders are riding high after a huge upset win, but this could be a classic Letdown spot for them. They're heading into a tough matchup against a Winnipeg Blue Bombers team that's rested after a bye week and hungry for revenge. The last time these two teams met, the Bombers statistically outplayed the Stamps but ultimately lost due to a couple of costly turnovers that turned into pick-sixes. This time, the game is in Winnipeg, where the Bombers have been nearly unbeatable for years. Expect two-time CFL MOP Zach Collaros to lead a much cleaner performance, as Winnipeg is simply too experienced to make the same mistakes. Look for the Bombers to bounce back, get their revenge, and secure a big win at home.
