BC Lions Red-Hot With 9 Wins In Last 10 Games

BC enter this matchup as the league’s most in-form team, having won nine of their last 10 games to book their playoff place with a 10-6 record.

The Lions made a terrible start to the season as they lost five of their first six games, but kick-started their postseason quest in August with a five-game win streak.

That run was ended by a 37-30 defeat in Montreal, but they issued an immediate response.

BC beating the Alouettes at home a week later, 48-39, and since returning from the bye week they have taken their current win streak to four games.

The Lions have beaten Saskatchewan 31-24 at home, Toronto 24-17 on the road, and Ottawa 41-20 at home.

Calgary Stampeders Look To Rebound From Streak-Ending Loss

Calgary go into this game on the back of a defeat that ended a three-game win streak and dented their playoff hopes.

The Stampeders lost ground in the postseason race when they lost back-to-back meetings with Edmonton last month.

They lost 38-28 at home and 53-16 on the road, but rallied over the next three weeks with consecutive wins to stay in the hunt.

Calgary won back-to-back meetings with Ottawa, 40-38 at home and 45-31 on the road, and then made it three-in-a-row with a 37-31 success in Saskatchewan.

However, the Stampeders were unable to register a fourth consecutive win, losing 33-28 at Winnipeg last time out.

The Lions have been on a tear over the past couple of months and now they get to take on one of the worst defenses in the league.
