Calgary Stampeders Still In Playoff Race After Back-To-Back Wins

Calgary sit bottom of the division, but back-to-back wins mean they are still firmly in the playoff race at 7-8.

The Stampeders blew hot and cold through the first couple of months of the season, splitting their opening eight games.

They then suffered back-to-back defeats in August to lose ground in the postseason race, falling 33-30 at Toronto and 30-26 at home to the BC Lions.

Calgary avoided a third straight loss, beating Hamilton 28-23, only to then suffer back-to-back defeats to Edmonton, as they were beaten 38-28 at home and 53-16 on the road.

The Stampeders have reignited their playoff push in the past couple of weeks though, beating Ottawa 40-38 at home and 45-31 on the road.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Need Response To Consecutive Losses

Saskatchewan’s quest for back-to-back Grey Cups have suffered a setback in recent weeks, with back-to-back defeats dropping them to 8-6.

The Roughriders made a strong start to the season as they won six of their first eight games, but they have gone cold since the middle of August.

They lost 26-19 in Hamilton, and then suffered a 30-16 defeat when they paid a visit to the BC Lions.

Saskatchewan rallied to beat Toronto 28-24 and Winnipeg 32-26 in overtime at home, only to end September with consecutive defeats.

The Roughriders lost 19-6 in Winnipeg, and then returned from a bye week with a 31-24 loss at the BC Lions.

Verdict

CAL Stampeders @ SAS Roughriders

Calgary arrive in better form, but Saskatchewan are the better team and they have home advantage.

We are backing the Roughriders to get their postseason quest back on track with a much-needed win and cover.
