The Stampeders have struggled this season, winning just five times, but they are the better team and they have covered in all of their victories.

Key Numbers – Will Stampeders Record 6th Cover?

Ottawa Redblacks have failed to cover in 4 of their last 5 road games
Ottawa Redblacks have failed to cover in 5 of their last 6 games overall

Ottawa Redblacks Winless After 12 Games

Ottawa ran Toronto close on the road last week, but they will still unable to get their first win on the board.

The Redblacks handed Ryan Dinwiddie the reins in the offseason – naming him head coach and general manager in response to a poor 2025 campaign.

However, that decision has not sparked a turnaround in fortunes, because the club is now edging closer and closer to the embarrassment of a winless season.

Ottawa have come painfully close to recording a first victory on several occasions, only to come up just short.

That was the case last weekend as they suffered a 26-23 defeat to the Argonauts in Toronto.

Calgary Stampeders 5-8 After Back-To-Back Defeats

Calgary enter this matchup on the back of a couple of losses to Edmonton that have left them 5-8.

The Stampeders still have a shot at making the playoffs despite the losing record, but they desperately need to start stringing together wins.

They have not managed back-to-back wins since the start of August, and they go into this game having lost four of the last five.

Calgary responded to a 33-30 loss in Toronto and a 30-26 defeat to the BC Lions with a 28-23 win at home to Hamilton.

The Stampeders failed to build on that though, as they were beaten in back-to-back games by Edmonton, losing 38-28 at home and 53-16 on the road.

Verdict

OTT Redblacks @ CAL Stampeders

Calgary’s recent form is rough, but unlike Ottawa they have shown that they can win games.

The Stampeders boast a perfect spread record when winning too, so we lean towards the home team in this one.
