Both these teams had confidence boosting wins last week. This week each will face a defence in the top half of the league and both offences continue to languish in the bottom quarter of the league.

Calgary will have put together a package to deal with Ottawa’s QB Crumb who surprised everyone in the second half of week 6’s come from behind win over an aging Bombers’ defence with his mobility and ability to find receivers. The Stamps will not be surprised and will disguise the pass rush and run defence that should be problematic for the QB making his second career start.

Calgary’s Maier has had problems when he is hurried. Ottawa is second in the league in sacks. With Mills and the Calgary run game struggling last week against the Riders, they will not have an easier time this week against the 2nd best run defence in the league. The Red Blacks have the 3rd highest number of sacks as well so with troubles running the football Maier, will be in some difficulty trying to pass effectively.

Ottawa and Calgary already have the worst and 3rd worst passing yards/game numbers so put this all together and we have another early season defensive battle on our hands. Take the under and enjoy the domination of the defences.
