WESTERN CONFERENCE GAME OF THE WEEK!
(CFL) Winnipeg vs. Calgary,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Winnipeg (Away)
Result: Loss
The Stamps are running out of runway here to salvage their season. They need to get back on track but are in the middle of a string of games against the Lions, Argos and Bombers; the elite of the CFL. It isn’t going to happen this week. QB Maier is just too inconsistent. His last loss to the Bombers he only got 122 yards passing. In 4 of his last 9 games he has less than 170 yards passing. That doesn’t come close to cutting it in the pass happy CFL. He leads the CFL in INTs thrown and has the lowest passer efficiency rating among qualified QBs at 78.7. This is bad news against a Bombers’ “D” that has the 2nd best opponents’ pass efficiency rating (77.9) and opponents’ avg yards/pass (7.4).

On the other side of the ball the Bombers lead the CFL in passing yards and are 2nd in rushing yards. Calgary’s “D” is in the bottom half of the CFL in both for opponents rushing and passing categories.

The Bombers are 5-1 in their last 6 after an ATS loss while the Stamps are 1-5 in their last 6 ATS vs. the West. The spread is less because Brown will start in place of Collaros but Brown has too many weapons at his disposal. Lay the points and take the Bombers.
