Stampeders VS Lions Best Bets


Moneyline Pick: BC Lions

After taking a shellacking from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in their last matchup, look for the Lions to get back on track as they fend off the visiting Stampeders.

The Lions have been a spectacular squad this Summer, having looked like the most complete team in the CFL at times. While last weeks loss certainly didn’t boost their stock, the Lions are still a force within the Western Conference.

Even with their outstanding underdog performance in last weeks victory over the formerly-undefeated Toronto Argonauts, there are still plenty of uncertainties with the Stampeders. Having looked great in flashes and horrendous in others, the Stampeders are still far to inconsistent to trust when facing elite competition.

With the Lions potentially regaining starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., look for them to handle business at home, rebounding in a big way as they send the Stamps back to the loss column.

Point Spread Pick: Calgary Stampeders (+6.5)

While we expect to see the Lions reign victorious in front of their home crowd this evening, don’t expect it to be by a wide-margin as the Stampeders cover the point spread in tonight’s showdown.

The Stampeders looked impressive in Week 9, shocking the CFL world by crushing the Argonauts. With their defence taking a huge step in the right direction coupled with the explosive Stamps offence led by strongarm QB Jake Maier, the Lions could have a tough time going punch-for-punch tonight.

Expect to see the Stampeders play at a blistering pace, ramping up the tempo of their drives to maximize their scoring opportunities, and keeping the Lions on their heels all-game long. Bank on the Stampeders to stay within striking distance of tonight’s lead, covering the spread as underdogs.

Over/Under Pick: Over 45.5 Points

With both sides looking to throw haymakers early on into this tilt, expect to see plenty of scoring in tonight’s matchup as the Stampeders and Lions combine for Over 45.5 points.

In a matchup that could have season-altering implications, neither side can afford to play it safe. With urgency on both sidelines, look for both teams to push the ball downfield with long bombs and trick plays in order to gain an edge in tonight’s fixture.

Bet the Over on the total points scored in the Stampeders VS Lions and watch as your bankroll rises alongside the scoreboard.



Best Stampeders VS Lions Player Prop Bets


Reggie Begelton Over 69.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Likely to be a constant source of offence for his team within the Stampeders game plan, take the Over on Reggie Begelton’s total receiving yards against the Lions.

Having hauled in Over 69.5 yards in three of his last four outings, expect to see the athletic wideout garner a hefty amount of targets throughout the contest as he finds openings within the Lions secondary. Look for Begelton to help keep the Stamps within reach of the lead, racking up Over 69.5 receiving yards as a result.

Dominique Rhymes Under 59.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Having hit a cold spell in his 2023 campaign, expect to see Lions wide receiver Dominique Rhymes fail to record more than 59.5 receiving yards.

Rhymes has struggled to produce in recent matchups, finishing with Under 59.5 receiving yards in three-straight contests. The big-bodied receiver has had a tough time exploiting size mismatches this season, failing to garner more than three targets in two of his last three games.

Fade Rhymes as he faces a tough Stampeders secondary, hammer the Under on his total receiving yards, and win big off of is weak performance.
