Overview:

On Saturday, June 25^th, at 10:00 P.M. the Calgary Stampeders will be on the road to take on the BC Lions.  “The Crowd” projects a final score of Lions 33 – Stampeders 22.5. with an over/under of 55.5.

Statistics (9 total teams):

Calgary finished the 2015 regular season (14-4) while BC compiled a (7-11) record.  Calgary was (6-3) on the road last season whereas BC was (4-5) at home in 2015.

Calgary had a point differential over 100 while BC was just (-49).  Calgary was 2^nd in points per game (26.6) and 2^nd in points allowed per game (19.2) last season.  BC was 6^th in points per game (24.3) and 6^th in points allowed per game (27).

Summary:

If you look at the numbers Calgary is clearly one of the elite teams in the CFL.  Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was second in passing yards (4,551) and passing touchdowns (26) last season.  Mitchell has a great connection with receiver Eric Rogers who led the CFL in receiving yards (1,448) and touchdowns (10).

BC has some fantastic playmakers in running back Andrew Harris and wide receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux.  BC struggles with inconsistent quarterback play and a mediocre defense.  BC’s home crowd should be fired up but I like Calgary by double digits.
