Statistics (9 total teams):

Calgary (+59) has the best point differential in the CFL while BC (+53) ranks second.  Calgary ranks 2nd in points per game (30.1) and 1st in fewest points allowed (21.7).  BC ranks 1st in points per game (32.3) and 5th in fewest points allowed (24.7).

Summary:

This is one of the better games on the CFL schedule all season.  BC is coming off a 45-38 shootout victory over Hamilton while Calgary edged out Saskatchewan 19-10.  These teams are very evenly matched but I think Calgary is the more balanced team because of their elite defense.  I think this will be a really close game but I give the slightest edge to Calgary.
