Overview:
On Sunday, November 27th, at 7:00 P.M. the (4-4) Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be on the road to take on the (6-1-1) Calgary Stampeders.
The Crowd:
“The Crowd” projects a final score of Hamilton 23.8 – Calgary 22.4 with an over/under of 46.1.
Statistics (9 total teams):
Calgary (+217) has by far the best point differential in the CFL while Ottawa (-13) ranks fifth. Calgary ranks 1st in points per game (32.6) and 1st in fewest points allowed (20.5). Ottawa ranks 6th in points per game (27.0) and 6th in fewest points allowed (27.7).
Summary:
Calgary went (15-2-1) in the regular season whereas Ottawa was (8-9-1). Obviously, Calgary comes in as the heavy favorite dominating in the regular season both statistically and record wise. Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was the most outstanding player in the regular season throwing for over 5,300 yards with 32 touchdowns to just 8 interceptions. Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris would cement his legacy if his Redblacks were to upset his former team Calgary. I like Calgary to finish off their magical season with a Grey Cup Championship.
