Ottawa Redblacks vs Calgary Stampeders Prediction
This line is nuts. The Calgary Stampeders are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and they’re winless on the road through 3 games. The Ottawa Redblacks don’t do anything at an above average level, but they’re solid across the board and continue to find ways to win. The Redblacks are also undefeated at home. I know the Redblacks have been terrible in past years and are giving oddsmakers and bettors PTSD, but I’m judging them based on 6 games. Give me the Redblacks and the free points in a game they probably should win outright.
