Lions vs. Stampeders ML Pick

Stampeders (-250) ★★★★★

When these teams last faced off in Calgary on August 13th, the Lions narrowly won 41-40. At that time, the Lions were dominating as the top offense in the league with Rourke leading the team. This week, Vernon Adams Jr. will be starting for the Lions. In his limited playing time with both the Lions and Montreal Alouettes, he has thrown for 311 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

In the past four weeks, Jake Maier has excelled on the field, taking over for veteran Bo Levi Mitchell and accumulating 975 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Stampeders -6.5 (-110) ★★★

The Stampeders excel at running the ball, with starting running back Ka’Deem Carey leading the league in rushing yards with 712 and scoring the most rushing touchdowns by a running back with seven.

The Lions have failed to cover the spread in their last two games since Rourke’s injury, and that trend is expected to continue this week.

Lions vs. Stampeders O/U Pick

Under 52.5(-110) ★★★★

Ever since Rourke’s injury, the Lions have not had a game that surpassed the Over. While the Stampeders have exceeded the Over in two of their last three games, I believe the Lions will struggle to keep up and reach the Over 52.5.
