Result: Win
Winnipeg is 3-0. But the Blue Bombers are stepping up in class after beating Edmonton and BC twice. The combined record of those two teams is 1-6.
Calgary pulled upsets against Hamilton and Toronto before getting upset at home two weeks ago by Ottawa. The Stampeders were idle last week. They have the advantage of rest and home field, which should mean a lot since this game has become part of the festivities of the Stampede, one of the biggest outdoor events in Western Canada.
The Stampeders have the quarterback, Vernon Adams Jr., and top-notch runner, Dedrick Mills, to outscore the Blue Bombers while effectively playing ball-control.
Adams has thrown for 1,061 yards and five TD's against the Blue Bombers the past two seasons. The Stampeders' offense has more stability with Adams under center.
The Blue Bombers needed a big fourth quarter to defeat Edmonton last week. Winnipeg isn't as good as its unbeaten record shows. The Blue Bombers are ripe to be upset. The situation and quality of opposition lays out well here for that upset to occur.
