Game preview Calgary vs Ottawa

On Thursday, the Calgary Stampeders (0-1) will travel to TD Place Stadium to face the Ottawa Redblacks (0-1). Calgary opens as 4.5-point favorites while the total is set at 43.5. Both teams looked bad in week 1 and will look to bounce back from it.

Can the Red Blacks offense get on track?

Last time out, the Redblacks faced off against the Alouettes and were defeated 19-12. Devonte Williams led his team on the ground for 36 yards on 11 carries with a long run for 10 yards but did not cross into the end zone by way of rush; this averaged out to 3.0 yards per carry averaged across 11 attempts. Nathaniel Behar led in receiving yardage with 46 on 5 receptions for an average catch average of 9.2 per catch while Nick Arbuckle completed 19/35 passes for 176 yards but could never throw one for touchdown; giving away 3 interceptions during his 19/35 attempts.

As for scoring, the Ottawa Redblacks placed 8th overall in the CFL with a 21.1 PPG average during last season, placing them eighth overall and ranking fourth for throwing yards per contest at 260.3, plus running for 1,538 total yards to put up 4686 air yards total and an 85.4 ground game average – this resulted in them ranking 5th. On average, they had 345.8 yards per contest, placing them fifth overall in CFL rankings.

The Redblacks allowed 26.4 points per game and were ranked eighth in the league. Last season they yielded 475 total points to opponents; Ottawa gave up 1,899 yards via ground play (105.5 yards per outing), including 22 touchdowns on that front; they also surrendered 24 touchdowns through air play for 261.4 yards per contest and came eighth overall in scoring average per contest.

Can the Stamps get the run game going?

In their last game against the Lions, the Stampeders suffered defeat with a score of 25-15. Jake Maier completed 20/36 pass attempts for 166 yards with one touchdown completion and one pick-off in total; Ka’Deem Carey led his team on the ground, with seven carries for 39 total yards; DeVontres Dukes led in receiving yardage with 75 on seven receptions.

Calgary Stampeders were impressive point producers last season, averaging 31.2 points per game on an average basis and leading the CFL in terms of run game average (135.3 yards/game). Altogether, Calgary amassed 2,436 yards total while scoring 24 touchdowns via both passes and runs – totalling 2,4436 total yards for 2016.

The Stampeders finished 2nd in the CFL for team defense in 2015, allowing 22.1 points per game (PPG). If the defense shows up they have a shot to be a playoff team in 2023.

Our Betting Pick for Today – Bet the Stampeders -4.5

Neither team is excellent on offense, so I would bet the under. I look for Calgary to get the run game going this week and to take this one on the road.
