Ottawa Redblacks Game Notes
The Redblacks moved to 5-2-1 on the season after a tie with the Roughriders last Thursday night. Jeremiah Masoli will be making the start for Ottawa in week 11, after Dru Brown left the contest on August 8th with a leg injury. There is no exact time table for Brown as he listed as week-to-week to return.
Calgary Stampeders Game Notes
Calgary dropped to 4-5 after a 14-point loss against the Argonauts on August 9th. Jake Maier threw for 373 yards and a touchdown. The Stampeders will look to get back in the win column as they host Ottawa.
Redblacks vs. Stampeders BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Stampeders. I know Masoli has a lot of experience in the CFL, however this a tough ask to go into Calgary and play well. Calgary has been much better at home this season and Maier has had a very nice season. Ottawa may hang around in the 1st, however I just don’t think there will be enough offensively for Ottawa to cover this spread. Lay it with Calgary they bounce back.
Redblacks vs. Stampeders Prediction: Stampeders -3.5
