The Calgary Stampeders (3-5) are set to face the BC Lions (6-2) in Week 10 of the CFL season, with both teams looking to solidify their standing in the West Division. After a morale-boosting victory against the Argonauts last weekend, the Stampeders will be aiming to continue their momentum, while the Lions will look to bounce back from a heavy defeat against the Blue Bombers.
Calgary Stampeders (3-5)
The Calgary Stampeders are coming into Week 10 with renewed energy after a surprising victory against the previously undefeated Toronto Argonauts. Their 20-7 triumph was fueled by the running game, as Dedrick Mills stormed through Toronto’s defense for 137 yards. With a 2-2 road record this season and a seven-game winning streak at BC Place, the Stampeders are aiming to build momentum.
BC Lions (6-2)
The BC Lions, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back after a crushing 50-14 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. With a week off and Vernon Adams Jr‘s expected return, the Lions are primed to defend their perfect 3-0 home record. A potent offense led by Adams and a defense eager to redeem itself will be the keys to success for BC.
Head-to-Head
This matchup marks the second of three meetings between these teams. The Lions secured a 25-15 victory in the season opener, but Calgary’s consistent success at BC Place paints an interesting backdrop. The Stampeders will need to leverage their historical advantage while overcoming their 1-3 record against the West Division.
