The linesmaker doesn't have time to put much emphasis into Canadian Football League lines. If he did he would realize this total opened too short. Perhaps it's accurate in reflecting scores of past games. But it's not fully taking into account where these two team's offenses are now.

Saskatchewan has been held to an average of 18 points in its last two games after scoring 31 and 30 points during its previous two games. However, the Roughriders get key reinforcements here in wide receivers Shaq Evans and Duke Williams. Evans has played only two games and Williams will be making his Roughriders debut. This is a huge boost for QB Cody Fajardo.

Calgary has picked up its offense this month, averaging 28 points in three October games. The Stampeders get a key playmaker back, too, in wide receiver Kamar Jordan. That gives QB Bo Levi Mitchell another target to go with Josh Huff and Markeith Ambles.

Saskatchewan is giving up an average of 26.6 points in three road games.
