The set-up: Ottawa upset Calgary in last year's Grey Cup final, 39-33 in OT, as nine-point underdogs. The two teams met last Friday in Ottawa and the game ended in a 31-31 tie. I guess that's not too surprising as the teams also tied in one of their two regular season meetings last year as well, 256-26 in Week 3. They trre back at each other again tonight, this time in Calgary. Both QBs threw for 300 yards last Friday, as Ottawa's Harris threw for exactly 300 yards (3 TDs and 1 INT) and Calgary's Mitchell passed for 376 yards (2 TDs & 0 INTs). Bo Levi Mitchell is the more dangerous QB, as he now has 34 TD passes in his last 18 games. Obviously, both teams allowed 31 points last week, with Calgary allowing 416 yards and Ottawa 441.

The pick: This is a quick "re-hook" and it's hard to ignore the fact that the Stampeders went 9-0 at home in 2016 and haven't lost a home game since October of 2015. In fact, these last five seasons, Calgary is a dominating 39-6 SU on its home field. However, let's not ignore that the RedBlacks are an impressive 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games. Past matchups would favor a high-scoring contest but I believe the respective defenses will be a little bit more settled after a game under their belts and will make the Under an 8* play.
