CFL Standings
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are looking to end their regular season on a high as they face the third-seeded in the CFL standings Calgary Stampeders for the second week in a row! The Stampeders vs Roughriders betting analysis is down below.
Last game records
These two teams faced off against each other last week on the CFL schedule. The visiting stampeders trampled over the Roughriders 32-21.
As a result of this loss, the Roughriders’ hopes of playing in the playoffs were over!
Both rosters will likely be drastically different as they will not want their players getting hurt before the offseason or playoffs, in Calgary’s case. No two back-to-back games are the same, and this holds true in this matchup.
Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Calgary Stampeders Betting Analysis
Saskatchewan Roughriders Analysis
It stands to reason that the Riders have some major issues to address this off-season. With an injury-prone depth chart and their star quarterback leaving, who knows what the break will bring for them.
A lot of players have something they need to prove this week. After last week’s loss, many people’s jobs are on the line.
The Roughriders benched star quarterback Cody Fajardo for Mason Fine in their last matchup. It ended up being ok, as he had a fine outing. He threw just under 200 yards and one touchdown.
A big performance will be in order if he wants to keep the starting job.
Riders’ Run Defense
The Riders’ run defense was nowhere to be seen. They allowed over 200 yards on the ground and two scores.
For, what was a feared front seven, that is a truly unexpected outcome for them. It kind of makes you wonder if they have to reconstruct this whole unit.
In terms of the Stampeders vs Roughriders betting analysis, they will likely play a better quality of players.
The Stamps will be resting for the playoffs, and the Riders need this for reassurance. This team has great pieces, and it’s disappointing that they could not put it together.
Calgary Stampeders Analysis
The Stampeders have just clicked all year. With the roster turnaround, winning remains consistent and constant.
Last week, they played a solid game against the Riders, but it seems tough to imagine many of those players playing as they have a playoff date in British Columbia next week.
The ground game for the Stampeders has been excellent all year. Last week, Ka’Deem Carey rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on top of Dedrick Mills rushing for 103 yards and one touchdown.
The rush attack has been unreal!
A Solid Performance
The defense had a solid performance. The secondary allowed under 200 yards and only one touchdown, which was good.
The run defense was elite, as they allowed under 75 total rush yards without allowing a score. They truly are a big wrecking crew.
In terms of Stampeders vs Roughriders betting analysis, the Stamps could play an amazing game with their starters in.
They have been able to dominate all year around. However, does this mean they’ll actually play? No. Does this mean they’ll lose? That remains to be seen.
