BC comes into this matchup on a four game winning streak and they have scored 30+ points in four of their last five games. The Lions can clinch a home playoff game with a win here. Calgary has won three of their last four games, but they have allowed 31+ points in five straight. The Stampeders have a great offense, but their defense is second worst in the CFL. I think we will see plenty of points in this one, so I like the over here.
