The red-hot Calgary Stampeders head to Princess Auto Stadium on Friday night to take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Calgary upset Winnipeg two weeks ago, but my Stampeders vs. Blue Bombers predictions are betting on the home side to get revenge.
Here are my best free CFL picks for this Week 7 clash on July 18.
Stampeders vs Blue Bombers prediction
My Stampeders vs Blue Bombers pick: Blue Bombers -3 (-110 at BET99)
The Calgary Stampeders have surged to the top of the CFL power ratings with a 4-1 record after beating the previously undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders 24-10 as 6.5-point underdogs last week at Mosaic Stadium.
However, this could be a letdown spot for the Stamps, who are facing a Winnipeg Blue Bombers squad fresh off a bye. The Bombers are playing at home, where they've gone an incredible 43-6 straight up and 34-15 against the spread since 2019.
This is also a revenge spot for Winnipeg, which had a perfect 3-0 record before losing at McMahon Stadium in Week 5. Winnipeg outgained Calgary 408-334 in that contest and had a 29-16 edge in first downs with four more minutes of possession.
However, the Bombers lost the turnover battle and had a pair of interceptions returned for touchdowns, which turned the tide in Calgary's favor. This Winnipeg squad is simply too experienced and well-coached to put together another sloppy performance like that.
Expect a bounce-back performance from two-time CFL MOP Zach Collaros and back him to lead Winnipeg to a win and cover here.
Stampeders vs Blue Bombers same-game parlay (SGP)
Blue Bombers -3
Under 50
The Bombers allowed 37 points to Calgary in Week 5, but that was largely due to uncharacteristic turnovers. Winnipeg has allowed the second-fewest offensive touchdowns in the CFL (8) while also ranking second in opponent pass efficiency (86.3).
The Stamps are the only team in the league to allow fewer offensive touchdowns than the Bombers (5). Their defense also leads the CFL in points per game allowed (18.2), yards allowed per pass attempt (6.88), and big plays allowed (7)
In addition, Calgary's WR corps is decimated by injuries, while Winnipeg will likely be missing stud wideout Dalton Schoen and All-Star LT Stanley Bryant.
