Lions VS Stampeders Best Bets

Moneyline Pick: Calgary Stampeders

Arguably the best team in the CFL a season ago, look for the Calgary Stampeders to make a statement in the opening tilt of the 2023 season, taking the win against the BC Lions. With much of their league-leading offence from last year returning to the team, the Stampeders offence is sure to be potent once again.

Led by quarterback Jake Maier, look for the Stampeders to push the pace against the Lions, using their high-octane offence to take deep shots downfield early and often in tonight’s matchup. The Stampeders excel at moving the ball both through the air as well as using their exceptional running game to produce chunk plays in bulk.

Back the favoured Stampeders to defend home turf, capturing the win in their season opener, and cashing you a winning bet slip with this moneyline pick.

Point Spread Pick: BC Lions (+3.5)

While the Stampeders appear poised to take the win, don’t expect to see the Lions far behind on the scoreboard. Having picked up three wins in the four games played against the Stampeders last season including in the West Division semi-finals of the Grey Cup playoffs, the BC Lions may have the blueprint for besting their opponents.

Able to match their offensive production punch-for-punch, the Lions will have no trouble going toe-to-toe offensively with the Stampeders. With a mental edge also looming over the heads of their opposition, look for the Lions to have no trouble staying within striking distance of the Stampeders from start to finish.

Back the Lions to cover the spread to score you some bread on the first game of the 2023 CFL season and secure yourself an easy win while enjoying the nonstop action of the CFL.

Over/Under Pick: Over 51 Points

In a clash between the two of the top three scoring teams in the CFL season a year ago, expect to see points come in bunches as a heavyweight slugfest breaks out during the Lions VS Stampeders.

Both sides can score with ease when in possession of the ball, able to find the weak spots in the defence and make them pay accordingly. Last season these teams combined for Over 51 points in two of their three head-to-head matchups during the regular season.

Watch as this trend continues into this season as the Lions and Stampeders fill up the box score, resulting in Over 51 combined points during the 2023 CFL season opener.
