The Saskatchewan Roughriders are set to maintain their undefeated streak as they host the Calgary Stampeders this Friday at Mosaic Stadium in Regina.
The Roughriders, holding a record of 4-0 after a bye week, aim to replicate their franchise’s strong start from 2013 when they finished with 11 wins while clinching the Grey Cup. Last year’s 4-0 kickoff was cut short with a loss to the BC Lions in Week 5 by a score of 35-20.
Starting quarterback Trevor Harris, who has been cleared from a concussion protocol, returns for the Roughriders. He has successfully completed 58 of 80 passes this season, accruing 806 yards alongside five touchdowns and three interceptions.
This Friday’s match will showcase the top offensive unit in Saskatchewan, averaging 29.3 points per game against Calgary’s formidable defense, allowing just 20.3 points per game. The Stampeders recently demonstrated their strength by limiting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to 16 points in last week’s solid 37-16 victory.
The Roughriders are favored by 5.5 points with an anticipated total of 53.5 points for the game.
Saturday features the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, currently at 2-2, who seek their third consecutive victory versus the Ottawa Redblacks at 1-4. The Tiger-Cats, enjoying a scoring surge with a total of 86 points from the last two games, have historically fared well against Ottawa, winning 11 of the last 13 encounters.
On Sunday, the BC Lions (2-3) face the Edmonton Elks (1-3), with BC having previously triumphed 31-14 during their season opener.
