Lions versus Stampeders CFL Week 16 Prognostication and Picks: Could Adams Aviate Against His Previous Team at Home?
The Canadian Football League (CFL) is gearing up for an exciting matchup this week, as the BC Lions take on the Calgary Stampeders. The game, set for 9:30 p.m. ET, promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to secure a crucial victory.
The Stampeders (8-4) are coming off a loss in their last game against the Edmonton Elks, and will be looking to bounce back at home. The over on Calgary's team total is an easy choice for this game, given their strong offensive performance this season.
The Stampeders will start the game with quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who was traded to the team after the season ended last November. Adams Jr. has a bet of over 280.5 passing yards at Bovada, and his performance against his former team may provide extra motivation. However, he was injured during the third quarter of their last game and was replaced by backup P.J. Walker. Walker himself appeared to injure his arm in the game, leading to third-string quarterback Quincy Vaughn entering the fray.
Jalen Philpot, a wide receiver for the Stampeders, also has a bet of over 54.5 receiving yards at Lucky Rebel. Philpot had a quiet game in Week 14, with just one catch for three yards, but he may surpass the 100-yard mark for the second time this season in this matchup.
The BC Lions (6-7) secured a win against the Ottawa Redblacks last week, with a score of 38-27. They are currently tied for third in the West Division and are on a three-game homestand after this week. The Lions have given up an average of 32.7 points per game on the road this season, which could bode well for the Stampeders' offense.
The BC Lions vs. Calgary Stampeders matchup is an intriguing underdog story, with the Lions being the underdogs in this game. U.S. viewers can tune in for free on CFL+.
