Calgary Stampeders Preview
Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. has thrown for 3,189 yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. His main targets are Dominique Rhymes (711 yards, 4 TDs) and Jalen Philpot (607 yards, 2 TDs), with Erik Brooks, Tevin Jones, and Clark Barnes all with over 470 receiving yards. Calgary’s offense also relies on running back Dedrick Mills, who has rushed for 1,035 yards and 8 touchdowns, giving the Stampeders steady production on the ground.
Calgary’s strength is in its balance - Mills can pick up yards between the tackles while Adams looks downfield to Rhymes or Philpot. Mistakes in the passing game have stalled some drives, but when the Stampeders keep turnovers down, they can score with any team in the league.
BC Lions Preview
Quarterback Nathan Rourke has been one of the top passers in the league, throwing for 4,170 yards with 23 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Rourke’s leading receivers are Keon Hatcher (1,404 yards, 5 TDs) and Justin McInnis (1,054 yards, 6 TDs). Ayden Eberhardt and Stanley Berryhill have combined for over 1,300 yards receiving. On the ground, James Butler has 1,061 rushing yards and 10 scores, giving BC a dependable back to complement the passing attack.

The Lions are tough to stop when Rourke is accurate and Butler keeps drives moving. The receivers stretch the field, and long gains often set up quick points. At home, that combination makes them hard to slow down for four quarters.
Calgary Stampeders vs BC Lions Prediction
Calgary can compete if Mills controls the tempo and Adams avoids turnovers, but BC’s firepower at receiver and Rourke’s accuracy passing give them the advantage. The Lions will create more scoring chances and finish with more touchdowns, while Calgary will settle for more field goals. Final Score Prediction: BC Lions win and cover ATS 35-27
