Game of the Week
Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ Calgary Stampeders – July 30
Will the Blue Bombers ever lose a game?
The back-to-back Grey Cup champions are a flawless 7-0 (5-2 against the spread) this year and are 1.5-point favorites at FanDuel this Saturday when they visit Calgary.
Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson said Tuesday that several players on his squad are battling illnesses and there are at least a few cases of COVID-19. Calgary was initially a 1-point favorite when betting lines opened, but the COVID news moved the line back in favor of Winnipeg.
Winnipeg prevailed 26-19 in the only previous meeting between these two teams back in Week 6, when it handed Calgary its first loss of the season.

Derek Dennis, Jameer Thurman, Ka'Deem Carey, Charlie Moore and Tommy Stevens are all listed as having “illness”.
Dickenson confirmed there was at least one case of pneumonia and several in COVID protocol
