Overwhelming pick in this week's FNF game is the Stamps over BC....I've seen no other pick. It's the #2 ranked team vs. the #8 ranked team.

Check out these game notes...

The Stampeders have not lost two games in a row since July 12, 2012, a span of 62 games (Toronto & Montreal Jul 7 & 12).

Stamps at home: BC is one of only two clubs to defeat Calgary at McMahon Stadium in the last 16 Stampeder home games (Winnipeg was the other) and Calgary is 16-2 in that run. In their last 29 home games dating back to Sep 3/12, Calgary is 26-3.

First 28 QB Starts: Calgary is now 23-5 when Bo Levi Mitchell starts at QB after last week’s loss to Edmonton.

Low Carries: Last week’s total of 4 carries for Harris was his lowest total as a starter since a 35-14 loss to Saskatchewan on Oct 19/13 (4 for 29 yards).

Calgary & BC successful challengers: The Stampeders challenged twice last week and were able to overturn both initial calls; the only other club in 2015 to do that was BC on Jul 4/15 vs Ottawa. Last year only three clubs all year went two-for-two.

Last week EDM: Calgary started very slowly last week as Edmonton held them to just 113 first half net yards and 7 first downs. Calgary did not score in the 1st Quarter for the second straight game but bounced back to lead 10-9 at the half. Edmonton forced two late Calgary turnovers however to win 27-16. The 352 passing yards for Mike Reilly was just the second 300+ game posted by an opposing QB this season.

Last week vs OTT: The Lions were beaten by Ottawa for the first time at home since October 6, 1990 and that broke a run of 22-1 vs Ottawa clubs dating back to October 1979. BC was held to just 18:15 of Possession Time and in the 21 seasons since 1995 when data exists for this result, it was the 3rd-lowest ever. That trailed only the record-low 17:46 for Toronto vs Calgary in July 2010.

- The Stampeders have now gone two games scoring just 16 points in each after averaging 31.4 ppg in the previous 7 contests. Over the last 2 games, Calgary has only 2 TD drives and 6 FGs in 33 possessions with 11 punts and 5 turnovers.

- This is an amazing stat....The Lions have now gone three games without a “big play” on offence with their longest rush being just 14 yards (and only two going 10+ yards), and their longest pass being just 29 yards.

- Rene Paredes: Holds the CFL’s longest current FG made streak at 15 in a row and has missed just three times all season (88.9%). Paredes’ longest streak of 2014 was 11 straight made. Prior to the current 15 straight he has now made, he had gone just 20-for-30 dating back to the final 6 games of 2014, a 67% mark.

- Over their first 7 games, the Stamps were a +7 in the Turnover ratio category. Over their last 4 games they have gone -5 with 6 interceptions and 3 fumbles lost.

- BC 2 wins in last 7: The last time that the Lions won only twice in a span of 7 games was to close out the 2014 season. In their last 17 games the Lions W-L record is just 6-11.

- This is the latest date that the Stamps and Lions have had their first meeting of the regular season in 62 years of competition.

Edmonton down by 7. Can't see the Esks beating the Cats today. 

Well, down goes Collaros... Another game, another qb. Shame. 

Honestly it's about time. Austin has kept Collaros in blow out games for so long that it was bound to happen. No this isn't a blowout but... for the record that sucks but... bound to happen

Bad year for QBs in the CFL .. really hurts our game and selling the league as a whole.

His knee buckled similarly to Willy's. He hurt it on the plant before the hit. Looks pretty painful.

Hank, BLM & Harris are the only 3 qbs left. Imagine, Hank is 40... 

Ti Cats will be coming down to Earth with a crash now... 

Hey Ti Cats fans, welcome to Our World. It sucks. 

Telling you... in the not so distant future the teams who have the ability to start 3 or 4 Americans on the oline will be the really good ones.

This happened outside of the pocket but I agree about the Canadian OL. 

At least Collaros left for the locker room on his own two feet.

Collaros done for the game. Said not good. Looked similar to Willys injury. Did willy not walk to the room on his own too.

TSN is acting like Collaros has died. The guy walked to the locker room which I think is a positive thing.

I think he's done for a few weeks for sure.

No, he was in extreme pain & couldn't put any weight on his leg.

And even Harris is the "back up" in TO ..

Still think Collaros is done for a few weeks.

We don't know what the injury is. Walking off is a good sign though. 

Not necessarily. But ya probably not as severe but... still gonna be done for a bit.

Ti Cats lost their starting left tackle & Collaros. Costly game win or lose. 

Not necessarily. But ya probably not as severe but... still gonna be done for a bit.

Let's hope for the best as he is fun to watch. 

Collaros apparently told people it's "not good".

He said it's not good as he left the field. Was a non contact injury knee looked like it buckled as he tried to cut.

Non contact injuries .. no buenos ..

Never seen so many qbs go down in a single season. Teams need 2 players  that can start & play well. Signing Nicholls should be a priority. Having one starter & then a huge drop off in skill at the backup position makes no sense as we found out this season & the Ti Cats are finding out now.
