The Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers will battle it out this afternoon to determine which side will maintain their lengthy winning streak.

Calgary has strung together nine consecutive victories while the Blue Bombers have rallied for seven straight wins following a 1-4 start to the season. The Stamps, factoring in their tie on July 8, are unbeaten in 11 games since their season-opener.

Never before in the history of Canadian professional football have two teams met in the regular season with winning streaks of at least seven games.

This weekend will mark the third and final showdown between these two opponents after Calgary claimed both prior meetings.

The Stampeders are a league-best 8-1 in divisional play while Winnipeg is 3-3 against Western foes.
