The Calgary Stampeders had their four-game winning streak snapped in Regina last week, losing 37-34 in a hard-fought battle with their division rivals, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The loss left the two teams tied atop the Western Division with identical 9-5 records (along with B.C.) and set up a huge clash between them on Oct. 13 to decide the tie-breaker, should they end the season tied in the standings. The Riders lead the season series with two wins (22-21 in Calgary in Week 6 and again last week) compared to one for the Stamps (30-25 in Week 7 in Regina). The Stamps, however lead the point differential by one point (85-84) meaning whoever wins this game will win the series.
