The Calgary Stampeders play their final away game of the 2017 regular season as they travel north to face the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. Kickoff at Commonwealth Stadium is 5 p.m.

Calgary is coming off a 30-7 defeat against the Saskatchewan Roughriders and will be trying to avoid their first back-to-back losses since the 2012 season. The Stamps have already clinched first place in the West Division.

The Eskimos (10-6) sit in third place in the West after a 35-29 overtime victory at BC on Saturday. Edmonton has locked up a playoff berth and could still finish anywhere from second to fourth in the division.

This is the third regular-season meeting of 2017 between the Battle of Alberta adversaries, with Calgary holding a 2-0 edge in the season series to date. The Stamps won the Labour Day Classic 39-18 at McMahon Stadium and then five days later won the rematch at Commonwealth by a score of 25-22.

The Red and White are 6-1-1 on the road this season and 7-1 against the West. The Eskimos are 5-3 at home and 3-5 against divisional opponents.
