The Calgary Stampeders will conclude the home portion of their 2018 regular-season schedule with a matchup against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Calgary, currently at 12-3, has secured a home playoff game and can wrap up first place in the West Division with a win or tie against the 10-6 Riders.

Week 18 saw both teams come out on the losing end. The BC Lions handed the Stamps their first loss of the season at McMahon Stadium, a 26-21 setback. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan was shut out 31-0 on the road in Winnipeg.

The Roughriders are the only squad yet to visit Calgary this year. These two teams played both of their previous meetings in Regina as the Stampeders took the first contest 34-22 before the Riders responded 22 days later with a 40-27 victory.

A 7-1 home record for the Red and White is the best in the CFL while Saskatchewan is 5-3 as the visitor.

Defensive lineman Micah Johnson of the Stamps sits second in the league with 11 sacks, trailing only Charleston Hughes who has recorded 15 quarterback drops with the Roughriders.
