For the third time this season, the Calgary Stampeders go toe-to-toe with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, this time with second place in the West Division on the line.
The Stamps (5-5) were victorious in their previous two dates with the Riders (5-4) earlier this month, winning 23-17 at McMahon Stadium and 22-19 at Mosaic Stadium in consecutive weeks.
Running back Ka’Deem Carey averaged six yards per carry over the pair of clashes and Hergy Mayala reeled in a team-high eight receptions.
Last Saturday in Vancouver, Calgary scored a touchdown on offence, defence and special teams en route to a 39-10 decision for their third straight win. Jonathan Moxey had a 53-yard pick-six and Roc Thomas ran a kickoff back 101 yards while nine different Stamps recorded a catch.
Saskatchewan are facing the Red and White for a third straight time as their Week 11 bye followed their two straight defeats to the Stampeders.
Rene Paredes of Calgary and Brett Lauther of Saskatchewan are the top two league scorers to date. Paredes, coming off performer-of-the-week recognition, has accounted for 120 points while Lauther has been responsible for 97 of his own.
The Stampeders have played five home games thus far – scoring an even 100 points – and the Roughriders have mustered 57 points in five games on the road.
Both teams will travel east for their next matchups as Calgary will make a trip to Ottawa and Saskatchewan will visit Montreal.
