Calgary Stampeders and Saskatchewan Roughriders clash in CFL Week 12, and the question remains: Can the Stampeders curb the Riders' ongoing momentum? Predictions and wagers for the match (August 23rd).

In the highly anticipated CFL Week 12 matchup, the Calgary Stampeders will face off against the Saskatchewan Roughriders tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET, streaming on CFL+. This game marks the fitting finale for Week 12, as both teams look to secure a crucial division win.

The Roughriders, currently leading potential Grey Cup contenders in the Canadian Football League, have a 8-1 record in the West Division, while the Stampeders trail slightly with a 6-3 record. Since the loss to Calgary, the Roughriders have won four consecutive games, including a perfect road record.

Calgary Stampeders QB Vernon Adams Jr. has been a standout player this season, demonstrating impressive performances in multiple games. In the first matchup against the Roughriders in Week 6, Adams completed 28 of 36 passes for a record-breaking 428 yards and three touchdowns. In Week 5, he recorded 13 completions for 222 yards and two touchdowns against Winnipeg. Since starting the season with zero touchdown passes and three interceptions in his first three games, Adams has shown significant improvement, with 11 touchdowns and three interceptions in his last five games.

However, the Roughriders' QB Trevor Harris also had a stellar performance in the first matchup, setting season highs in completions (36), attempts (44), and yards (425). Despite these impressive stats, the Roughriders managed only one touchdown and one field goal.

In tonight's game, Adams will be without the services of Dominique Rhymes and former Rider Tevin Jones. The Stampeders' #1 overall pick, Damien Alford, has had a strong season with 13 catches, 307 yards, and 5 TD, despite missing three games due to a hamstring injury.

The over/under for Alford's receiving yards in tonight's game, according to Bovada, is set at 56.5.

The Roughriders and Stampeders combined for nearly 1,000 yards of total offense in their first matchup, making tonight's game an exciting prospect for CFL fans. A win for the Stampeders in the rematch will give them a season sweep and the tiebreaker advantage for the division title if the two teams end up tied.
