SURREY, B.C. — Consistency has been hard to come by for the B.C. Lions this season.
After starting the campaign with a 5-1 record, the Lions have struggled through the middle of the season as their offence stalled and injuries plagued their defensive corps.
While the Leos are looking to secure a playoff spot, the Stamps need a victory to prevent being eliminated from post-season contention. B.C.'s magic formula requires a win over the Stamps on Friday, the Ticats losing to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers the same night, and the Edmonton Elks dropping their Saturday game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Calgary, meanwhile, heads to Vancouver on a six-game winless skid . The Stampeders have not gone winless in seven straight since 1977. The Lions and Stampeders have already met twice this season, and Friday's matchup could be the tiebreaker in the season series. B.C. drew first blood with a 26-17 victory on June 15, but Calgary edged the visitors 25-24 on July 21.
