The Stampeders will be looking for a 13th straight regular-season win at McMahon Stadium on Saturday as they face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

The Red and White (3-1-1) extended their home winning streak to 12 games with a 27-10 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 5. Meanwhile, the Ticats fell to 0-4 with a 31-28 loss last week to the Edmonton Eskimos at Hamilton’s Tim Hortons Field.

The Stamps haven’t lost at home to the Ticats since the 2004 season, a run of 12 straight victories, and overall Calgary has won 10 straight regular-season meetings against Hamilton since a loss in the 2011 Touchdown Atlantic game.
