B.C. isn't counting on a slow start by the Stampeders, but the Lions are ready if it happens.

"It's hard for a team to sit for as long as they did," Lions receiver Bryan Burnham said. "Obviously it helps them get rested up and heal some injuries, but at the same time you're not out there playing football.

"It would be nice to jump on them quick, but it's Calgary in Calgary. We know they're going to be ready."

Sunday's forecast is promising for a Nov. 20 with a high of four degrees and mostly sunny. The Stampeders said ticket sales had reached 31,000 on Friday.
