The cream of the crop in the CFL keeps rising to the top as the regular season rolls into Week 12.
Looking back at last weekend’s results, British Columbia got things started by grinding-out a 7-5 win over Ottawa on Friday night as an eight-point road favorite. The total obviously stayed UNDER the 47-point closing line. On Saturday, Calgary improved its position atop the West Division with a 41-34 victory against Edmonton as a three-point favorite on the road. The total in this contest easily went OVER a closing line of 48½ points.
Sunday’s double-header started with Montreal getting past Hamilton 38-31 as a slight 1 ½-point home underdog with the total going OVER the 46-point line. Saskatchewan held off Winnipeg on the road 30-24 as a 2½-point favorite in the second game. The total went OVER a closing line of 50½ points.
Friday, Sept. 12
Montreal (3-7 SU, 4-6 ATS) at Edmonton (7-3 SU, 5-5 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -9
Total: 48½
Game Overview
It has been a rough season for Montreal with injuries and turnover at the quarterback position and some pretty spotty play on defense at times, but in a very weak East Division title race, it is currently tied with Toronto for first place with two wins both straight-up and against the spread in its last two games.
The Eskimos have lost their last two games SU and ATS to fall two games off the pace in the West, but they remain one of the best balanced teams in the CFL with an offense that is averaging 26.1 points per game complementing a defense that is holding teams to 21.1 PPG. Edmonton slotback Adarius Bowman continues to lead the league in receiving yards with 866.
Betting Trends
Montreal has covered ATS in seven of the last nine meetings and the total has gone OVER in the last four meetings in Edmonton. The Eskimos won the first meeting this season 33-23 in early August as 5½-point road favorites and the total went OVER the closing 46½-point line.
Saturday, Sept. 13
Toronto (3-7 SU, 4-6 ATS) at Calgary (9-1 SU, 8-2 ATS)
Point-spread: OFF
Total: OFF
Game Overview
Toronto comes off its bye week looking to snap a three-game skid in which it went 1-2 ATS as an underdog. The one bright spot for the Argonauts has been the play of Ricky Ray at quarterback with 2,584 passing yards and a league-high 16 touchdown throws, be he has not been able to keep pace with a defense that is allowing 26.2 PPG.
The Stampeders are charging their way towards the Grey Cup Playoffs with the best record in the league and they come into this matchup riding a five-game winning streak both SU and ATS. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell has been one of the biggest surprises this season with the top passer rating in the league (100.5)
Betting Trends
Toronto holds a 7-2 edge ATS in the last nine meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in the last seven meetings in Calgary. The Stampeders rolled to a 34-15 victory early in the season as 2½-point favorites on the road. The total stayed UNDER the 55-point line.
Winnipeg (6-5 SU, 7-4 ATS) at British Columbia (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -7½
Total: 50½
Game Overview
The Blue Bombers had their chances in the back-end of Sunday’s home-and-home series against Saskatchewan with Drew Willy throwing for 360 yards and two touchdowns, but he was also picked-off twice. He currently leads the CFL in total passing yards (2,889), but he only has one more touchdown throw (12) than interceptions (11).
BC got Travis Lulay back in the lineup as its starting quarterback against the RedBlacks, but his return looks to be short-lived after leaving the game with another shoulder injury. Kevin Glenn did an admirable job at times in his absence, but this could be a big setback for the Lions in their stretch run to the playoffs.
Betting Trends
The Blue Bombers come into this West Division showdown with a 6-2-1 ATS record in the last nine meetings at BC Place and they have a profitable 7-3 mark ATS in the last 10 meetings overall. The total has stayed UNDER in 10 of the last 11 matchups played in BC.
Sunday, Sept. 14
Saskatchewan (8-2 SU, 6-4 ATS) at Hamilton (2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS)
Point-spread: Pick 'em
Total: Off
Game Overview
The defending 2013 Grey Cup Champs have built up a head of steam as the regular season wears on with a seven-straight wins (5-2 ATS). The bad news for this contest could be the availability of quarterback Darian Durant, who left Sunday’s game against Winnipeg with elbow injury. He has been ruled out for Sunday’s game and his status for the remainder of the year does not look good.
Hamilton is in desperate need of a win after posting just one SU victory in its last five games. The Tiger-Cats have failed to cover in all five contests. The 31 points that they did put up in last week’s loss was the most this team scored since a late July win over Ottawa. Zach Collaros threw for 338 yards and two touchdowns while completing 30-of 43 attempts against the Alouettes.
Betting Trends
These two team met on opening day with Saskatchewan cruising to a 31-10 victory as a 3½-point home favorite. It is now 6-1 both SU and ATS in the last seven meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in three of the last four games.
