The under trend continues north of the border

While everyone starts to turn their focus on college football and the NFL, there is still some interesting totals trends going on north of the border.

Week 11 came to a close in the CFL with teams going 1-3 over/under, a trend that has been going strong all season. The under is now 27-13 this season, hitting almost 68 percent of the time

CFL Betting Notes - Week 11

September 2, 2014

The Labor Day Weekend featured four division matchups in the CFL starting last Friday with Montreal doubling-up Ottawa 20-10 as a 4 ½-point home favorite. The total stayed UNDER the 45 ½-point closing line. Sunday’s action featured Game 1 of a home-and-home series between Winnipeg and Saskatchewan with the Roughriders carving-out the early edge in a thrilling 35-30 shootout as 7 ½-point home favorite. The total went OVER the 48 ½-point line.

Monday’s holiday double-header started off with Hamilton squeezing past Toronto 13-12 as three-point home favorite with the total staying well UNDER the 52-point line. Calgary got the early edge in its home-and-home series against Edmonton with a 28-13 victory as a 4 ½-point favorite at home. The total stayed UNDER the 49 ½-point closing line.

Friday, Sept. 5

British Columbia (5-4 SU, 5-4 ATS) at Ottawa (1-8 SU, 2-7 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -8 ½
Total: 48 ½

Game Overview

British Columbia went into last week’s bye with a 3-1 record both SU and ATS in its last four games. Kevin Glenn has taken the bulk of the snaps at quarterback this season and he is actually ranked fourth in the CFL in total passing yards, but look for the possible return of Travis Lulay, who has finally been cleared to play.

The expectation level for expansion teams is usually set pretty low and Ottawa has followed suit with just one SU win in its first nine games in the league. The RedBacks’ offense is ranked dead-last in the CFL in scoring with an average of 15.1 points per game, while their defense is allowing 27.9 points to their opponents.

Betting Trends

The Lions are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a losing record and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five road games. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of their first nine games this year. The RedBlacks are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record.

Saturday, Sept. 6

Calgary (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS) at Edmonton (7-2 SU, 5-4 ATS)
Point-spread: PICK
Total: 50 ½

Game Overview

Calgary’s win last week has it leading the way in the West. It has the best SU record in the CFL and it is has covered in its last four games. The fact that the Stampeders’ defense leads the CFL in points allowed (14.9) has gone a long way at keeping the total UNDER in seven of their first nine games this season.

Edmonton quarterback Matt Nichols got the start in Game 1 of this series for Mike Reilly and completed 18-of-30 attempts for 203 yards, but the Eskimos still had a hard time finding the end zone. What has really led Edmonton to its impressive first half record is a defense that is holding teams to just 18.9 PPG.

Betting Trends

Calgary has now won both meetings this season SU to extend its winning streak in this series to five games. The Stampeders are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings which includes a perfect 5-0 mark ATS when playing in Edmonton. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings at Commonwealth Stadium.

Sunday, Sept. 7

Hamilton (2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) at Montreal (2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS)
Point-spread: PICK
Total: 45 ½

Game Overview

Hamilton closed the gap for the lead in the East to just one game with last week’s SU win, but it comes into this matchup with a 0-4 mark ATS in its last four games after starting the season 3-1 ATS. Quarterback Zach Collaros returned to the starting lineup against Toronto and threw for 317 yards while completing 71 percent of his 38 attempts.

The Alouettes scored 20 points or more for just the fourth time in their first nine games. Jonathan Crompton was behind center in that game and he completed 15-of-25 attempts for 245 yards. Brandon Whitaker rushed for 100 yards and Duron Carter caught five passes for 127 yards in the winning cause.

Betting Trends

This will be the first meeting this season, but the home team in this matchup has won the last seven meetings SU with Montreal covering the spread in the last four. The total has stayed UNDER in five of the last six meetings in Montreal.

Saskatchewan (7-2 SU, 5-4 ATS) at Winnipeg (6-4 SU, 7-3 ATS)
Point-spread: Saskatchewan -3
Total: 51

Game Overview

The Roughriders victory this past Sunday was their sixth straight since a 1-2 SU start and they have now scored 35 point or more in three of those games. Darian Durant is still having consistency issues throwing the ball with a completion rate of 53.8 percent in last week’s win, but did a great job of spreading the ball around with sixth different players posting at least one catch.

Winnipeg faces its first must-win test of the season to keep pace in the West Division title race. The Blue Bombers have now lost three of their last four games SU with a 2-2 record ATS. Defense has been a bit suspect lately after allowing an average of 32 points in those three setbacks.

Betting Trends

Saskatchewan has won both meetings this season SU and it is now 7-1 SU in the last eight meetings. It is 5-3 ATS over the same stretch of games and while the total went OVER last week, it has actually stayed UNDER in three of the previous four meetings.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 10

September 2, 2014

League Betting Notes

-- Favorites went 4-0 straight up in Week 10
-- Favorites/underdogs went 2-2 ATS in Week 10
-- Home posted a 4-0 SU record in Week 10
-- Home/road teams posted a 2-2 ATS record in Week 10
-- The 'under' went 3-1 in Week 10

Team Betting Notes

-- For the second consecutive week, the 'under' went 3-1. Over the past three weeks the 'under' is 10-3.

-- Hamilton (2-6) snapped a three-game losing streak with a narrow 13-12 home win against Toronto (3-7). Somehow, some way, the TiCats find themselves in a tie for first place in the East. However, they're 0-4 ATS over their past four games.

-- Montreal (2-7) snapped a six-game losing streak with by doubling up Ottawa (1-8), 20-10. The Alouettes are 2-1 ATS over the past three games. Better yet, for bettors, the 'under' is 3-0 over the past three, 5-1 over the past six, and 7-2 overall this season.

-- Edmonton (7-2) didn't get the memo that their Week 10 game against provincial rival Calgary (8-1) was supposed to be a good game. The Esks were smoked by the Stamps, 28-13. Edmonton will get their chance at revenge Saturday at home in the second end of the home-and-home.

-- So far this season, the Stamps are 2-0 SU/ATS against the Esks. Saturday's game will be the third and final meeting of the regular season.

-- Winnipeg (6-4) slipped further off the pace out west, losing it fourth in five games. However, the Blue Bombers have covered back-to-back games. They'll look for better results at home in the second end of the home-and-home Sunday.

-- The Blue Bombers are 0-2 SU and 1-1 ATS this season against Saskatchewan (7-2), who has now won six straight games.

Week 11


Ti-Cats struggle ATS versus lowly Alouettes

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, currently sitting second in the weak East Division with a 2-6 record (3-5 against the spread), are 1-point road faves at the equally-inept Montreal Alouettes (2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS) but are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings.

Ti-Cats backers have been left frustrated of late as the team has failed to cover the spread in four-straight games heading into Sunday's meeting with the Als.

Most shops have opened the as a pick, with the Cats -1 as of Saturday evening.

Team Betting Notes

-- The 'over' finally dominated for the first time in four weeks. The 'under' was 10-3 in the past three weeks entering Week 11.

-- Calgary (9-1) continues to crush the competition, including their provincial rivals from Edmonton (7-3). The Stampeders won 31-24 on the road against the Eskimos. Calgary has won five straight games and covered each contest.

-- Ottawa (1-9) lost for the seventh consecutive game Friday against the BC Lions (6-4), but don't blame the RedBlacks' defense. They allowed just seven points, and have given up just 17.3 ppg over the past four losses, all 'unders'.

-- Montreal (3-7) pulled into a tie for first place in the disappointing East Division with idle Toronto (3-7). The Alouettes have won back-to-back games for the first time this season.

-- The 'under' had cashed in five of the past six for Montreal, but the 'over' came through against Hamilton (2-7) Sunday.

-- Saskatchewan (8-2) has rattled off seven straight wins since starting the season 1-2 SU. The Roughriders swept the home-and-home with Winnipeg (6-5).

-- The Blue Bombers started the season 5-1, but they have dropped four of the past five to fall into last place out West.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 12

September 9, 2014

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 48 ½ 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 2 ½-point favorite in the second game. The total went OVER a closing line of 50 ½ points.

Friday, Sept. 12

Montreal (3-7 SU, 4-6 ATS) at Edmonton (7-3 SU, 5-5 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -9
Total: 48 ½

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 5 ½-point road favorites and the total went OVER the closing 46 ½-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 2 ½-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 - 7 ½
Total: 50 ½

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 3 ½-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.
