Game of the day: Eskimos at Alouettes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rakeem Cato threw for 303 yards and a touchdown, but also had two interceptions, including a pick in Ottawa's end zone in the third quarter of Friday's loss.

Edmonton Eskimos at Montreal Alouettes (PK, 44.5)

The Edmonton Eskimos look to bounce back from a disappointing Week 7 loss when they travel to Montreal to face the Alouettes on Thursday. The Eskimos let one slip away as they blew a 13-point lead in the 26-23 setback to the BC Lions and missed a golden opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the West Division.

Edmonton swept the season series against the Alouettes in 2014, including a 33-23 victory at Molson Stadium, but have dropped six of the last seven meetings in Montreal. The Alouettes are in danger of falling out of contention in the East Division following a 26-23 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks. Montreal defensive end Michael Sam made his much-anticipated debut but it was largely uneventful as the CFL's first openly gay player failed to record a tackle, and the Alouettes fell four points behind the rest of the pack. "This team is going through some adversity right now," Sam told reporters. "Hopefully we put this game aside and focus on Edmonton."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS, ESPN2

LINE HISTORY: This game opened as a Pick and the total opened at 45 but has been moved to 44.5.

INJURY REPORT: Eskimos - RB Shakir Bell (Probable, concussion).

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS, 2-4 O/U): Quarterback Mike Reilly returned to the practice field in a limited role for the first time since injuring his knee in the season-opening loss to the Toronto Argonauts. "He's still a ways away, but when he's completely healthy we'll put him back out there," Edmonton coach Chris Jones told reporters. "He's got distinct cadence so it was good to have him back." Adarius Bowman, who leads the team with 400 receiving yards, sat out the second half with a lower-body injury against the Lions and is questionable for Thursday.

ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (2-4 SU, 4-2 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Rakeem Cato threw for 303 yards and a touchdown, but also had two interceptions, including a pick in Ottawa's end zone in the third quarter. Montreal released kicker Sean Whyte, who lost his starting job to Boris Bede; linebacker Bryn Roy; and wide receiver Dobson Collins, whose fumble proved costly in the loss to the Calgary Stampeders in Week 6. S.J. Green had five receptions for 66 yards to go over the 6,000-yard mark for his career and currently leads the league with 539 receiving yards this season.

TRENDS:

* Over is 6-0-1 in the last seven meetings.
* Eskimos are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
* Eskimos are 2-5 ATS in their last seven Thursday games.
* Alouettes are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-four percent of users are backing the Alouettes.

Game of the day: Argonauts at Blue Bombers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Argonauts have scored a touchdown on 12 of their 17 trips to the red zone this season (71 percent) the highest percentage in the CFL.

Toronto Argonauts at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (+6, 48.5)

Winnipeg begins life without quarterback Drew Willy when it hosts the Toronto Argonauts on Friday, and Blue Bombers coach Mike O'Shea isn't saying who will be his replacement. Willy is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks after suffering a tibial plateau fracture and partial PCL tear in Winnipeg's 38-8 loss in Hamilton on Sunday - its third setback in the last four games, leaving Brian Brohm or Robert Marve to keep the Blue Bombers afloat until Willy returns.

Brohm hasn't recorded a touchdown pass while throwing five interceptions in 121 attempts covering two seasons, while Marve has thrown 29 passes in two years. Winnipeg also will be without running back Paris Cotton (team-best 268 yards) and slotback Darvin Adams (team-leading 360 receiving yards), who suffered a broken arm and an upper-body injury, respectively, against Hamilton. Toronto has won three of its last four contests and sits in a three-way tie for first place in the East Division following a come-from-behind 30-26 victory over Saskatchewan on Saturday. A big reason for the Argonauts' success has been the play of backup quarterback Trevor Harris, who leads the CFL in all major passing categories but could be back on the bench soon with Ricky Ray's return from offseason shoulder surgery looming.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN3

LINE HISTORY: The lines have yet to shift since opening at WPG +6, 48.5.

INJURY REPORT: Argonauts - LB Cory Greenwood (Ques-Concussion), S Jermaine Gabriel (Ques-Groin), K Swayze Waters (Ques-Quad) Blue Bombers - RB Paris Cotton (Out-Arm), SB Nick Moore (Ques-Lower Body), DT Bryant Turner Jr. (Ques-Hand)

ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Harris tossed two of his CFL-leading 14 touchdown passes in the fourth quarter last week and also paces the league in completion percentage (75.0) and yards (1,819). Toronto boasts a deep stable of receivers including Diontae Spencer, who caught five passes for 94 yards and a touchdown Saturday in his first CFL contest. The depth will be key because Kevin Elliott (22 catches, 303 yards, three touchdowns) is doubtful to play Friday (ribs) while it appears Chad Owens (26, 284, one) will miss his second straight contest (ankle).

ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (3-4 SU, 3-4 ATS, 2-5 O/U): O'Shea said Da'Rel Scott, a seventh-round draft pick of the New York Giants in 2011 who carried 31 times for 98 yards over three NFL seasons, will make his CFL debut while replacing Cotton. The expected return of Nick Moore (team-best 28 catches, 308 yards), who missed the last two games because of a lower-body injury, could soften the blow of losing Adams. The Blue Bombers' defence allows 30 points per game - second-worst to winless Saskatchewan (32.1) - but could be bolstered by the return of defensive linemen Greg Peach and Bryant Turner.

TRENDS:

*Argonauts are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games.
*Blue Bombers are 1-4-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.
*Under is 8-3 in Argonauts last 11 vs. a team with a losing record.
*Under is 5-0 in Blue Bombers last 5 games overall.

CONSENSUS: 53 percent of backers are taking the Argos with 55 percent on the over.

Toronto (4-2) @ Winnipeg (3-4)-- Argonauts won eight of last ten series games; five of last six went over the total. Toronto split its four road games this season; four of their last five games were decided by five or less points. Argos have yet to lead (0-5-1) at halftime so far this season. Three of Winnipeg's four losses are by 26+ points; they're 2-1 at home, with a 52-26 loss to Hamilton-- their last five games overall stayed under the total. After scoring 13+ points in each of first four games, they were outscored 45-10 in first half of last three.

Another day, another dog cashes in the CFL

Have you been paying attention?

Because underdogs in the Canadian Football League are absolutely on fire.

The Edmonton Eskimos were the latest underdog to cover the spread Thursday night, gutting out a 15-12 win over the Montreal Alouettes on the road, making pups a crazy good 22-6-1 ATS in CFL action so far this season.

That is a cash rate of 78.57 percent, which is almost unfathomable through 29 regular season games.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will try to be the latest underdogs to keep the trend going when they host the Toronto Argonauts on Friday night. The Bombers are currently listed as 6-point home dogs.

Game of the day: CFL Doubleheader
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite being 4-2 straight-up, the Calgary Stampeders are 0-6 against the spread.

B.C. Lions at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-9, 50.5)

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look to continue their winning ways when they host the BC Lions on Saturday. The Tiger-Cats scored 31 first-half points en route to a 38-8 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to earn their third straight victory, and pull into a three-way tie for top spot in the East Division.

Hamilton is 8-0 in regular-season games at Tim Hortons Field since the stadium opened on Sept. 1, 2014, including a 19-17 victory over the Lions last October, and hopes to improve to 4-1 against West Division opponents this season. BC snapped a two-game skid with a morale-boosting 26-23 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 7. Andrew Harris seems to be fully recovered from an ankle injury, which kept him out of the last five games of 2014, as he's rushed for more than 100 yards in his last two contests and leads the league with 519 yards on the ground. The Lions have scored at least 36 points in three of the last six meetings with the Tiger-Cats and look for their first win against an East Division foe after failing to the Ottawa Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts earlier in the year.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN

INJURY REPORT: Lions - G Cody Husband (Ques-Undisclosed), DL Ese Mrabure-Ajufo (Ques-Undisclosed) Tiger-Cats - OL Landon Rice (Ques-Undisclosed), OL Brian Simmons (Ques-Undisclosed), DT Drake Nevis (Ques-Undisclosed)

LINE HISTORY: The Tiger-Cats opened as 8-point favorites before jumping a full point to -9. The total has fallen half-a-point from 51 to 50.5.

ABOUT THE LIONS (3-3 SU, 2-3-1 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Harris was named one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week after he accounted for 175 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns to lead the Lions past the Eskimos. "Andrew Harris is a tremendous running back and he's one of the biggest threats in the CFL," BC fullback Rolly Lumbala told reporters. "Just when you think he's hit his peak he surprises you with another crazy run." Travis Lulay overcame two interceptions to finish with 195 yards and two touchdowns, but has thrown six picks in his last three outings.

ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (4-2 SU, 5-1 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Emanuel Davis became the first Hamilton player to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game and earned one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week honours for his feat against the Blue Bombers. "I'm just happy to be part of something great this year," Davis told reporters. "I just had to wait for my time and luckily it's paying off right now." Zach Collaros threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns and has racked up 793 passing yards and seven scores during Hamilton's three-game winning streak.

TRENDS:

*Lions are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
*Tiger-Cats are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
*Under is 8-2 in Lions last 10 road games.
*Under is 4-0 in Tiger-Cats last 4 games following a S.U. win.

Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders (-8.5, 48)

The Calgary Stampeders look to stay undefeated at home when they take on the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday. The Stampeders erased a 17-point deficit en route to a 25-22 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Week 6 to improve to 4-0 at McMahon Stadium, and have won 10 of their last 11 home games dating back to last season.

Calgary is tied with the Edmonton Eskimos for first place in the West Division with eight points and hopes to pull ahead of its provincial rival by avenging a 29-26 overtime loss to the Redblacks on July 24. Ottawa has already doubled its win total from a year ago following a 26-23 victory over the Alouettes in Week 7. Henry Burris is back on track after two disappointing displays against the Eskimos as he's thrown for 712 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games, including 389 yards and three scores against the Stampeders three weeks ago. Ottawa hopes to win three consecutive games for the first time in franchise history and break out of the three-team logjam at the top of the East Division.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN2

LINE HISTORY: The Stamps opened at 7.5-point favorites before jumping a full point to -8.5. The total has remained at 48 since open.

INJURY REPORT: Redblacks - WR Chris WIlliams (Ques-Undisclosed) Stampeders - WR Joe West (Ques-Leg)

ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Ottawa made some roster moves as it signed running back Travon Van and released Jock Sanders. "We brought Jock in hoping to implement him a bit more offensively but it hadn't gotten to that point," Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins told reporters. "He's been good, but he hasn't been what we'd hoped he'd be." Chris Williams had seven catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting with Calgary and leads the team with 432 receiving yards.

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (4-2 SU, 0-6 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Calgary signed running back Keith Toston, who was cut at the end of preseason, to the practice squad to provide depth with Jon Cornish out for the foreseeable future with a broken thumb. "Keith had a really good training camp for us and he knows our system," Stampeders coach John Hufnagel told reporters. "If his numbers gets called he'll be ready to go." Defensive back Adam Thibault sustained an ankle injury in the first meeting with the Redblacks but is likely to return in time for Saturday's contest.

TRENDS:

*RedBlacks are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
*Stampeders are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
*Over is 4-1-1 in RedBlacks last 6 games following a S.U. win.
*Under is 5-0 in Stampeders last 5 home games.

Ottawa (4-2) @ Calgary (4-2)-- RedBlacks (+4.5) upset Calgary 28-26 at home three weeks ago in game that Stampeders led 19-17 at half; that was only Ottawa game this season that went over total. RedBlacks outgained Stamps 422-350. Three of Ottawa's four wins are by four or less points; this is their first road game in five weeks- they're 1-1 on road, losing at Edmonton 46-17, winning in Montreal. Calgary is off its bye week; they're 0-6 vs spread so far this season; all four of their wins are by 5 or less points (0-3 as home favorite).

BCLions (3-3) @ Hamilton (4-2)-- Home side won six of last seven series games; Lions lost last two visits here, 37-29/19-17. Over is 7-4 in last 11 series games. TiCats won last three in a row, scoring 34.3 ppg; they won their two home games 34-18/38-8-- five of their six games stayed under the total. Lions have played six weeks in row since their Week 1 bye; they lost 27-16 in Ottawa, 23-13 in Winnipeg won at winless Saskatchewan. Hamilton's two losses are by total of five points; they've yet to trail a game at halftime (5-0-1) this season.

Finally a favorites weekend in the CFL

In a season where underdogs have dominated against the spread, we finally had a weekend where favorites came through for backers in the CFL.

With Toronto, Hamilton and Calgary all able to cover this weekend, favorites went 3-1 ATS in the four Week 8 matchups. The lone dog to cover was the Edmonton Eskimos.

Despite the solid weekend, favorites are still just 9-22-1 ATS to this point in the season.

The lines for Week 9 are currently off the board.
