    2016 CFL season betting primer and odds

    Mike Reilly and the Edmonton Eskimos are the +400 favorites to defend their Grey Cup Championship.

    We are still about six weeks until players report to NFL training camp, but if the football betting itch is getting to you, fear not.

    All you have to do is look north.

    That's right, the Canadian Football League kicks off this week and if you can't wait to sink your teeth into football betting then we have you covered. It doesn't matter that the field up there is a little wider, the balls are a little bigger and there are only three downs, we break down all you need to know to wager on the upcoming season in our CFL betting primer.

    First let's check out how all nine teams did at the betting window last season, a year which was capped off by a Edmonton Eskimos Grey Cup victory.

    CFL's teams against the spread (2015)

    1. Ottawa RedBlacks 12-6 ATS
    2. Hamilton Tiger-Cats 11-7 ATS
    2. Edmonton Eskimos 11-7 ATS
    4. Toronto Argonauts 9-9 ATS
    5. B.C. Lions 8-9-1 ATS
    6. Montreal Alouettes 8-10 ATS
    6. Calgary Stampeders 8-10 ATS

    * Home dogs 13-9 ATS (59.1 percent)
    * Unders 47-38 (55.3 percent)

    Next let's take a look at some big CFL futures odds, including Grey Cup futures, Season Win totals and Most Outstanding Player, where Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell is the favorite. (All odds courtesy Sports Interaction).

    Grey Cup Futures

    Edmonton Eskimos +400
    Calgary Stampeders +450
    Hamilton Tiger-Cats +500
    Toronto Argonauts +600
    Ottawa RedBlacks +700
    Saskatchewan Roughriders +800
    B.C. Lions +900
    Winnipeg Blue Bombers +1,000
    Montreal Alouettes +1,200

    Season Win Totals (Remember it's an 18-game regular season in the CFL)

    Edmonton Eskimos O/U 11.5
    Calgary Stampeders O/U 11.5
    Hamilton Tiger-Cats O/U 10.5
    Toronto Argonauts O/U 10.5
    Ottawa RedBlacks O/U 9.5
    B.C. Lions O/U 8.5
    Saskatchewan Roughriders O/U 7.5
    Montreal Alouettes O/U 7.5
    Winnipeg Blue Bombers O/U 6.5

    And finally, lets take a look forward to some Week 1 trends, dating back 11 CFL seasons for the first four matchups of the three-down season (Check out the Week 1 matchups here):

    Ti-Cats’ troubles

    The Hamilton Tiger-Cats can’t seem to get off on the right foot and enter the 2016 campaign on a 11-year Week 1 losing skid. To make matters worse, Hamilton is 2-9 ATS in those contests. The Ti-Cats are 0-7 SU and 2-5 ATS on the road in Week 1, which is where they open 2016 – at Toronto, for the Argos first game since moving outdoors to BMO field as 4.5-point underdogs Thursday. Hamilton has been outscored by an average of 33.5-18.4 over the past 11-years season debuts.

    No Championship hangovers up north

    The Grey Cup champs are 8-2 straight up in their last 10 Week 1 appearances (unlike the NFL, not every team plays in Week 1) and have managed to cover in eight of those 10 contests as well. Edmonton is a 6-point home favorite in a Grey Cup rematch against Ottawa this coming Saturday. However, the Eskimos will be without their head coach Chris Jones in 2016, who jumped ship to Saskatchewan to become the head coach, general manager and defensive coordinator.

    Argos Christening new ship

    As mentioned above, the Argonauts are moving to BMO Field, but their old home field was not much of a problem during Week 1. Going back to 2005, with a 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS mark in that span.

    Additionally, the Argos are also a profitable 2-9 Over/Under in Week 1 games the last 11 seasons. Toronto has scored an average of 23.6 points in those games while giving up 23.7 points against. Thursday's total is set at 53.

    Put a Stamp on it

    If you're looking for the another reliable CFL Week 1 trend, look no furter than the Calgary Stampeders and the Under. Calgary has stayed below the betting total in eight of those 10 opening week matchups. Saturday’s total against the B.C. Lions is set at 48 points.

            Thursday's CFL betting preview and odds: Tiger-Cats at Argonauts
            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            Toronto is pinning its hopes on the return of a healthy Ricky Ray, who missed 15 games last year with shoulder issues.

            Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Toronto Argonauts (-4.5, 52.5)

            The Toronto Argonauts host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to kick off the 2016 CFL season Thursday. Hamilton won all three regular-season meetings with Toronto last year, outscoring the Argonauts 111-57 and scoring at least 34 points in each game.

            Toronto is pinning its hopes on the return of a healthy Ricky Ray, who missed 15 games last year with shoulder issues, as the Argonauts let promising quarterback Trevor Harris walk away in free agency after he led the league with 33 touchdown passes in 2015. The Tiger-Cats won eight of their first 11 games before star quarterback Zach Collaros tore his ACL on Sept. 19, and they eventually fell short of their third straight Grey Cup appearance following a 35-28 defeat to the Ottawa Redblacks in the East Division final. Hamilton starts the season without Collaros as he continues rehabbing his right knee, and there is no set date for his return. The Tiger-Cats dropped 11 consecutive season openers and hope to record a Week 1 victory for the first time since beating the BC Lions 38-36 in 2004.

            7:30 p.m. ET, ESPNews, TSN

            LINE HISTORY:
            The Agros opened as 4-point favorites at home for their first regular season game at BMO Field. The line moved slightly futher in their direction up to -4.5. The total opened at 53 and came down slightly to 52.5. View complete line history here.

            ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (2015: 11-9):
            Free agent acquisition Chad Owens, who spent six seasons with the Argonauts, is set to make his regular-season debut for his new team after catching five passes for 98 yards and a touchdown in a 42-25 preseason victory over Ottawa on June 17. Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who passed for a career-high 349 yards in the playoff loss to the Redblacks, beat out Jeff Mathews for the starting job after a strong showing in training camp. "Jeremiah will be our starter," Hamilton coach Kent Austin told reporters. "He has a calmness about him that I think influences his teammates."

            ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (2015: 10-9):
            Wide receiver Tori Gurley looks to build on a sensational rookie year after catching 58 passes for 791 yards and matched a league high with 10 touchdowns in 2015. Toronto added former Hamilton stalwarts Bryan Hall and Justin Hickman during the offseason to solidify the defensive line following Tristan Okpalaugo's departure to the NFL, while kicker Lirim Hajrullahu takes over from Swayze Waters, who joined the Carolina Panthers. "I like our team," Toronto coach Scott Milanovich told reporters. "Health is always an issue but going into the season I'm pleased where we are at."

            TRENDS:


            * Tiger-Cats are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Thursday games.
            * Argonauts are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
            * Under is 17-4 in Tiger-Cats last 21 games in June.
            * Tiger-Cats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

            CONSENSUS:
            The Argos are picking up 58 percent of the wagers and Over holds a slight edge in totals plays at 52 percent.

                Friday's CFL betting preview and odds: Alouettes at Blue Bombers
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Blue Bombers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games in Week 1.

                Montreal Alouettes at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-2, 49)

                The Montreal Alouettes look to bounce back from a turbulent 2015 campaign when they hit the road to face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the season opener for both teams Friday. Montreal fired coach Tom Higgins after a 3-5 start but the move failed to have the desired effect as the Alouettes dropped seven of their next 10 games to miss the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

                Montreal hopes the return of big-play wide receiver Duron Carter, who spent a year on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad, and the addition of speedy slotback Kenny Stafford can energize a sluggish offence which finished last in passing yards at 225 per game. Winnipeg lost six of its final seven games to miss the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. The Blue Bombers' top brass made it a priority to strengthen the team in the offseason and Winnipeg will boast 11 new starters opening night including hometown hero Andrew Harris, who rushed for 1,039 yards and eight touchdowns with the BC Lions in 2015. "I really want to be a part of changing things around here and I want to be part of a championship team," Harris told reporters. "I want to do something big for this city and be a part of something that is huge."

                TV:
                8:30 p.m ET, TSN, RDS, ESPN2

                LINE HISTORY:
                The home side Blue Bombers opened as 3-point chalk, but have been bet don to -2. Meanwhile, the total opened at 49.5 and that has been bet down to 49. Check out the complete line history here.

                ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (2015: 6-12):
                Veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn assumes the starting role after coming over from the Saskatchewan Roughriders just before the trade deadline last season while Rakeem Cato, who threw for 2,167 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 appearances for Montreal in 2015, will be the backup. "It's always better when you come in at the beginning than getting traded with three games left in the season," Glenn told reporters. "You go through training camp to get to know the receivers and how they run their routes." Tyrell Sutton won last season's rushing title with 1,059 yards while Stefan Logan set franchise records by racking up 1,168 yards in kickoff returns and 1,073 yards on punt returns.

                ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (2015: 5-13):
                Free agent acquisitions Weston Dressler and Ryan Smith, who combined to catch 129 passes for 1,932 yards and 13 touchdowns with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2015, were signed to bolster a receiving corps that struggled to make big plays last season. Quarterback Drew Willy threw for 1,434 yards and eight touchdowns in the first seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in August, but has recovered fully and will be the starter in the opener. Justin Medlock, who is the most accurate field goal kicker in CFL history at 87.5 percent, was signed in the offseason to fix the team's kicking woes after former kicker Lirim Hajrullahu missed 10 field goals in 2015.

                TRENDS:


                * Alouettes went 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at the end of last season.
                * Blue Bombers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games in Week 1.
                * Under is 18-3 in Alouettes last 21 games in June.
                * Under went 6-1-1 in Blue Bombers last eight home games at the end of last season.

                CONSENSUS:
                The public is taking the home team and the points in this matchup, with 57 percent of wagers on the Blue Bombers. As for the total, bettors are liking the under, with 55 percent of wagers on it.

                  Friday's CFL betting preview and odds: Alouettes at Blue Bombers
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Blue Bombers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games in Week 1.

                  Montreal Alouettes at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-2, 49)

                  The Montreal Alouettes look to bounce back from a turbulent 2015 campaign when they hit the road to face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the season opener for both teams Friday. Montreal fired coach Tom Higgins after a 3-5 start but the move failed to have the desired effect as the Alouettes dropped seven of their next 10 games to miss the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

                  Montreal hopes the return of big-play wide receiver Duron Carter, who spent a year on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad, and the addition of speedy slotback Kenny Stafford can energize a sluggish offence which finished last in passing yards at 225 per game. Winnipeg lost six of its final seven games to miss the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. The Blue Bombers' top brass made it a priority to strengthen the team in the offseason and Winnipeg will boast 11 new starters opening night including hometown hero Andrew Harris, who rushed for 1,039 yards and eight touchdowns with the BC Lions in 2015. "I really want to be a part of changing things around here and I want to be part of a championship team," Harris told reporters. "I want to do something big for this city and be a part of something that is huge."

                  TV: 8:30 p.m ET, TSN, RDS, ESPN2

                  LINE HISTORY: The home side Blue Bombers opened as 3-point chalk, but have been bet don to -2. Meanwhile, the total opened at 49.5 and that has been bet down to 49. Check out the complete line history here.

                  ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (2015: 6-12): Veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn assumes the starting role after coming over from the Saskatchewan Roughriders just before the trade deadline last season while Rakeem Cato, who threw for 2,167 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 appearances for Montreal in 2015, will be the backup. "It's always better when you come in at the beginning than getting traded with three games left in the season," Glenn told reporters. "You go through training camp to get to know the receivers and how they run their routes." Tyrell Sutton won last season's rushing title with 1,059 yards while Stefan Logan set franchise records by racking up 1,168 yards in kickoff returns and 1,073 yards on punt returns.

                  ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (2015: 5-13): Free agent acquisitions Weston Dressler and Ryan Smith, who combined to catch 129 passes for 1,932 yards and 13 touchdowns with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2015, were signed to bolster a receiving corps that struggled to make big plays last season. Quarterback Drew Willy threw for 1,434 yards and eight touchdowns in the first seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in August, but has recovered fully and will be the starter in the opener. Justin Medlock, who is the most accurate field goal kicker in CFL history at 87.5 percent, was signed in the offseason to fix the team's kicking woes after former kicker Lirim Hajrullahu missed 10 field goals in 2015.

                  TRENDS:

                  * Alouettes went 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at the end of last season.
                  * Blue Bombers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games in Week 1.

                  * Under went 6-1-1 in Blue Bombers last eight home games at the end of last season.
