    CFL Betting Notes - Week 4

    Week 3 Betting Recap

    The new CFL regular season continues to heavily favor the underdog with a straight-up record of 8-2-1 and a very profitable 10-1 record against the spread through the first three weeks of play.

    Last week’s action started with Winnipeg upsetting Hamilton 28-24 as a 10-point road underdog on Thursday night. Toronto followed suit later that night as a 4 ½-point underdog on the road in a 25-14 victory against British Columbia.

    In a rare tie in the CFL, Calgary and Ottawa ended their Friday inter-division showdown knotted at 26 with the Stampeders covering as slight one-point road underdogs.

    Also on Friday night’s slate, Edmonton was able to get past Saskatchewan 39-36 in overtime, but it could not cover the spread as a heavy 11 ½-point home favorite.

    Wednesday, July 13

    Ottawa RedBlacks (2-0-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) vs. Toronto Argonauts (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS)

    Point-spread: Ottawa -1
    Total: 53

    Game Overview

    RedBlacks’ quarterback Trevor Harris leads the CFL in both passing yards (1,083) and passing touchdowns (9) and a big part of his early success in place of an injured Henry Burris can be attributed to the play of wide receiver Chris Williams. With 10 catches for 130 yards in last week’s loss, he has set a new CFL record for the most receiving yards in three games to start a season with 493.

    Toronto got another solid effort from its quarterback Ricky Ray in its recent win against BC with 283 yards passing and a score. Ray completed 23-of-32 attempts in that game and on the year he has 751 passing yards and five scoring strikes behind an impressive completion percentage of 68.9 percent. Brandon Whitaker has done a good job on the ground with 139 rushing yards on 27 attempts for an average of 5.2 yards per carry.

    Betting Trends

    In four previous games against the expansion RedBlacks, Toronto holds a 4-1 edge SU with a 3-2 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in the last three meetings.



    Thursday, July 14

    Edmonton Eskimos (1-1 SU, 0-2 ATS) vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS)

    Point-spread: Edmonton -3 ½
    Total: 52 ½

    Game Overview

    The Eskimos had the stingiest defense in the league last season when it came to points allowed, but this unit has been torched for 81 points in its first two games. They have been able to pretty much keep pace on offense with 76 points behind the play of Mike Reilly at quarterback and John White running the ball. Reilly has thrown for 761 yards and five touchdowns while completing 71.4 percent of his 77 passing attempts. White is tied for third in the league in rushing yards (139) and he has two rushing touchdowns so far.

    Winnipeg closed out the 2015 season with just two SU wins in its last 12 games and after dropping its first two contests this season both SU and against the spread, last week’s win was quite a surprise. Credit the play of quarterback Drew Willy for pacing that win. He went 32-for-42 throwing the ball and ended the day with 279 passing yards and one scoring throw. Also credit the Blue Bombers’ defense for sacking Hamilton quarterback Jeremiah Masoli four times and picking him off twice.

    Betting Trends

    Edmonton is 5-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall, but it falls to just 2-5 ATS in its last seven road games against Winnipeg. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in 11 of the last 15 meetings.



    Friday, July 15

    Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS) vs. Montreal Alouettes (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS)

    Point-spread: Hamilton -1
    Total: 49.5

    Game Overview

    The Tiger-Cats will look to quickly bounce back from a poor effort last week against a familiar East Division foe in Montreal. They are going to have to find a way to get more out of a running game that only managed to gain 44 yards against Winnipeg. Chad Owens and Andrew Fantuz continue to light things up in the passing game with a combined 12 receptions for 181 yards and two scores in last week’s loss.

    Montreal had the week off after starting season with a road win against Winnipeg as an underdog followed by a loss to Ottawa in a game that closed as a PICK. The total has stayed UNDER in both of those contests. The Alouettes have failed to cover ATS in eight of their last 10 games in Week 4 and with the loss in Week 2 they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games overall. Kevin Glenn should get the start at quarterback after throwing for 591 yards and two scores in his first two games.

    Betting Trends

    Hamilton has won three of its last five games against Montreal SU, but it has failed to cover ATS in seven of its last 10 games in this East Division rivalry. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings.



    Saturday, July 16

    British Columbia Lions (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders (0-2 SU, 1-1 ATS)

    Point-spread: PICK
    Total: 50

    Game Overview

    The Lions fell from the ranks of the undefeated with last week’s loss after posting impressive victories against Calgary as an underdog at home and Hamilton as a road underdog in their first two games. The total has stayed UNDER in all three of their games. BC turned to veteran quarterback Travis Lulay last week for a struggling Jonathan Jennings and he completed 12-of-15 attempts for 156 yards and a score in the losing cause.

    A 0-2 start for a team that only won three games last season is not what new head coach Chris Jones was looking for when he left Edmonton to take over the reins at Saskatchewan. The one bright spot has been the play of quarterback Darian Durant, who basically missed the entire 2015 season due to injury. In a losing cause last week against the Eskimos, he threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns while connecting on 27 of his 38 passing attempts.

    Betting Trends

    The Lions have won four of the last five meetings SU and they hold a 3-1-1 edge ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in three of those five games and it has stayed UNDER in seven of the last eight meetings in Saskatchewan.

              Thursday Night CFL betting preview and odds: Eskimos at Blue Bombers
              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              The Blue Bombers have dropped six straight contests to the Eskimos.

              Edmonton Eskimos at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (+3.5, 55)

              The Edmonton Eskimos look to continue their dominance of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when they travel to Investors Group Field on Thursday. The Eskimos pulled out a thrilling 39-36 overtime victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 3 to hand Jason Maas his first win as a head coach and they hope to ride the momentum to their seventh consecutive triumph against the Blue Bombers.

              Edmonton has won the last four meetings by an average margin of 21 points and can notch its fourth straight road win in the series. Winnipeg eased the pressure on embattled head coach Mike O'Shea by beating Hamilton 28-24 for its first win of the season last week. The Blue Bombers loaded up on big-name talent during free agency, but lost their first two games to bring O'Shea's record to 12-26 since taking the reins in 2014 but they held off the Tiger-Cats' late charge and will set their sights on beating Edmonton for the first time since July 26, 2012. "Hopefully this helps and hopefully people will ease off a bit," running back Andrew Harris told reporters. "This organization and the guys in the locker room have to stick together and keep that other stuff out of our ears."

              LINE HISTORY:
              The Blue Bombers opened as 3.5-point home pups and were quickly bet to +3. However, since then they have moved back to the opening number. Meanwhile the total has seen much more action. The number opened at 52.5 and has been consistently been bet up all the way to the current number of 55. Check out the complete line history here.

              ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (1-1, 0-2 ATS, 2-0 O/U):
              Mike Reilly has thrown for over 300 yards in five straight regular-season games after completing 27-of-37 passes for 378 yards and four touchdowns in the win over Saskatchewan. Adarius Bowman was the main beneficiary of Reilly's big night as he hauled in six passes for 141 yards and three touchdowns while John White rushed for 96 yards and a score. Linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis, who was acquired in a trade with Hamilton last week, tore his right bicep and will be sidelined for 12-16 weeks while defensive tackle Cedric McKinley was dealt to the Roughriders.

              ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (1-2, 1-2 ATS, 1-2 O/U):
              Drew Willy threw for 279 yards and one touchdown and Harris accumulated 104 yards from scrimmage in the crucial win over Hamilton. Defensive back Maurice Leggett was a disruptive force as he recorded five tackles, two interceptions, including a pick for a 50-yard touchdown and one sack while Adrian Hubbard stripped Hamilton quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and recovered the fumble with the Tiger-Cats driving late in the game to preserve the victory. Linebacker Khalil Bass and kick returner Quincy McDuffie missed practice on Sunday but both players are likely to return in time to face the Eskimos.

              TRENDS:


              * Eskimos are 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.
              * Blue Bombers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.
              * Over is 4-0 in Eskimos last four versus Western Conference opponents.
              * Under is 7-1-1 in Blue Bombers last nine home games.

              CONSENSUS:
              Bettors are baking the hot CFL trend to continue, with 56 percent of wagers taking the Eskimos and the points on the road. The public is more undecided when it comes to the total, with 51 percent of wagers giving the very slight edge to the Over.

              EXTRA POINTS:


              * Reilly has passed for 761 yards and five touchdowns in his first two games of 2016.
              * Edmonton has scored 25 points or more in five of the last six meetings with Winnipeg.
              * Willy is second in the CFL with 940 passing yards.

                Friday's CFL betting preview and odds: Tiger-Cats at Alouettes
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                QB Kevin Glenn missed practice early in the week, but is expected to suit up for the Als vs. the Ti-Cats. Montreal is currently 1.5-point pups.

                Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Montreal Alouettes (+1.5, 46.5)

                The Montreal Alouettes hope to overcome their injury woes when they host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday. The Alouettes lost wide receiver S.J. Green to a season-ending knee injury while running back Tyrell Sutton (knee) and slotback Kenny Stafford (toe) were placed on the six-game injured list following the team's 28-13 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks.

                Montreal also is likely to be without Duron Carter, who was handed a one-game suspension for knocking down Ottawa coach Rick Campbell after celebrating a touchdown catch in front of the Redblacks' bench, unless he is cleared to play while he continues the appeal process. Hamilton is heading in the wrong direction after a disappointing 28-24 home loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Tiger-Cats received a major boost with the news that Zach Collaros was taken off the six-game injured list and participated in practice for the first time since tearing the ACL in his right knee on Sept. 9. Hamilton has dropped six of its last nine regular-season games since Collaros went down but likely will have to wait another week before its star quarterback is ready to contribute as coach Kent Austin confirmed he will not play against the Alouettes.

                The Als opened as 1-point home pups, but quickly jumped the fence to sit at -1, where they remained for most of the week. Since then however, it has been all Ti-Cats money, with the line moving to a Pick, then back to the opening number of Als +1, to the current number of +1.5.

                The total has also seen a bit of movement since opening at 49.5, getting bet down all the way to 46.5 before coming back a bit to the current number of 47. Check out the complete line history here.

                ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (1-1, 1-1 ATS, 0-2 O/U):
                Kevin Glenn, who threw for 259 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Ottawa, missed practice with an inflamed eye but is expected to recover in time to face Hamilton. Brandon Rutley will replace Sutton in the backfield while wide receivers Chandler Jones and Corbin Louks were activated from the practice roster and will see their first action of the season. "If you have multiple injuries - it doesn't matter what position - you're going to struggle," Montreal coach Jim Popp told reporters. "You structure your roster where you feel it's best, and it's not always about your starters."

                ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (1-2, 1-2 ATS, 1-2 O/U):
                Jeremiah Masoli completed 29-of-39 passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns but committed five of Hamilton's six turnovers as he fumbled three times and was picked off twice in the loss to Winnipeg. "I think Jeremiah has done a great job," Collaros told reporters."But there are things that you see sometimes and can't do anything about, and it's frustrating." Third-string quarterback Jake Waters was shipped off to the Saskatchewan Roughriders to make room for former Notre Dame and Florida State quarterback Everett Golson, who was moved to the active roster.

                TRENDS:


                * Tiger-Cats are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games.
                * Alouettes are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games.
                * Over is 4-0 in Tiger-Cats last four road games.
                * Under is 8-2 in Alouettes last 10 home games.
                * Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.

                CONSENSUS:
                The public is almost split down the middle for this Eastern Division matchup, with 51 percent of wagers giving the Als a slight edge as 1.5-point home pups. As for the total, 53 percent of wagers are on the Over.

                EXTRA POINTS:


                * The Alouettes have won 18 of their last 19 meetings SU with the Tiger-Cats in Montreal.
                * Masoli leads the CFL with four interceptions.
                * The last three meetings have been decided by an average margin of six points.

                  Saturday's CFL betting preview and odds: Lions at Roughriders
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Darian Durant and the Roughriders will try to become just the 3rd CFL team to cover the spread at home this season. They're currently 1.5-pt faves.

                  BC Lions at Saskatchewan Roughriders (-1.5, 49.5)

                  The BC Lions look to bounce back from their first defeat when they hit the road to take on the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday. The Lions failed to generate any offence with Jonathon Jennings under centre, and the first-year starter was pulled in favour of Travis Lulay late in the third quarter of the 25-14 loss to the Toronto Argonauts, but BC coach Wally Buono was quick to dispel any notion of a quarterback controversy by confirming Jennings will be the starter on the weekend.

                  BC has won four of the last five meetings with Saskatchewan, including the last two games in Regina, and hopes to improve to 3-1 for the first time since 2013. The Roughriders are still searching for their first win of the season after falling 39-36 in overtime to the Edmonton Eskimos. Saskatchewan head coach Chris Jones elected to go for it on third-and-inches instead of kicking the game-tying field goal in overtime and the Riders came up short resulting in their 22nd loss of their last 26 regular-season games. "We're going to be aggressive and we're playing to win," Jones told reporters. "We're going to face those situations again and we're not going to change our philosophy."

                  LINE HISTORY:
                  The line opened this game at a Pick'em, but it has seen mostly Roughriders money since then. The line quickly moved to Roughriders -1, then -1.5, before climbing as high as -2, before settling back at the current number of -1.5.

                  The total meanwhile, has seen much less movement. The line opened at 50 and remained there for most of the week, before coming down a half-point to 49.5 on Thursday. Check out the complete line history here.

                  ABOUT THE LIONS (2-1, 2-1 ATS, 0-3 O/U):
                  Jennings threw for 132 yards and added a rushing touchdown before making way for Lulay, who completed 12-of-15 passes for 156 yards and a score against Toronto. "We're not going to put Jonathon in a situation where the pressure is all on him," Buono told reporters. "If you have a guy like Travis around then why not utilize him?" Running back Anthony Allen accounted for 139 total yards and caught a touchdown pass deputizing for an injured Jeremiah Johnson and he hopes to get the call once more against his former team.

                  ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (0-2, 1-1 ATS, 1-1 O/U):
                  Darian Durant threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns in the loss to Edmonton to become the 17th quarterback in CFL history to pass for over 25,000 yards. Ricky Collins had the best game of his young CFL career as he caught six passes for 115 yards and a touchdown against the Eskimos. Quarterback Jake Waters was acquired in a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Bryant Moniz, who fumbled in back-to-back games, was released to make room for the former Kansas State star.

                  TRENDS:


                  * Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.
                  * Roughriders are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following a ATS win.
                  * Under is 6-0 in Lions last six games overall.
                  * Over is 4-0 in Roughriders last four versus Western Division opponents.
                  * Under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings in Saskatchewan.

                  CONSENSUS:
                  The public is giving a slight edge to the home team in this matchup, with 53 percent of wagers on the Roughriders. As for the total, bettors are split down the middle with 50 percent of wagers on the Over and 50 percent on the Under.

                  EXTRA POINTS:


                  * Saskatchewan has given up at least 30 points in each of its last seven losses.
                  * BC led the CFL with 328 rushing yards through the first three weeks.
                  * Durant has passed for 627 yards and five touchdowns in his first two games of 2016.
