    CFL Betting Notes - Week 7

    Week 6 Betting Recap

    Week 6 of the 2016 CFL regular season got underway with a huge upset when Winnipeg beat Edmonton 30-23 straight-up as a 9 ½-point road underdog last Thursday night. Montreal made short work of Saskatchewan as a two-point home favorite in the first of two games on Friday night in a 41-3 romp.

    The second half of Friday’s CFL double-header was one of the best games of the season so far with Calgary outlasting British Columbia 44-41 in overtime, but failing to cover against the spread as a five-point favorite at home. Sunday’s action closed things out with another road team pulling off an upset in Toronto’s big 23-20 win against Ottawa as a heavy 10-point underdog. Here is a look at the lineup for Week 7 in the CFL.

    Wednesday, Aug. 3

    Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-4 SU, 2-4 ATS)

    Point-spread: Hamilton -2
    Total: 50

    Game Overview

    The Tiger-Cats had a bye last week after going a perfect 3-0 both straight-up and against the spread in their first three road games this season. They averaged 36.7 points a game in those three wins while scoring a combined 27 points in two losses at home. Jeremiah Masoli is expected to make at least one more start at quarterback for Hamilton with Zach Collaros not expected back in the lineup until Week 8 at the earliest.

    Winnipeg’s stunning upset over Edmonton was fueled by the play of quarterback Matt Nichols, who was given the start over an ineffective Drew Willy. Nichols made the most of the opportunity by completing an impressive 78.8 percent of his 33 passes for 304 yards and a score. Andrew Harris had a big day on the ground with 127 rushing yards and a score on 22 carries.

    Betting Trends

    Hamilton has won six of the last eight meetings both straight-up and against the spread, but one of those losses came in Week 3 of this season when it fell to the Blue Bombers 28-24 as a nine-point favorite at home. The total has stayed UNDER in three of the last four meetings.


    Thursday, Aug. 4

    British Columbia Lions (3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS) vs. Montreal Alouettes (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS)

    Point-spread: British Columbia -3
    Total: 50 ½

    Game Overview

    The Lions will try and bounce back from their second SU loss in their last three games. They have to be kicking themselves after blowing a 34-19 lead heading into the fourth quarter of last week’s loss to Calgary. BC’s normally stout defense that had only allowed an average of 18.3 points in its first four games gave up 22 points in one quarter to send that game to overtime. Quarterback Jonathan Jennings ended the day with 374 yards passing and three touchdown throws.

    Montreal’s offense showed some signs of life in last week’s rout after scoring a grand total of just 59 points in its first four games. Credit the play of quarterback Kevin Glenn and wide receiver Duron Carter with the win. Glenn completed 27-of-36 attempts for 299 yards and two touchdowns. Eight of those completions and one of those scores went to Carter. This was the Alouettes first win at home this season against two previous losses.

    Betting Trends

    The home team in this matchup had won eight games in a row both SU and ATS before the road team ended that streak last season with two straight victories (SU and ATS). The total has stayed UNDER in five of the last six games.

    Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS) vs. Calgary Stampeders (3-1-1 SU, 3-2 ATS)
    Point-spread: Calgary -12 ½
    Total: 59 ½

    Game Overview

    It is hard to know to make of the Roughriders’ play over their last two games. They failed to show up on the road against Montreal after stunning Ottawa 30-29 in Week 5 as 6 ½-point home underdogs. Mitchell Gale was the hero in the win against the RedBlacks in place of an injured Darian Durant at quarterback, but he looked very average last week with 211 yards passing, an interception and a completion percentage of just 56.1 percent. Durant is listed as questionable for this week’s game.

    Calgary’s big fourth-quarter comeback and its eventual victory in overtime has the Stampeders setting the early pace in the West Division title race. It has now won three of its last four games both SU and ATS while averaging 34.8 points in those four contests. Bo Levi Mitchell once again lit things up through the air with 364 passing yards and three touchdown throws in last week’s win. He is now tied for the league lead in touchdown passes with 11.

    Betting Trends

    Calgary has won the last four games in this West Division tilt SU and it has a 3-1 edge ATS. The total has gone OVER in all four of those contests.


    Saturday, Aug. 6

    Edmonton Eskimos (2-3 SU, 0-4-1 ATS) vs. Ottawa RedBlacks (3-2-1 SU, 3-3 ATS)

    Point-spread: Ottawa -4 ½
    Total: 59

    Game Overview

    One more loss by Edmonton would match its loss total for the entire 2015 season. With Mike Reilly leading the CFL in passing yards (1,926) and tied for the lead in passing touchdowns (11) on an offense that is averaging 30 points a game, you would have to pin most of the Eskimos’ very shaky 2-3 start on a defense that has allowed an average of 37.3 points in those three losses.

    Ottawa is another team that has been hard to figure out through its first six games. Last week’s loss to Toronto came against a quarterback that was making his first CFL start. The RedBlacks did have Henry Burris back as their starting quarterback for an injured Trevor Harris, but the rust was pretty obvious with a costly interception in final minute of play that sealed the upset for the Argonauts as heavy road underdogs. Harris is listed as questionable for Saturday’s contest.

    Betting Trends

    Ottawa drew first blood in this season’s series with a 45-37 overtime victory in Week 1 as a six-point road underdog. This snapped a SU five-game losing streak to Edmonton including last season’s Grey Cup Championship. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the six meetings.

                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Wednesday night CFL betting preview and odds: Tiger-Cats at Blue Bombers
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                The Bombers made a change at QB last week and Matt Nichols led them to a big win in Week 6.

                Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (+4., 49.5)

                The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look to build on their epic Week 5 comeback when they travel to Winnipeg to battle the Blue Bombers on Wednesday. The Tiger-Cats erased a 25-point halftime deficit en route to a 37-31 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos to complete the biggest comeback in franchise history, and they hope to ride the momentum to their third straight win.

                Hamilton, which had a bye in Week 6, has won all three of its road games this season and can stay in the thick of the East Division race by avenging a disappointing 28-24 loss to Winnipeg on July 7. The Blue Bombers are coming off their most impressive display of the season after downing the Eskimos 30-23. Winnipeg head coach Mike O'Shea opted to start backup quarterback Matt Nichols over a struggling Drew Willy and the move paid immediate dividends as Nichols led the Blue Bombers to their first win at Commonwealth Stadium in over 10 years. Winnipeg has dropped eight of the last 10 meetings with Hamilton, including four straight home games, but the Blue Bombers hope to bury the past and complete the season sweep of the Tiger-Cats for the first time since 2011.

                8:30 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN3

                LINE HISTORY:
                The Tiger-Cats opened this matchup as 2-point road faves and bettors have moved that number all the way to its current number of -4.5. The total has backed back-and-forth betwen the opening number of 50 and 49.5, where it currently sits. Check out the complete line history here.

                ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (3-2):
                Jeremiah Masoli set a new CFL record by completing 23 straight passes and finished 31-of-38 for 391 yards and three touchdowns in the win against Edmonton. Quarterback Zach Collaros, who was one the frontrunners for the CFL's Most Outstanding Player before tearing his ACL on Sept. 19, 2015, is nearing a return but will sit out at least one more game. "He's really close and he's doing very well," Hamilton head coach Kent Austin told reporters. "Jeremiah has done awesome with his opportunity and he's trustworthy and has proven that so we'll just go with the health of the guys as we're told."

                ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (2-4):
                Nichols showed full command of the offence as he completed 26-of-33 passes for 304 yards and a touchdown in the morale-boosting win over his former team. "I'm not thinking down the road, I'm just thinking one game at a time," Nichols told reporters. "I've always had to prove people wrong and it's not any different for me now so it's something I'm used to." Weston Dressler caught six passes for 111 yards before suffering a knee injury in the second quarter and is unlikely to play Wednesday while Darvin Adams, who had 10 receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown, has an arm injury and is also doubtful.

                TRENDS:


                * Tiger-Cats are 4-1 ATS in their last five games in August.
                * Blue Bombers are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games.
                * Over is 5-1 in Tiger-Cats last six road games.
                * Under is 8-1-2 in Blue Bombers last 11 home games.
                * Tiger-Cats are 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings in Winnipeg.

                CONSENSUS:
                Bettors like the favorite in this matchup, with 61 percent of wagers taking the Ti-Cats and the points. As for the total, 58 percent of wagers are on the Over.

                EXTRA POINTS:


                * The Tiger-Cats have won the last four meetings in Winnipeg by an average margin of 20 points.
                * Winnipeg RB Andrew Harris leads the CFL with 333 rushing yards.
                * The Blue Bombers haven't won back-to-back games since July 2014.

                    Thursday night CFL doubleheader preview and odds: Lions at Alouettes and Roughriders at Stampeders
                    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    Calgary Stampeders' quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 20 consecutive games.

                    B.C. Lions at Montreal Alouettes (+2.5, 49.5)

                    The BC Lions look to bounce back from a devastating Week 6 collapse when they hit the road to face the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday. The Lions were seemingly poised to record their fourth win but they imploded down the stretch by giving up 15 points with under three minutes remaining and suffered a 44-41 overtime loss to the Calgary Stampeders to lose their grip on first place in the West Division.

                    BC has lost four of its last five trips to Montreal but did emerge 25-16 winners last season and hopes to stay in the hunt for the division title by notching two straight wins in Quebec for the first time since 2003-04. The Alouettes' offence sprang to life in the 41-3 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Montreal was averaging a CFL-low 14.7 points per contest but exploded for their highest single-game output since scoring 47 points against the Toronto Argonauts on Oct. 5, 2013 and the Alouettes hope the offence keeps clicking against a ferocious Lions pass rush that has registered 16 sacks. "Our mindset is not have any excuses," Montreal quarterback Kevin Glenn told reporters. "This is what we can do and if we believe in ourselves then everything else will take care of itself."

                    LINE HISTORY:
                    The Lions opened as three-point road favorites early in the week, but the line came down to 2.5 on Wednesday afternoon after books got a little bit too much action on the home dogs.

                    The total opened at 50.5 and has dropped a full point during the week to sit at it's current number of 49.5.

                    ABOUT THE LIONS (3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U):
                    Jonathon Jennings completed 26-of-41 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns, but threw two costly interceptions, including a pick in overtime, to seal BC's fate against Calgary. "I made two terrible mistakes and let the team down," Jennings admitted to reporters. "We didn't close the game out and that's my fault." BC was forced to use a patchwork defensive line as Craig Roh (neck), David Menard (foot) and Mic'hael Brooks (ankle) were forced out of the game with injuries while defensive back Brandon Stewart hurt his ankle and is doubtful for Thursday.

                    ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS, 1-4 O/U):
                    Glenn had a solid night as he threw for 299 yards and a pair of touchdowns while Nik Lewis caught eight passes for 67 yards to move into eighth place on the CFL's all-time receiving yards list. Duron Carter is turning into one of the most promising pass catchers in the league as he finished with eight receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown in the win against Saskatchewan. Montreal kicker Boris Bede continues to struggle as he missed his eighth field goal of the season and was flagged for two illegal kick penalties versus the Roughriders.

                    TRENDS:


                    * Lions are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.
                    * Alouettes are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.
                    * Over is 6-1 in Lions last 7 games following a straight up loss.
                    * Under is 10-2 in Alouettes last 12 home games.
                    * Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

                    CONSENSUS:
                    The public is siding with the road favorite in the early game, with 59 percent of wagers on the Lions. Bettors are leaning towards the Under in totals wagering at 54 percent.

                    EXTRA POINTS:


                    * BC and Montreal have split the last 10 meetings.
                    * Lions DE Alex Bazzie leads the CFL with five sacks.
                    * Carter has 14 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games.




                    Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders (-10.5, 57)

                    The Calgary Stampeders look to stay in first place in the West Division when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday. The Stampeders rallied from a 15-point deficit late in the fourth quarter to stun the BC Lions 44-41 in overtime to take over the division lead and they hope for an extended stay in top spot by continuing their dominance at McMahon Stadium.

                    Calgary has won 17 of its last 20 regular-season home games since the start of 2014 and has beaten the Roughriders twice in Alberta during that span, including a 42-19 victory on Oct. 31, 2015. Saskatchewan is left to pick up the pieces following a disappointing 41-3 loss to the Montreal Alouettes in Week 6. Chris Jones' first year in Saskatchewan is likely to get worse before its gets better as the Roughriders have dropped six straight regular-season meetings with Calgary and haven't notched a victory at McMahon Stadium since Aug. 1, 2009. Quarterback Mitchell Gale struggled in his second career CFL start, finishing without a touchdown pass and it remains to be seen whether Darian Durant can recover in time to try and salvage a season that is slipping away.

                    LINE HISTORY:
                    The Stamps opened as 11.5-point home favorites, but have since been dropped a full point to -10.5.

                    The total opened at a lofty 58 and Under betting has been steady enough that books were forced to drop the number a full point down to 57.

                    ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U):
                    Gale went 23-of-41 for 211 yards and an interception as Saskatchewan could only manage 273 yards of total offence in the loss to the Alouettes. Durant threw for 731 yards and six touchdowns in three games before spraining his ankle during the 40-27 setback to the BC Lions and his status is unknown for Thursday. "If he's healthy and able to do the things that Darian Durant can do then he will come back," Jones told reporters. "We're not going to dictate whether he comes back based on the loss of a football game."

                    ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (3-1-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-1-2 O/U):
                    Bo Levi Mitchell passed for 364 yards and three touchdowns, including two scores with less than three minutes left in regulation, in the win over BC. "That was about as crazy as a comeback I've ever been a part of and I've been around 20 years now," Calgary head coach Dave Dickenson told reporters. "I'm telling the guys it's a big win but it's not going to make or break your season." Greg Wilson's top-end speed was on full display as he caught three passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns to finish with a 39-yard average per reception.

                    TRENDS:


                    * Roughriders are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 road games.
                    * Stampeders are 5-0 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
                    * Over is 6-0 in Roughriders last 6 games following a straight up loss.
                    * Over is 6-1 in Stampeders last 7 games in Week 7.
                    * Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

                    CONSENSUS:
                    Bettors are really liking the big home favorites in this one, with 59 percent of the picks coming in on the Stampeders. In totals wagering, Under is grabbing 55 percent of the selections.

                    EXTRA POINTS:


                    * Calgary has won the last seven home meetings with Saskatchewan.
                    * Mitchell has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 20 consecutive games.
                    * The Roughriders are giving up a league-worst 35.8 points per game.

                          Team Betting Notes

                          -- Ottawa (4-2-1) upended Edmonton (2-4) in a rematch of the 103rd Grey Cup last November, avenging a 26-20 loss in Winnipeg. Despite the victory the RedBlacks are 0-3 ATS over the past three games after starting out 3-1 ATS in the first four contests.

                          -- The RedBlacks have been impressive at the betting window when it comes to totals. The 'under' is 4-1-1 over the past six games since an 'over' result in Week 1 against the Esks.

                          -- Saskatchewan (1-5) laid another egg, as they have followed up their July 22 win against the RedBlacks with two lopsided losses, averaging just 9.0 points per game (PPG) while allowing 38.0 PPG. They're not 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS on the road this season.

                          -- It was another loss and non-cover for Montreal (2-4), as they have now scored 18 or fewer points in four of their six games. As such the 'under' is 4-2 in their six games this season. The Alouettes have failed to cover in four of their past five games, too.

                          -- The BC Lions (4-2) rebounded after last weekend's disappointing loss in Calgary, humbling the Alouettes 38-18 in Montreal. The Lions improved to 5-1 ATS, including a perfect 4-0 ATS on the road. They are also averaging 39.7 PPG over the past three, all 'over' results, after a 3-0 'under' run.

                          -- Winnipeg (3-4) continued their solid play with an impressive 37-11 win over Hamilton (3-3). After starting out 1-3-1 ATS in their first five games, the Bombers have covered in back-to-back affairs for the first time since a four-game cover streak from Sept. 25-Oct. 16, 2015.

                          -- The 'under' has cashed in four of the past five games for the Ti-Cats. In games Hamilton has been favored, the 'under' is 4-0. When they're an underdog, the 'over' is 2-0.
