CFL Betting Notes - Week 13

Week 12 Recap

It has been a tough go of things betting home favorites in the CFL this season with a 34.4 winning percentage, but British Columbia was able to buck that trend to get Week 12 started with a 38-27 victory against Montreal on Friday night as a nine-point favorite at home.

The road team covered in the next two games when Saskatchewan lost to Winnipeg 17-10 as an eight point underdog and Calgary pulled off the home-and-home sweep over Edmonton with a 34-28 victory as a 2 ½-point favorite.

The week’s action closed things out on Sunday with Toronto stunning Hamilton 33-21 as a 6 ½-point home underdog to climb right back into the East Division title race.

Here is a look at all four CFL matchups in Week 13.

Friday, Sept. 16

Montreal Alouettes (3-8 SU, 3-8 ATS) vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-6 SU, 5-6 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -9
Total: 53

Game Overview

Montreal is faced with an almost do-or-die situation on Friday night after dropping five of its last six games both straight-up and against the spread. The Alouettes woes on offense improved a bit with the changeover to Rakeem Cato at quarterback, but they were playing from behind all game long against BC after going down 15-3 at the end of the first quarter. Cato finished the game with 255 yards passing and one touchdown.

The Tiger-Cats have been taking a start and stop approach to this entire season at 5-6 and they have now followed up a win with a loss (both SU and ATS) over their past four contests. This lack of consistency was evident on Sunday. Following a scoreless opening quarter, Hamilton posted 20 points to take a four-point lead into halftime, but it was once again shutout in the third quarter and held to one point in the fourth.

Betting Trends

Hamilton rolled to a 31-7 victory in the first meeting this season as a two-point road favorite on July 15. It has now won four of the last six games against Montreal both SU and ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in the last four games of this East Division tilt.

Saturday, Sept. 17

Toronto Argonauts (5-6 SU, 5-6 ATS) vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (7-4 SU, 5-5-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Winnipeg -7
Total: 50

Game Overview

The saga of Ricky Ray’s multiple string of injuries over the past few seasons continued with a fractured rib in Week 11 to pave the way for Dan LeFevour to make his first CFL start in almost two years in last week’s game against the Tiger-Cats. There were no major signs of rust in his performance and he ended the day completing 75 percent of his 36 passes for 329 yards and a score. Kevin Elliott led the way with six catches for 91 yards.

The Blue Bombers keep cruising along with six SU wins in a row, but for the second week they have failed to cover as favorites after winning the first four games as underdogs. None the less, they are now third place in the West behind Calgary and BC. During this impressive run, Winnipeg has averaged 29.6 points a game, while holding its opponents to a total of just 103 points.

Betting Trends

This will be the second meeting this season with Winnipeg holding the early edge as a result of a 34-17 victory on Aug. 12 as a four-point road underdog. Toronto had won the previous three meetings both SU and ATS and the total has now gone OVER in four of the last six meetings in this interdivision clash.

Ottawa RedBlacks (5-4-1 SU, 4-6 ATS) vs. Calgary Stampeders (9-1-1 SU, 9-2 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -10
Total: 53

Game Overview

The RedBlacks return to action following last week’s bye and they currently hold a game and half lead over Hamilton and Toronto in the East. Even with a 19-14 win against Montreal in Week 11 as 2 ½-point road favorites, they are still 2-4 SU in their last six games and a costly 1-5 ATS over this same stretch. Trevor Harris has thrown for 2,133 yards and 11 touchdowns while missing some time to injuries and Chris Williams leads the team in receiving yards with 991.

Calgary has the longest SU winning streak in the CFL at eight games and following its home-and-home sweep of Edmonton, it has gone a perfect 6-0 ATS in its last six outings. Things continue to click on both sides of the ball for the CFL’s most complete team. With 338 passing yards and three touchdown throws in last week’s win, Bo Levi Mitchell has now thrown for 3,575 yards and a league-high 20 touchdowns in his first 11 games.

Betting Trends

The Stampeders have a 4-1 edge ATS in the last five meetings after battling Ottawa to a SU 26-26 tie earlier this season as slight 1 ½-point road underdogs. The total ended as a PUSH in that game after going OVER in three of the previous four matchups.

Sunday, Sept. 18

Edmonton Eskimos (5-6 SU, 3-7-1) vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-10 SU, 5-6 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -4 ½
Total: 55 ½

Game Overview

The defending champs have once again fallen below .500 with last week’s loss and the Eskimos have now failed to cover in their last three games. The total went OVER 55 in the Week 12 loss to Calgary and it has gone OVER in Edmonton’s last four contests. This team continues to find the end zone at a clip of 29.5 points a game, but the Eskimos’ defense has been torched all season long with a matching points-allowed average of 29.6.

The Roughriders would probably opt to call it quits right now if given the chance, but they have been a decent betting team lately with three covers in a row. The one bright spot has been the play of veteran quarterback Darian Durant in one losing cause after another. Last week against Calgary, he completed 64 percent of his passes for 283 yards and a touchdown. On the year, he is fifth in the CFL in total passing yards with 2,476.

Betting Trends

This will be the third meeting this season in this bitter West Division rivalry. Edmonton has won the first two games SU, but the Roughriders have been able to cover as heavy road underdogs each time. Going back over the past 10 meetings, the Eskimos have an 8-2 edge SU with a 7-3 record ATS. The total has gone OVER in the last three games.
