CFL Betting Notes - Week 18

Week 17 Betting Recap

The Ottawa RedBlacks took a key step towards winning another East Division title with this past Friday’s tight 30-29 victory against second-place Hamilton as a 2 ½-point road underdog.

In Friday’s other CFL game, Winnipeg moved into second place in the West Division with a 35-32 win at British Columbia as a 5 ½-point underdog on the road.

Saturday’s action started with Saskatchewan extending its current winning streak to four games in a 29-11 romp against Toronto in a game that closed as a pick 'em.

Calgary kept its extended winning streak alive with a 22-8 victory at home against Montreal, but it could not cover the hefty 15 ½-point spread.

Friday, Oct. 21

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-9 SU, 5-10 ATS) vs. Ottawa RedBlacks (7-7-1 SU, 6-9 ATS)
Point-spread: Ottawa -3
Total: 53 ½

Game Overview

Another loss to Ottawa this Friday would but a serious dent in the Tiger-Cats’ postseason plans, but they have been on a downward spiral since early September with just one straight-up win in their last five games while going a costly 0-5 against the spread. In last Friday’s loss, Jeremiah Masoli completed 25-of-32 attempts for 278 yards and three scores in place of an injured Zach Collaros, but he was also picked off twice.

Ottawa has not been all that much better in the second half of the season with just its third win in its last eight contests both SU and ATS. The one big positive in the RedBacks series opener of this home-and-home East Division clash was the play of veteran signal-caller Henry Burris. He completed 27-of-39 passing attempts for 393 yards and one touchdown throw. His top target in last week’s win was Ernest Jackson with five receptions for 106 yards and that lone score.

Betting Trends

With Ottawa winning the first of this home-and-home series it is now a perfect 4-0 both SU and ATS in the last four games between these two division rivals. The total has gone OVER in four of the last five meetings between the two.

Toronto Argonauts (5-11 SU, 5-11) vs. Calgary Stampeders (14-1-1 SU, 12-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -18
Total: 52 ½

Game Overview

Sticking with the losing theme that has plagued the entire East Division over the past two months, last week’s loss to Saskatchewan was the Argonauts’ fifth loss in a row both SU and ATS as part of an extended 1-9 slide (SU and ATS) in their last 10 outings. This offense is now averaging just 22.1 points a game to go along with a defense that has given up an average of 31 points to its opponents.

The only thing that can stop the incredible roll that Calgary has been on since Week 5 of the season is the Stampeders themselves. They have long since locked up the top seed in the playoffs and with a bye in Week 20, it remains to be seen how they will approach their last two regular season games this week against Toronto and next week against Montreal as far as resting their starters. The 22 points against the Alouettes last week was Calgary’s lowest scoring output since mid-August.

Betting Trends

Calgary has won the last five meetings SU including a 48-20 victory on Oct. 10 as a 9 ½-point road favorite. It also has a slight 3-2 edge ATS with the total staying UNDER in three of those five games.

Saturday, Oct. 22

Montreal Alouettes (4-11 SU, 6-9 ATS) vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-10, 9-6 ATS)
Point-spread: Saskatchewan -7
Total: 49 ½

Game Overview

Both of these teams are at the bottom of their respective division standings, but there is a vast difference with how Montreal has been playing verse the sudden turnaround with the Roughriders. Give credit to the Alouettes for holding Calgary to just 22 points, but they still have an offense that has not scored more than 20 points in five of its last seven games. The total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH in four of their last six contests.

Saskatchewan is suddenly back in the playoff picture as a possible crossover team from the West with this unexpected four-game winning streak. It has now covered in its last seven games and the total has stayed UNDER in four of its last five outings. During this four-game run, the Roughriders has scored an average of 26.8 points a game as opposed to a season average of 20.8 points that is the lowest in the CFL.

Betting Trends

Montreal won the first meeting this season 41-3 back on July 29 as a two-point home favorite. The Alouettes have covered ATS in seven of their last nine games against Saskatchewan and the total has gone OVER in three of the last four meetings.

Edmonton Eskimos (8-7 SU, 6-8-1 ATS) vs. British Columbia Lions (9-6 SU, 10-5 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -2 ½
Total: 59

Game Overview

The Eskimos come off a bye week with a three-game winning streak (SU and ATS) that started with a home victory against BC. The total has gone OVER in six of their last eight games. Edmonton never had a problem putting points on the board this season behind quarterback Mike Reilly. He is now second in the league in both passing yards (5,054) and passing touchdowns (25). The Eskimos’ defense has been the weak spot with a points-allowed average of 28.1.

The recent sweep at the hands of Winnipeg has to be of some concern to a team that had won four of its previous five games both SU and ATS. Both losses were by a combined five points so the gap with the next best team in the West is probably not that wide. After throwing for 422 yards in the first loss to the Blue Bombers, Jonathon Jennings completed 22-of-29 attempts for 327 yards and two scores, but he was also picked off three times in last week’s loss.

Betting Trends

Edmonton has won the last three matchups in this bitter division rivalry SU, but BC has a 3-1 edge ATS over the last four meetings. The total stayed UNDER 54 ½ points in the Eskimos’ 27-23 win against BC on Sept. 23 in a game that closed as a PICK. The total had gone OVER in the three previous meetings.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 17

League Betting Notes

-- Underdogs went 3-1 SU in Week 17
-- Underdogs went 4-0 ATS in Week 17
-- Road teams posted a 3-1 SU record in Week 17
-- Road teams posted a 4-0 ATS record in Week 17
-- The 'Over/under' went 2-2 in Week 17

Team Betting Notes

-- Calgary (14-1-1) rolled to a 22-8 victory against visiting Montreal (4-11), but the Stampeders failed to cover a 15 1/2-point number. It is noteworthy, as the Stampeders entered 9-1 ATS in the previous 10, and 12-2 ATS in their previous 14, entering play. The 'under' was a bit of a rarity, too, as the 'over' was 5-1 in the previous six games heading into Saturday's game.

-- The Alouettes are just playing out the string, but they are making bettors happy at the window lately. Montreal has covered three of their past four games, and they're also 3-1 ATS in their past four games on the road.

-- Ottawa (7-7-1) clawed back to .500 with a 30-29 shootout in Hamilton (6-9) to keep the Tiger-Cats at arm's length in the East Division. The two sides will do battle again next Saturday in Canada's capital city. Hamilton failed to cover for the fifth consecutive game, and they're 2-8 ATS in their past 10 games dating back to late July.

-- The RedBlacks improved to 5-3 SU/ATS in eight games on the road this season, and that type of work might serve them well heading into the postseason since they're likely to be on the road as long as they're alive.

-- The amazing late-season run for Saskatchewan (5-10) continues, as the Roughriders won for the fourth consecutive game. They're 4-0 ATS in each of their past four outings, and they're 6-0-1 ATS in the past seven. They're also 3-0-1 ATS in their past four games on the road.

-- Toronto (5-11) lost for the fifth consecutive time against the Roughriders, and they're 0-5 ATS during the span. The Argonauts have also covered just once in the past 10 games since opening 4-2 ATS in their first six.

-- Winnipeg (10-6) completed the home-and-home sweep against BC Lions (9-6) to move into second place in the West Division. After opening the season 9-2 ATS in the first 11 games, the Lions are 1-3 ATS over the past four outings.

-- The Blue Bombers sail into a bye week, and bettors will be sad to see them go. The Bombers are 4-1 ATS over the past five games, and 8-2-1 ATS over the past 11 games. Winnipeg has been tremendous on totals, too, as the 'over' is 5-0 in the past five and 8-1 over the past nine.
