09/27 04:05 PM EST   CFL   (497) MONTREAL VS (498) SASKATCHEWAN
Take: (497) MONTREAL
Reason: Montreal is on a 3-1 run, plus the Alouettes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Jonathan Crompton threw two touchdown passes in his return from injury as the Alouettes won a crucial matchup that moved them ahead of the Bombers and Lions for the final playoff spot in the West. Stefan Logan ran for a combined 138 yards on three kick returns and added a punt return touchdown in the victory. Saskatchewan (7-18-1 ATS run) is 1-6 at home and coming off a home loss to Ottawa as a favorite. The Roughriders are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, plus 12-36-3 ATS in their last 51 games following a loss. The Alouettes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings, including 4-0 ATS at Saskatchewan. Play Montreal.

09/26 07:05 PM EST   CFL   (495) TORONTO VS (496) OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Take: (496) CFL Eastern Division Game of the Month: Ottawa.
Toronto heads out on the road on a 3-game skid scoring 15, 12 and 27 points. Toronto is on an 0-4 ATS run, 2-8 ATS after a spread loss. They run into a hot Ottawa squad winning 3 in a row. Chris Milo hit a field goal with six seconds remaining in the game as the Redblacks secured their third straight victory. QB Henry Burris threw for nearly 500 yards while adding two touchdown passes and rushing for another while Kevin Glenn was solid in his return from injury. Both Chris Williams and Ernest Jackson each topped 100 receiving yards while Naaman Roosevelt hauled in a 71-yard touchdown for the Riders. Ottawa is on a 4-0 ATS run, as well as 4-1 ATS at home. Play Ottawa!      

09/20 1:05 PM EST   CFL   (297) WINNIPEG VS (298) MONTREAL
Take: The worst offense in the CFL is a big favorite here. Montreal has had two weeks off but has not been scoring points, 2-4 the last six games. They come off 26-15 loss at home to British Columbia, and have tallied 12, 23, 26 and 16 points the last four....and they opened a 10-game favorite here. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were victorious 22-7 over the Saskatchewan Roughriders last week. The Blue Bombers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Montreal, and this will be a close one so grab the big dog. Play Winnipeg.

09/19 09:00 PM EST  CFL   (295) OTTAWA REDBLACKS VS (296) SASKATCHEWAN
Take: CFL Trend Tracker Game of the Year: Ottawa. 
Reason: The Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-11) are getting some respect with this betting number...but it's tough to figure out why, off a 22-9 loss at Winnipeg. This defense has allowed 22, 19, 35, 34, 30, 30 and 31 points the last seven contests. The Roughriders are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall, 3-9 ATS at home and 13-36-3 ATS following a loss. Ottawa is in town winning two in a road and on a 5-1 spread run. Jeremiah Johnson rushed for two second-half touchdowns and Chris Milo kicked five field goals as the Ottawa Redblacks came back to beat the B.C. Lions 31-18 on Sunday. The Redblacks (6-4) win moved them into a tie for second place in the East Division with the Toronto Argonauts. Saskatchewan is 16-33-3 ATS following a spread loss, so grab the visitors. Play Ottawa!      

9/11 07:30 PM EST   CFL   (453) HAMILTON VS (454) TORONTO
Take: (453) HAMILTON
Reason: Hamilton just thumped Toronto 4 days ago, so why can't they do it again? Hamilton took sole possession of first place in the East with a 42-12 victory over the Argonauts. QB Zach Collaros had a career game, throwing for four touchdown passes and 400 yards as WR Terrell Sinkfield hauled in two touchdowns. The Tiger-Cats are on a 16-5 ATS run, plus 18-6 ATS in their last 24 road games. Toronto is home but in a slump, losing 2 in a row scoring 15 and 12 points, losing by 23 and 30 points. Toronto is on a 2-7 ATS run at home and 1-5 ATS overall. The last four Tiger-Cats wins have come by 30, 30, 29 and 30, with a three-point loss to Montreal crammed in there. Their three losses have come by a combined eight points. Toronto's just not in the same category, not really. The Tiger-Cats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings, including 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Toronto. Play Hamilton.      

08/30 04:05 PM EST   CFL   (289) SASKATCHEWAN VS (290) OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Take: (290) OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Reason: The Saskatchewan Roughriders continue to have a rough season, moving the football well but doing little else right while riding an 8-game skid. They are winless on the road and the Roughriders are on a 5-15-1 ATS run, as well as 1-6-1 ATS on the road. The main problem is defense, allowing the most points in the CFL. They've allowed 30 points in every game but one, and that was a 27-24 defeat at home to BC. Ottawa (4-4) is home from a lousy two-game trip. Ottawa's defence limited Toronto to just 44 rushing yards and Greg Ellingson has emerged as a legit star wideout. The RedBlacks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games, so grab the home team. Play Ottawa!

08/29 06:05 PM EST   CFL   (287) CALGARY VS (288) WINNIPEG
Take: (287) CFL Grey Cup Aerial Assault: Calgary.
First-place Calgary is rolling along winning 3 in a row behind Bo Levi Mitchell and RB Matt Walter. The Stampeders are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. the West and on a 14-5 ATS run in August. Calgary is rested and rolloing, scoring 25, 48 and 34 points the last three games, winning by an average of 17 points. They've also won 5 of the last 6. Winnipeg has dropped 4 of 5 with a stumbling offense, scoring 20, 8 and 3 points in three of the last four contests. The Blue Bombers are on a 4-10-2 ATS run and 3-12-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Play Calgary!      

08/28 09:05 PM EST  CFL   (285) TORONTO VS (286) EDMONTON
Take: (285) CFL Oddsmaker Shocker of the Month: Toronto.
Toronto has won 3 in a row, off a 30-24 win over Ottawa. With the win, the Argos pulled into a tie with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats atop the East Division at 6-2. The Argonauts welcomed back Swayze Waters, who averaged over 50 yards on his punts and had a perfect kicking day. Toronto has a winning record on the road and the Argonauts are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Edmonton has been turning the ball over lately on offense and comes off a 49-20 loss to Hamilton. This is an even matchup so jump on the underdog, with the Argonauts 12-5 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Edmonton. Play Toronto!      

08/23 4:05 PM EST   CFL   (297) OTTAWA REDBLACKS VS (298) TORONTO
Take: (298)  Canadian Football TV Showdown: Toronto.
You have to hand it to Toronto, with a 5-2 record despite playing the fewest home games (2-0) of any CFL team. The Argonauts are on a 6-2 ATS run, 5-2 ATS following a spread win. Toronto's offense is the most pass-happy team in the league. Ottawa has problems, on a 2-3 run off a 48-3 no-show loss at Calgary last week. It was the most points they've given up in a game. The RedBlacks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games, so grab home field in a rout. Play Toronto.      

08/21 09:05 PM EST  CFL   (293) HAMILTON VS (294) EDMONTON
Take: (293)  CFL Massacre of the Year: Hamilton.
A tough spot for the home team here. Hamilton has won 4 in a row and is the league's stingiest group when it comes to allowing yards on the ground, holding teams to an average of 73.1 yards per game. But it's the Hamilton offense that is clicking, leading the league in scoring while tallying 31, 34, 38 and 52 the last four games. The Tiger-Cats are on a 13-3 ATS run, 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. Edmonton has won 4 of 5 but hasn't been dominant. They beat some bad teams during that run, lost 26-23 at BC as a favorite and the last game squeezed out a 15-12 win over a stumbling Montreal team. The Tiger-Cats are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Edmonton and hold all the cards. Play Hamilton.      

08/15 10:05 PM EST   CFL   (117) OTTAWA REDBLACKS VS (118) CALGARY
Take: (117) OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Reason: A pair of 4-2 teams in an evenly matched game, so I'll back the hungry dog. The Ottawa Redblacks are such a pleasant surprise for the CFL. The talent they brought in is paying off and this team is 4-1 ATS against an opponent with a winning record. Calgary has given up more points than its scored and is 0-6 ATS this season, part of an 0-7 ATS run. Calgary had a bye week last week to try and figure some things out. They've been inconsistent and the Stampeders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games. Play Ottawa.

08/13 07:35 PM EST    CFL   (111) EDMONTON VS (112) MONTREAL
Take: (111) Parlay of the Month: Play Edmonton + UNDER the total.
Edmonton is a powerhouse team anchored by the No. 1 defense in the NFL, allowing 89 points in six contests. Chad Simpson rushed for 96 yards in his return to the Eskimos lineup the last game. The Eskimos' secondary has dominated teams over last few weeks, allowing just offensive touchdowns in the last four games and only 7 this season. Edmonton allows the fewest total yards per game and has limited teams to just 84.4 yards on the ground. The Eskimos are 6-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, 5-0 ATS following a loss. Edmonton is also 7-3 under the total on the road. Last place Montreal is off another loss, blowing a halftime lead to Ottawa. Montreal is on a 22-8 run under the total and will struggle to score against Edmonton. Play Edmonton + UNDER the total.      

Ottawa had its perfect 2-0 record smashed by these same Edmonton Eskimos a week ago. The Redblacks looked very good in their previous two games with QB Henry Burris connecting on 70% of his passes and has four TD's. Last week Burris threw an INT on the team's second possession that Edmonton returned for a touchdown. It was pretty much over for the Redblacks after that. The defense had also been good, allowing just 16 point average in their first two games and 255 yards until the Eskimos pounded them last week. It's always tough to beat a team back-to-back, especially when you embarrassed them the week before. The Redblacks have to avoid the early mistakes they made last week that saw them implode. If they can do that this week, then I like them here to rebound at home in a game that is more important for Ottawa than Edmonton. I'll take the points with Ottawa here on Friday.

 Rakeem Cato makes just the third start of his CFL career here on Thursday for Montreal. Cato had a rough game last week, throwing no TD's and two INT's. One of the INT's was returned for a touchdown. Cato will have his work cut out for him tonight in this Eastern Division battle with arguably the best team in the East, Hamilton. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats biggest worry though is RB Tyrell Sutton, the CFL's leading rusher with 278 yards. The Tiger-Cats blitzed and blitzed in their last game against Winnipeg and I fully expect they will use this tactic against the young QB for Montreal tonight. Montreal has a solid defense though and should be able to keep this game close. However, Cato is still young and prone to mistakes, which I believe will favor Hamilton here. It will be a close game, but I give the nod to Hamilton.

Toronto has jumped out of the gate with two wins in its first two weeks. The Argos opened with a 26-11 win over Edmonton and then won a shootout with Saskatchewan, 42-40. The big news has been the play of QB Trevor Harris. Harris has been red-hot and now faces his toughest opponent in a very good Calgary defense. Harris hit 24 of 27 passes against Edmonton for 347 yards and three TD's. Harris followed that up with a 30-of-38 performance against Saskatchewan, tossing four TD's and 267 yards. Harris' QB rating is now a blistering, 140.2. Calgary is 1-1 to start the season after being thumped by Montreal and their rookie QB, 29-11. Calgary is the defending Grey Cup Champions and they will defend home field here. They know Harris has been red-hot and they have the defense to stop him. I'm not completely sold yet on the Argos team and their QB, but this is their big test against the defending Champions. I'm taking the home team here in Calgary.

07/05 3:35 PM EST  CFL   (307) TORONTO VS (308) SASKATCHEWAN
Take: (308) Canadian Football TV Showdown: Toronto.
Toronto caught a break last week when Edmonton lost its starting QB in a 26-11 win. The Argonauts are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 road games. Now they catch another break as Saskatchewan lost its QB! Last week it was announced shortly after the game that Saskatchewa QB Darian Durant was out for the season with a ruptured Achilles. Kevin Glenn now steps into the starting quarterback role for the Riders. Saskatchewan is 16-33-2 ATS following a loss, plus 16-33-2 ATS following a spread loss. The Argonauts are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings in Saskatchewan, so grab the visiting dog. Play Toronto!

07/04 6:05 PM EST   CFL   (305) BRITISH COLUMBIA VS (306) OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Take: (306) OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Reason: Ottawa has been stockpiling talent through the draft and had a big offseason to improve on a 2-16 record. All the moves paid off last week in the opener, a 20-16 road win as a +8 dog. Ottawa's deepest cache of National talent is at defensive line, where Justin Capicciotti posted a 11 sacks to earn the team's Most Outstanding Canadian nomination. The offense brings in Jason Maas as new offensive coordinator and Bryan Chiu as the new offensive line coach. SirVincent Rogers, Greg Ellingson, and Ernest Jackson were brought in as free agents while Maurice Price was acquired from the Calgary Stampeders via trade. They also add electrifying Chris Williams, who returns to the CFL after two years in the NFL. Rogers will improve the team's offensive line while Price, Jackson, and Ellingson - a favorite target of QB Henry Burris' in Hamilton - bolster a receiving corps that some are looks like one of the best in the league. Williams helps the team both offensively and on special teams. British Columbia is a road favorite but off a 9-9 season and they hope to have QB Travis Lulay ready to go, but coming off a shoulder injury. The Lions are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games, 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games in July. Play Ottawa.      

6/27 02:05 PM CFL (125) EDMONTON VS (126) TORONTO Take: (125) EDMONTON.
Reason: The Eskimos' offense should be better because QB Mike Reilly is in the same system for the first time as a starter. This team is big and fast and the skill players sometimes seem to be playing faster than everyone else on the field. The Eskimos (8-2 ATS run) enter 2015 with the three most important foundation pieces intact in Coach Chris Jones, quarterback Mike Reilly, and a suffocating defense. Jones's specialty is defense, and he turned a below average unit into a great one last season: the Eskimos finishing first in both yards allowed per game and points allowed per game. The Eskimos are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games. Toronto is all about offense with a weak defense that was third worst in points allowed last year. Edmonton is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings, including 5-1 ATS at Toronto. Play Edmonton!

6/25 04:35 PM CFL (121) OTTAWA REDBLACKS VS (122) MONTREAL Take: (121) OTTAWA REDBLACKS. Reason: Ottawa has been stockpiling talent through the draft and had a big offseason to improve on a 2-16 record. Ottawa's deepest cache of National talent is at defensive line, where Justin Capicciotti posted a 11 sacks to earn the team's Most Outstanding Canadian nomination. The offense brings in Jason Maas as new offensive coordinator and Bryan Chiu as the new offensive line coach. SirVincent Rogers, Greg Ellingson, and Ernest Jackson were brought in as free agents while Maurice Price was acquired from the Calgary Stampeders via trade. They also add electrifying Chris Williams, who returns to the CFL after two years in the NFL. Rogers will improve the team's offensive line while Price, Jackson, and Ellingson - a favorite target of QB Henry Burris' in Hamilton - bolster a receiving corps that some are looks like one of the best in the league. Williams helps the team both offensively and on special teams. Montreal is a big favorite but off a 9-9 season where the defense was terrible allowing 394 points. Montreal has QB question marks again and the wide receiving corps is aging. The Alouettes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 1, so grab the big dog in this even contest. Play Ottawa.

11/30 03:00 PM CFL (491) HAMILTON VS (492) CALGARY
Take: (491) HAMILTON
Reason: The Grey Cup title game on Sunday! The oddsmakers have powerhouse Calgary (15-3) a big favorite, but Hamilton matches up well. After going 1-6 to start the season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats finished the season strong, looking particularly good in their 40-24 Eastern division final win over the Montreal Alouettes. The Tiger-Cats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, plus 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Hamilton Ticats were 8-5 with mobile QB Zack Collaros in the lineup, and just 1-4 without him. Calgary has yet to face Collaros this season, who missed part of the season with a concussion, and they could struggle to contain the quarterback who prides himself on mobility. And this is a terrific Hamilton defense, one that allowed 395 points -- fourth in the CFL. Their defensive backfield snagged three interceptions the last game and stifled star Montreal Alouette receivers S.J. Green and Duron Carter. Both Calgary QB Bo Levi Mitchell and Hamilton's Zach Collaros are in the Grey Cup as first-year starters, so look for a close one. The Calgary Stampeders are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 playoff games, too. Play the Hamilton Tiger-Cats!

10/25 4:05 PM EST  CFL   (295) HAMILTON VS (296) TORONTO
Take: (295) High Roller Canadian Football Crusher: Hamilton.
Hamilton is playing well, a 5-1 run yet they are a dog here. QB Zach Collaros can run and it's a major weapon and the defense is playing great allowing 11, 17 and 6 points in three of their last four games. The Tiger-Cats are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games. They face a struggling Toronto team that is 3-4 the last seven games and on an 0-3 ATS run. The defense has been a problem all year surrendering the second most points in the CFL. The Argonauts are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and the Tiger-Cats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. Play Hamilton!

9/01 01:35 PM  CFL   (287) EDMONTON VS (288) CALGARY
Take: (288)  CFL Marquee TV Showdown: Calgary.
A pair of 7-1 division leaders meet in a huge game, tied atop the CFL West. Have to back the home team as the Edmonton Eskimos are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 meetings. Edmonton has a major question mark behind center as QB Mike Reilly's status for Labour Day Classic is in question with a hand injury. After sitting out the majority of the Eskimos' 41-27 win last weekend over the Toronto Argonauts, in which he injured his thumb in the first quarter on Saturday, Reilly was at least in good enough health to have a role in Thursday's walk-through practice. Edmonton is off a win but the Eskimos are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a spread cover. And this Calgary team is loaded on both sides of the ball, on a 4-1 ATS run. Calgary just won at Edmonton last month, 26-22, despite 15 penalties and 10 punts, so grab the home team in this showdown. Play Calgary!

08/22 08:35 PM EST   CFL   (291) MONTREAL VS (292) WINNIPEG
Take: (292) WINNIPEG.
Reason: Winnipeg (5-3) is in a mild slump, but the perfect medicine comes to town: a Montreal team that can't score. Winnipeg has gotten good play from young QB Drew Wily and WR Clarence Denmark has played every game and is having a career year, second in the league in receiving yards. Winnipeg is home and plays as unconventional defensive being schemed by Bombers defensive co-ordinator Gary Etcheverry. That will cause problems for this Montreal offense that is awful, scoring 5, 5, 23 and 11 points the last four games (all losses). In fact, they are riding a 5-game skid. Winnipeg is 5-1 ATS the last seven meetings and the Alouettes are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings in Winnipeg, so grab home field. Play Winnipeg!
