League Betting Notes (ONE GAME PENDING FOR AUG. 3)

-- Favorites went 3-1 SU in Week 6
-- Favorites/underdogs went 2-2 ATS in Week 6
-- Home teams posted a 4-0 SU record in Week 6
-- Home teams posted a 3-1 ATS record in Week 6
-- The 'Under' went 4-0 in Week 6

Team Betting Notes

-- The BC Lions (2-3) fell to 1-2 SU and 0-2-1 ATS on the road with a 23-13 setback at Winnipeg (3-3) despite being a 2.5-point favorite. The 'under' also hit for the third consecutive road outing for Jeff Tedford's squad.

-- Calgary (4-2) bounced back with a 25-22 win at home against Montreal (2-3), but they failed to cover for the sixth time in six games. The 'under' has also cashed in five of the first six games for the Stamps.

-- After failing to cover in their opening game, the Alouettes are 3-0-1 ATS in their past four games. And more importantly, the 'under' is a perfect 5-0 in five games for Montreal.

-- Saskatchewan (0-6) remains winless, and they looked worse than ever in Friday's setback in Edmonton (4-1). While the Esks have covered four in a row, and the 'under' is 4-1 through five games, things are going the other way for the Roughriders. Saskatchewan is 0-5-1 ATS through six games, and the 'under' has hit in three straight, helped out Friday by a mere five points. Their scoring totals have decreased in each of the past four games.

-- Hamilton (3-2) has won back-to-back games for the first time this season, knocking out a 34-18 win against Toronto (3-2) in the home opener for the TiCats after a road odyssey to kick off the season. The 'under' has now hit in three in a row for Hamilton, and four of five overall.

-- The Argonauts failed to cover for the first time in five games. Oddly enough, they're 3-1 SU/4-0 ATS in four games against the West, and 0-1 SU/ATS inside their own division.

-- Ottawa (3-2) was off in Week 6, as they prepare for the Alouettes at home Friday. They won at Montreal 20-16 June 25, winning outright as an eight-point underdog.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 7
By David Schwab

Week 6 Betting Recap

It took a few weeks of the new CFL regular season for the favorites to finally assert themselves, but they came away with a 3-1 straight-up run in Week 6 while going 2-2 against the spread. It did not start out that way in Winnipeg’s stunning 23-13 victory against British Columbia last Thursday night as a two-point home underdog, but Edmonton got things rolling with a 30-5 rout of Saskatchewan as a 9 ½-point favorite at home.

Calgary squeezed out a tight 25-22 victory in its matchup against Montreal this past Saturday, but it could not cover as 5 ½-point home favorite. In Monday’s East Division showdown between Hamilton and Toronto, the Tiger-Cats came out on top 34-18 as five-point favorites at home.


Thursday, Aug. 6

Edmonton Eskimos (4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS) vs. British Columbia Lions (2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS)
Point-spread: PICK
Total: 47 ½

Game Overview

Through the first six weeks of the CFL regular season the Eskimos have clearly established themselves as the team to beat in the West Division both on the field and at the betting window. Edmonton is averaging 28.4 points a game while allowing an average of just 12.6 points to its opponents.

BC quarterback Travis Lulay is coming off a very shaky performance last week in which he was picked-off three times. The bright spot in the unexpected loss to Winnipeg was the running of Andrew Harris. He carried the ball 24 times and ended the game with 117 yards rushing. He also had four receptions for 51 yards in the losing cause.

Betting Trends

Edmonton has won the last two meetings SU, but it has failed to cover in six of its last eight road games against BC. The total has gone OVER in seven of the last 10 meetings there.

Friday, Aug. 7

Montreal Alouettes (2-3 SU, 3-1-1 ATS) vs. Ottawa RedBlacks (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS)
Point-spread: PICK
Total: 46 ½

Game Overview

Montreal has to be kicking itself for last week’s loss after opening up a 17 point lead on Calgary. The Alouettes did get another strong effort from quarterback Rakeem Cato, who threw for 278 yards and a score while completing 20 of his 32 attempts. His big target against the Stampeders was slotback SJ Green with seven receptions for 132 yards and a score.

Ottawa is coming off a bye and it has to be thrilled with its surprising 3-2 SU start after winning just two games all last season in its inaugural season in the CFL as the RedBlacks. Offensively, it is averaging just 21 points a game, but veteran quarterback Henry Burris is still ranked fifth in the CFL in total passing yards with 1,372 through his first five games.

Betting Trends

Montreal swept Ottawa with three SU wins last season while going 2-1 ATS, but the RedBlacks drew first blood this season with a 20-16 victory as eight-point road underdogs in Week 1. The total has stayed UNDER in all four meetings.

Saturday, Aug. 8

Saskatchewan Roughriders (0-6 SU, 0-6 ATS) vs. Toronto Argonauts (3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Toronto -9 ½
Total: 48 ½

Game Overview

The loss of quarterback Darian Durant for the entire season continues to take its toll, but the Roughriders also have to place a good bit of the blame for their dismal 0-6 start both SU and ATS on the play of their defense. Following last week’s loss to Edmonton, this unit has been torched for an average of 32.5 points a game.

Toronto fell behind 14-0 early to Hamilton in Monday’s loss never recovered. Backup quarterback Trevor Harris put-up some solid numbers with 326 yards passing and one touchdown throw while completing 72.5 percent of his 40 attempts. It was the Argonauts’ defense that had no answer for stopping the Tiger-Cats.

Betting Trends

The Roughriders lost to Toronto 42-40 in overtime in Week 2 as three-point home favorites. They are now just 1-3 both SU and ATS in the last four meetings. The total has gone OVER in five of the last six games in this inter-division clash.

Sunday, Aug. 9

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (3-3 SU, 3-2-1 ATS) vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -7
Total: 54

Game Overview

The Blue Bombers are off to a respectable 3-3 SU start following a second-half collapse last season in which they lost 10 of their last 12 games SU. Quarterback Drew Willy has had to battle through injury this season and last week against BC he threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns to help pace the upset. He also led the team in rushing with 72 yards on just five carries.

Hamilton has gotten a solid effort from its quarterback Zach Collaros to help pace its 3-2 SU start. He is currently ranked fourth in the CFL in total passing yards with 1,444 yards and he has completed 71.4 percent of his 168 attempts this season. In this past Monday’s victory over Toronto, he completed 21-of-27 attempts for 229 yards and three touchdowns.

Betting Trends

Winnipeg is just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in seven of the last eight meetings in Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats won the first meeting this season 52-26 as one-point road underdogs.

Game of the day: Eskimos at Lions

Edmonton Eskimos at B.C. Lions (+1, 47.5)

The Edmonton Eskimos look to distance themselves from the rest of the pack when they hit the road to face the BC Lions on Thursday. The Eskimos have reeled off four consecutive wins since a Week 1 loss, and are coming off an impressive 30-5 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders to move into top spot in the West Division.

Edmonton won both meetings against the Lions last season by an average margin of 20.5 points as it looks to notch five straight wins for the first time since 2011. BC dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season after a disappointing 23-13 setback to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Week 6. Travis Lulay had his worst outing of the year, throwing three interceptions as the Lions' high-powered offence, which had put up at least 27 points in each of the last three games, was held to its lowest scoring output of 2015. "Everybody is responsible," BC coach Jeff Tedford told reporters. "We all have to be accountable to get it right."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN2

LINE HISTORY: The line opened as a pick'em, but has since shifted to BC +1. The opening total of 47.5 has yet to move.

INJURY REPORT: Eskimos - QB Mike Reilly (Out-Knee) Lions - G Cody Husband (Ques-Undisclosed)

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 1-4 O/U): Matt Nichols bounced back after being pulled in the third quarter in Week 6 by going 27-of-39 for 300 yards and two touchdowns against the Roughriders. "He responded like he always responds," Edmonton coach Chris Jones told reporters. "He did exactly what we as a coaching staff thought he would do." Kenny Stafford is in the midst of a breakout season as the fourth-year wide receiver has hauled in 19 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns, including two in his last two games.

ABOUT THE LIONS (2-3 SU, 0-3-1 ATS, 2-2 O/U): Lulay went 22-of-33 for 255 yards and a score versus the Blue Bombers but has thrown four interceptions compared to two touchdown passes in his last two games. "We just got to get better," Lulay told reporters. "The biggest thing for us is being consistent in our execution for 60 minutes." Running back Andrew Harris continues to be BC's most consistent player as he racked up 167 yards from scrimmage against Winnipeg after accumulating 129 yards and three touchdowns in the previous week.

TRENDS:

*Eskimos are 6-0 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
*Lions are 0-6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
*Under is 12-2 in Eskimos last 14 vs. West.
*Over is 4-0-1 in Lions last 5 home games.

CONSENSUS: 53.6 percent are backing the Eskies with the total split 50/50.

Hondo

On-a-roll Hondo has Jays

Headley helped chase away a victory at the Stadium on Wednesday night, and Cueto remained winless with the Royals, leaving Hondo with a double beating that pushed his deficit to 2,030 maldonados.

Thursday: Mr. Aitch expects Buehrle to muscle up and shut down the Twins — 10 units on the Blue Jays to wail on Gibson.

RIVER CITY SHARPS – MLB

Dodgers TT Over 4.5 (-130) Buchanan has picked it up for the Phils after a rough starts, but we think Dodgers give Greinke plenty of support and like how they are swinging the bats

Tigers/Royals .- Over 8 (-115) The Pet Detective and Sanchez are two guys we have enjoyed plenty of success fading and they face off today at Comerica. Sanchez gives up the long ball in bunches and Ventura doesn’t look like the same guy we saw last season

San Diego Padres (+108) Despaigne pitching much better and looking for his third straight win, while Garza is just 1-5 with a 5.83 ERA over his last seven starts. Brewers have simply lost so many pieces, tough to back them in many spots right now

Boston Red Sox (+140) Basically, we are getting the pitcher with much better recent form at +140…we’ll take that all day! Rodriguez trying to win for fourth time in last five starts, while Sabathia has been so ineffective this season and really, over his career vs. these Red Sox

Atlanta Braves (-113) When you dive into the numbers, Wisler has actually pitched pretty well, especially at home, where he is 3-0, 2.33 ERA at Turner. Urena was really ineffective last outing and the home team appears to be the right side here.
