CFL Betting Recap - Week 7

League Betting Notes

-- Favorites went 3-1 SU in Week 7
-- Favorites went 3-1 ATS in Week 7
-- Road teams posted a 3-1 SU record in Week 7
-- Road teams posted a 3-1 ATS record in Week 7
-- The 'Over' went 3-1 in Week 7

Analysis

Calgary (6-0) continues to vanquish all opponents, and they're working on a new cover streak, too. After failing to cover a huge number at home last week, the Stampeders hit the road for Saskatchewan (3-3) and came away with a high-scoring 34-22 victory against the Roughriders. It was surprising since the Riders posted a season-high 22 points against the Stamps' D, ending a 5-0 'under' run for Calgary.

The Riders had their modest two-game cover streak come to an end, and the 'over' result was their first since allowing 40 in Week 2.

The 'other' team in the Province of Alberta is playing some pretty good football, too. Edmonton (4-2) has won in consecutive games for the first time this season, as the bye week seemed to do them some good. They hung a season-high 44 points on Montreal (1-5), as they also improved to 4-2 on over totals, too. It was a surprising offensive display considering the Esks had totaled 33 points in their two previous games in a home-and-home with Toronto (1-5).

Speaking of the Argos, they continue to share the basement with the Alouettes, and it has everything to do with their shoddy defense. Winnipeg (4-3) finished off the home-and-home sweep of the Argos, as Toronto allowed 39.0 points per game (PPG) in the two contests. As a result, the 'over' has hit in two straight for the Argos after the 'under' was 4-0 through their first four outings.

The Blue Bombers have hit the 30-point mark in five of their seven games, and the 'over' is 5-0 when they score 30 or more. Their improvement on defense has been overlooked lately, as they're allowing a respectable 18.3 PPG across the past four contests.

Ottawa (4-2) continues to be the class of the East, topping Hamilton (2-4) by a 21-15 score. They have still yet to cover in consecutive games, so remember that for Thursday's trip to Toronto. The 'under' has connected in four of the past five for the RedBlacks.

After opening the season 2-1 SU/ATS, the Ti-Cats are in a tailspin. They have posted a 0-3 SU/ATS mark across the past three weekends, and will look to get well in Montreal on Friday. The 'under' is 3-0-1 for the Hammer over the past four, and 4-1-1 through six games overall.

Team Betting Notes and A Look Ahead

-- The RedBlacks head to Toronto with a 4-1 ATS mark across their past five against losing teams, 7-2 ATS in the past nine against East teams and 22-6 ATS over their past 28 road outings. On the flip side, the Argos are 7-16 ATS in their past 23 following a non-cover, 6-18 ATS over the past 24 following a straight-up loss and 2-12 ATS in their past 14 in the month of August.

-- The under is 9-1 in the past 10 for Ottawa against Eastern teams, while going 9-2 in their past 11 on the road. The under is also 6-2 in Ottawa's past eight against a losing team. The under is 4-0 in Toronto's past four against winning teams, 7-2-2 in the past 11 against the East and 6-2 in their past eight overall. Oh, and the under is a perfect 5-0 in the past five meetings overall.

-- The Riders and Esks square off in Northern Alberta. The Roughriders are 1-4 ATS in their past five against West opponents, while the Esks are 6-1 ATS in their past seven against Western clubs. However, the Eskimos are also just 7-15 ATS in their past 22 home games.

-- Saskatchewan is 4-1 ATS in the past five meetings, while the 'over' is 7-3 in the past 10 meetings in Edmonton.

-- Hamilton looks to keep Montreal at arm's length in the standings when they travel to Quebec on Friday. The Tiger-Cats are 7-2 ATS in the past nine on the road, and 5-2 ATS in the past seven against teams with a losing overall record. They're also 5-2 ATS across the past seven against the East. Hamilton is 17-8 ATS in their past 25 trips to Montreal, too.

-- Montreal has had issues against the number, going just 5-16 ATS in the past 21 overall, and 0-7 ATS in the past seven against Eastern foes. They're also just 6-20 ATS in the past 26 at home.

-- The under might be the play in Hamilton-Montreal. The under is 5-2 in the past seven for the Ti-Cats, while going 6-1 in the past seven for the Alouettes. The under is also 37-14-1 in the past 52 for Montreal against the East, including 6-2 in the past eight against the Cats. The under is also 8-3 in the past 11 meetings in Montreal.

-- BC Lions (2-3) heads to Calgary rather rested after a bye week. They hope that their road woes against the number after in the rear-view mirrors. BC is 2-7 ATS in the past nine road games, and 3-11-1 ATS in the past 15 against Western clubs. They're also just 1-5-1 ATS in the past seven against teams with a winning overall mark.

-- The Stamps are 20-9 ATS in their past 29 at home, and 21-5-1 ATS in the past 27 in the month of August. More importantly, Calgary is 3-0-1 ATS in the past four vs. BC, and 5-1 ATS in their past six at home against the Lions.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 8
David Schwab

Week 7 Betting Recap

The favorites went 3-1 both straight-up and against the spread in Week 7 of the CFL regular season starting with Edmonton’s 44-23 romp over Montreal last Thursday night as a 10-point road favorite. In Friday’s action, Winnipeg hammered Toronto 40-14 as a 10-point favorite at home.

Saturday’s doubleheader of games started with Ottawa getting past Hamilton 21-15 as a six-point road underdog to pull off the lone upset of the weekend. Later that night, Calgary remained perfect on the year with a 34-22 victory against Saskatchewan to easily cover as a 7 ½-point favorite on the road.

Thursday, Aug. 2

Ottawa RedBlacks (4-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) at Toronto Argonauts (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Ottawa -3 ½
Total: 48 ½

Game Overview

Ottawa has been able to open a two-game lead in the East as the only team in the division with a winning record. Trevor Harris has been throwing the ball with better consistency after a few up and down performances earlier in the season. He is fourth in the CFL in passing yards (1,506) through six starts and he has tossed six touchdowns against four interceptions. William Powell adds the balance on offense in the running game with 469 yards rushing and two scores on 92 carries.

The Grey Cup hangover continues for the Argonauts in the absence of Ricky Ray at quarterback. In his place, James Franklin has completed 65.2 percent of his 141 passing attempts for 967 yards. The bigger concern is his six interceptions against just a pair of touchdown throws. In last week’s lopsided loss to Winnipeg, the lone bright spot was James Wilder Jr. running the ball with 81 yards and a score on 15 rushing attempts.

Betting Trends

-- Toronto has gone 7-2 SU in its last nine games against Ottawa and it has won nine of the last 10 meetings at home. The total has stayed UNDER in the last five matchups in this East Division clash.

Saskatchewan Roughriders (3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS) at Edmonton Eskimos (4-2 SU, 2-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -9
Total: 53

Game Overview

It is hard to know which direction Saskatchewan heads in from here. The Roughriders still have a very perplexing loss at home to Montreal on the early 2018 resume to go with a solid 11-point victory against Hamilton as a 10-point underdog on the road. The recent loss to Calgary was anticipated to add quite a bit of weight to this week’s game against the second-best team in the West Division. You could see a heavy dose of the running game this week to compensate for Brandon Bridge’s play at quarterback.

This is also a very important game for the Eskimos to have any chance of keeping Calgary in sight in the West Division title race. There is no doubt that Edmonton can move the ball quickly downfield and put points on the board with Mike Reilly under center. He threw for 415 yards and four touchdowns against Montreal last Thursday and he remains at the top of the list for the season with 2,063 yards passing and 13 touchdown throws. The one issue with the Eskimos through their first six games has been a defense that has allowed an average of 24.7 points per game.

Betting Trends

-- Saskatchewan has a 4-1 edge ATS in the last five meetings, but Edmonton has won six of the last eight meetings SU. The total has gone OVER in seven of the last 10 games played in Edmonton.

Friday, Aug. 3

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-4 SU, 2-4 ATS) at Montreal Alouettes (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -6
Total: 54

Game Overview

It looks like the Tiger-Cats have been a bit overrated by the oddsmakers with a trio of SU losses closing as favorites in all three contests. They will have to cover a big number on the road this week to try and turn things around. Jeremiah Masoli continues to throw the ball well with a 67.0 percent completion rate on his 215 passing attempts. However, his 1,914 passing yards as the second-highest total in the CFL have only resulted in five touchdown passes against six interceptions.

There is a good chance that Johnny Manziel does see some playing time in this game against his former team. That may be a motivating factor for him, but he is still stuck on an offense that has scored a grand total of 92 points in six games. On the other side of the ball, the Alouettes have allowed a combined total of 192 points in that same time span. Tyrell Sutton has been the team’s top rusher with 262 yards and one score on 58 carries.

Betting Trends

-- Hamilton is 5-1 SU in its last six games against Montreal with a 4-2 edge ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in six of the last eight games between these two East Division rivals.

Saturday. Aug. 4

British Columbia Lions (2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS) at Calgary Stampeders (6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS)
Point-Spread: Calgary -9
Total: 52

Game Overview

BC is coming off a bye after giving Ottawa a run for its money in a four-point loss on July 20 as a seven-point road underdog. Before that, the Lions split a home-and-home series against Winnipeg SU and ATS. The switch to Travis Lulay from Jonathon Jennings at quarterback appears to have provided a spark for an offense that failed to score more than 22 points in each of its first four games.

Calgary is in the driver seat in the West as clearly the best team in the CFL. The Stampeders have won each of their first six games by a double-digit margin of victory behind Bo Levi Mitchel throwing the ball all over the field and a stingy defense that has given up an average of 11.3 PPG. Mitchell is third in the league in passing yards (1,517) and he is second on the list in touchdown throws with 12.

Betting Trends

-- Calgary is a perfect 5-0 SU in its last five home games against the Lions and it has gone 7-3 SU in its last 10 home games against BC. The total has stayed UNDER in six of the last eight meetings in this West Division tilt.
