What we do know entering Week 19 is that Saskatchewan and Toronto will miss the playoffs and that Hamilton will be on the road for the East semifinal game next week. Winnipeg and B.C. can clinch their conferences with wins but if either team slips up and loses it opens the door for Edmonton and Montreal.

Hamilton -2 at Toronto
This game means absolutely nothing since Hamilton is going on the road next week no matter what while the Argonauts are out of the playoffs. This is a game to avoid but if you must pick a side then Hamilton is the better team.
Friday, November 4th
Saskatchewan +8.5 at Edmonton
The Roughriders are playing for nothing while Edmonton has a lot at stake if they get some help this weekend. Saskatchewan hasn’t won a division game all year and it seems highly unlikely they will be competitive in this one. The Roughriders are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The under may also be worth a look in this game as 13 of the last 16 meetings in Edmonton between the two teams have gone under.
Saturday, November 5th
Winnipeg +6 at Calgary
The Blue Bombers will be without starting quarterback Buck Pierce and while Alex Brink has been solid, you don’t win on the road very often with a backup quarterback. Calgary is at home and they should win. The Stampeders are 6-2 against the CFL betting line at the online sportsbook in the last eight home meetings against Winnipeg.
Montreal +3.5 at British Columbia
You have to like the Lions who haven’t lost at new BC Place since the renovations. Montreal won last year at Empire Field but they haven’t won at BC Place since the 2000 season. This could also be a low scoring game as seven of the last nine meetings in BC have gone under.
