Weekend CFL Betting Predictions

    The second half of CFL home-and-home series take place on Saturday and Sunday with the home teams favored in the CFL. Normally in a home-and-home you would expect the teams to split but recent history tells us that sweeps are very possible. Here are weekend CFL betting predictions for this weekend’s action.

    Saturday, September 10th

    Toronto at British Columbia – Lions -7.5, total 49

    Is there anyone who bets at the sportsbook that wants anything to do with the Argonauts? They are now 2-7 and in total disarray. They released starting quarterback Cleo Lemon this week so it is clear Toronto has quit on the season. Backup quarterback Dalton Bell was horrible last week after replacing Leon as he threw four interceptions. The trends in this game are somewhat of a concern since Toronto is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games while B.C. is just 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. You still have to go against a Toronto team that looks to have packed it in.

    Sunday, September 11th

    Hamilton at Montreal – Alouettes -5, total 57

    What is going on with Montreal? Could they actually lose three in a row? It seems unlikely especially since they are at home. The trends definitely point to taking Hamilton in this game as the Tiger-Cats are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 meetings in Montreal but we just can’t see Montreal losing three straight. The Alouettes should have some urgency this week. "We've got to quickly figure out what we've gotten ourselves into," head coach Marc Trestman said. "I think we do (understand) and hope it's reflected in our play.”

    Saskatchewan at Winnipeg – Blue Bombers -5.5, total 48

    The Blue Bombers continue to roll along but oftentimes their games are close as four of their wins have come by six points or less. The Roughriders definitely have a chance in this one. The better play in this game though might be on the under in CFL picks as the Under is 42-18 in the Roughriders last 60 road games in the CFL betting odds. It is also worth noting that the Under is 4-1 in The Blue Bombers last 5 home games and in this series the Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings
