09-17-21 | Calgary +2 v. Hamilton | 17-23 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Stampeders. The big story here will be the starting QB for both teams. Bo Levi Mitchell is back for Calgary, and he threw for 276 yards with a TD and an INT on 23-of-42 passing in a blowout win at Edmonton last week. The Ticats will start their third string QB David Watford, who threw for 78 yards on 6-of-10 passing after coming in to replace the injured Dane Evans last week. It's going to be tough to replace Evans, who threw for 644 yards with 5 TDs and just one INT appearing in four games. The Stampeders are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games as a road underdog, and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight at Hamilton. GL, Jesse Schule |

09-11-21 | Saskatchewan v. Winnipeg -115 | 9-33 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Bombers, The Bombers won big at Saksatchewan in the Labour Day Classic, and they look good as a pickem in the rematch just five days later. Cody Fajardo took a beating in the loss, throwing for 211 yards and three INTs on 23-of-39 passing. The Blue Bombers are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 home games, and they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a home favorite. They have covered in six of their last seven versus Saskatchewan. GL, Jesse Schule |

09-10-21 | Hamilton v. Toronto OVER 47 | 16-17 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Argos lost the Labour Day Classic at Hamilton by a score of 32-19, and we can expect another high score here in Toronto just four days later. Both defenses are a little banged up, and Argos pass rusher Charleston Hughes is questionable to play in the rematch. Dane Evans had his way with the Argos, throwing for 248 yards and two TDs on 21-of-29 passing in the win. These teams have gone over the total in seven of the last eight meetings, and the total for tonight's game is lower than it was in seven of those eight games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Edmonton Elks v. Calgary -5.5 | 32-20 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Calgary. There's a new sheriff in town for the Stampeders, and rookie QB Jake Maier has thrown for 611 yards on 46-of-68 passing. He's showed the poise of a seasoned pro, and the Stamps are in good shape moving forward. The same can not be said for the Edmonton Elks, who have been sidelined for weeks due to a Covid outbreak. Edmonton is coming off a win at BC, but they are 0-8 ATS coming off a win. They are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog, and they have failed to cover in seven of their last 10 at Calgary. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Toronto +115 v. Hamilton | 19-32 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Argos are coming off a bye, and the Ticats are coming off their first win of the season. Something's gotta give here in Hamilton on Labour Day, and the bookmakers are saying this could be anybody's game. Nick Arbuckle stepped in at QB for the Argos in Week 3, and he threw for 310 yards and a TD on 23-of-32 passing. The Ticats also made a change at QB, and Dane Evans played well in Hamilton's first win. The Argos have lost six in a row versus Hamilton, but the pieces are in place for them to end that streak here on Labour Day. Toronto has covered in seven straight versus Eastern Conference teams. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Winnipeg +5.5 v. Saskatchewan | 23-8 | Win | 100 | 38 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG. The Riders have the best record in the CFL, but they face their toughest test yet when they host the defending champions Winnipeg. The Bombers are coming off an 18-16 win over Calgary, and they have the top ranked defense in the CFL. History tells us that we can expect this to be a close game, and Winnipeg looks like a solid bet getting points. Winnipeg has won four of the last six meetings, and they have covered the spread in five of those six games. Andrew Harris is back, and he ran for 81 yards and a TD on 17 carries in the win over Calgary. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
09-03-21 | Montreal -7 v. Ottawa | 51-29 | Win | 100 | 18 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal. Both Montreal and Ottawa are 1-2, but the Als have a lot more to be positive about. They scored 30 points in a Week 2 win over Edmonton, before losing a close game at Calgary in Week 3 and then last week they lost to a desperate Hamilton team. They draw a favorable matchup here on Friday night, playing the RedBlacks. Ottawa ranks dead last in the CFL in scoring, and QB Matt Nichols has yet to throw a TD pass. He can lay the blame on a poor offensive line, and that could be a recipe for disaster here against an opportunistic Montreal defense. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-29-21 | Calgary v. Winnipeg -6.5 | 16-18 | Loss | -110 | 40 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Winnipeg. The Bombers lost on the road at Calgary last week, but they draw a favorable matchup this Saturday with a home game against Calgary. The Stampeders lost Bo Levi Mitchell to injury, and last week they started rookie Jake Maier, who completed just 55 percent of his passes for 304 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs. Despite Montreal out-gaining the Stamps 418-384 in total yards, Calgary hung on for the win. He's facing a far tougher team here on the road in Winnipeg this week, and it's bound to be tough sledding. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-27-21 | Hamilton -125 v. Montreal | 27-10 | Win | 100 | 41 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Hamilton. The Ticats are 0-2, and this has forced them to make a change turning to Dane Evans at QB. They are coming off a bye week, giving them plenty of time to get their ducks in a row. Jeremiah Masoli had thrown four picks and just one TD in back to back losses to start the season, which resulted in him being benched in the loss to Saskatchewan in Week 2. Evans was the starter in 2019, throwing for over 3,700 yards with 21 TDs and 13 INTs. Hamilton finished first in the East and had the best record in the CFL (15-3) with Evans under center. He's more than capable of leading them to a win on the road at Montreal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-21-21 | Winnipeg v. Toronto OVER 45 | Top | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 42 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. After eight of the first nine games in the CFL this season went under the total, the bookmakers have made adjustments. The result is low numbers that are a product of recency bias. I believe thats' the case here in Toronto, as the Argos host the defending champs. A change at quarterback could spark the Argos offense, and keep in mind that Nick Arbuckle was expected to be the starter heading into this season. The Bombers are 2-0, and their offense is already firing on all cylinders. These teams have gone over in eight of the last nine meetings, and four straight in Toronto. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-20-21 | Montreal -5 v. Calgary | 22-28 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 9* play on MTL. The ALs opened as a dog, but have since been bet all the way up to a five point favorite after it was announced that Bo Levi Mitchell would not play. I like Montreal to win outright here as they come in firing on all cylinders offensively. Vernon Adams Jr. threw for a pair of TDs on 13-of-21 passing for 211 yards. William Stanback ran for 112 yards on 18 carries in the ALs 30-13 win at Edmonton. It was Montreal's defense that was most impressive though, holding Edmonton to a pair of field goals in the first three quarters. Calgary is going to struggle here with a rookie QB this early in the season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-19-21 | Edmonton Elks v. BC -190 | 21-16 | Loss | -190 | 48 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the B.C. Lions. The Lions will be the favorite at home versus Edmonton on Thursday, and they come into this game with a 1-1 record. Since Mike Reilly came in to replace Nathan Rourke for the second half of their season opener, they have outscored the opposition 35-10. Reilly threw for 342 yards on 26-of-33 passing in the win at Calgary last week. The Lions defense picked off Bo Levi Mitchell four times. Trevor Harris actually comes in as the league leader in passing yards, but with three INTs and just one TD it's fair to say he's struggling. The Elks are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-14-21 | Hamilton v. Saskatchewan -155 | 8-30 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Saskatchewan. The Riders dominated the first half of their home opener versus BC, and held on to win a close game. They host the Hamilton Tigercats in Week 2, and Hamilton is expected to be one of the best teams in the CFL this season. History doesn't bode well for the visitors though, as they are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven games in August, and they are 3-17-1 ATS in their last 21 meetings in Saskatchewan. The Roughriders are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite. I'll take the home team as a slight favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-13-21 | Toronto v. Winnipeg -6.5 | 7-20 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG. The Argos earned a hard fought win on the road at Calgary in their season opener, which now looks less impressive after the Stamps scored just single digits in a home loss to BC in Week 2. Winning on the road in back to back weeks seems like a tough ask, as they take on the defending champs in Winnipeg. The Bombers picked up right where they left off in 2019, beating Hamilton 19-6 in Week 1. They should be healthier in Week 2, and they have won their last two home games versus the Argos by a combined 53 point margin. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-12-21 | BC +7 v. Calgary | 15-9 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the BC Lions. The Lions season opener was a story of two halves. The first half in Saskatchewan was a complete disaster, plagued by turnovers and a rookie QB that was like a deer in the headlights. Eventually Nathan Rourke was able to gain his composure, and threw for 194 yards and two TDs on 10-of-18 passing. The Lions held Saskatchewan to just one point in the second half, and ended up with a chance to win it in the final minute. Calgary is coming off a disappointing home loss to Toronto, and now they have to play BC on a short week. Teams playing on a short week are 2-8 straight up in the last 10 such situations, and Calgary is asked to cover a ton of points here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-07-21 | Toronto v. Calgary -200 | 23-20 | Loss | -200 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Calgary. The Stampeders have been by far the best team in the CFL over the last decade, and they start the 2021 season with veteran QB Bo Levi Mitchell back under center. The two time league MVP has a career record of 77-18-2 as a starter. The Stamps open the season at home, where they are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 versus Toronto. The Argos were one of the league's worst teams in 2019, but they've completely overhauled their roster adding a ton of talent. They may be competitive in the East, but it will take some time for things to come together. I don't see Toronto figuring it out on the road in Calgary in Week 1. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-06-21 | BC v. Saskatchewan UNDER 48 | 29-33 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Under. It came as no surprise that we saw things get sloppy in the season opener in Winnipeg. After all it's been almost two years since these teams played a meaningful game. Injuries are also a concern, with most teams missing several key players after rushing to get the league back up and running. The last time BC played Saskatchewan they lost by a score of 27-19. The Lions have gone under in nine of their last 10 overall, and the under is 12-3-2 in their last 17 games in August. The under is 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings in Saskatchewan. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-05-21 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg UNDER 50 | 6-19 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. It's been almost two years since we've seen a CFL game of any kind, and these teams will play their season opener after a brief training camp on short notice. It's really no surprise that injuries are a concern for both teams, but the Bombers might be even worse off on offense. They will be without their leading rusher Andrew Harris, who is a former MVP, Grey Cup MVP and league rushing leader. The bookmakers might have got caught sleeping a bit here, offering a number over 50 for the season opener. That's especially true because these teams have gone under in 10 STRAIGHT HEAD TO HEAD meetings! GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Hamilton v. Winnipeg UNDER 52 | 12-33 | Win | 100 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WPG@HAM to go Under the total. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tigercats play for the Grey Cup in Calgary tonight, and these two teams sure know how to play defense. The Bombers have held both their opponents to 14 points or fewer in the playoffs, while the Ticats have held their last two opponents to fewer than 20 points. Winnipeg has a big weapon in the backfield, with Andrew Harris who was the CFL's leading rusher this season. We can expect the Bombers to try to get Harris involved early. The under is 20-6 in the last 26 meetings, and they have gone under in each of the last nine head to head meetings. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Edmonton v. Montreal UNDER 50 | Top | 37-29 | Loss | -107 | 51 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on EDM@MTL to go Under the total. Trevor Harris ranks second in the CFL in passing, but he put up big numbers early in the season before struggling down the stretch. In his last four appearances he's thrown more INTs (4) than TDs (3). Edmonton scored just 13 points in a loss to Saskatchewan last week, and they Eskimos have averaged just 17 points per game in their last four games. They do have the CFL's #3 ranked scoring defense behind Hamilton and Saskatchewan. The under is 11-3-1 in the Eskimos last 15 road games, and the last time they played Montreal they lost by a score of 20-10. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-11-19 | Saskatchewan v. Calgary -149 | 28-30 | Win | 100 | 16 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Calgary Stampeders. I bet on the Stamps last week, and here is what I said prior to their game at Montreal: "The Stamps are heading to Montreal hoping to avenge an overtime loss at home to the Als in August, and they have won four straight. It's no coincidence that their winning streak started with the return of starting quarterback Bo Levi-Mitchell, who didn't play in the last game. The Stamps have won six of eight versus Montreal when Mitchell starts, and they are are 18-7-3 ATS in their last 28 games following a bye week. I love this revenge spot for Calgary." While the led 17-10 at halftime, the Als came back and won 21-17. Now they are back home this week hosting the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Calgary is an incredible 58-12 in their last 70 home games. Take CAL. GL, Jesse Schule |

09-21-19 | Winnipeg -134 v. Montreal | Top | 37-38 | Loss | -134 | 57 h 35 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Winnipeg comes into Week 15 with the best record in the CFL (9-3) and they beat Saskatchewan 35-10 in their last game. They come off a bye week, facing a Montreal team playing on six day rest. The Als lost 27-25 at Saskatchewan last Sunday. While Montreal is the second best team in the Eastern Conference, they are just one game above .500, and they have a point differential of just +1. The Bombers get a big boost with the return of their best player this week. Andrew Harris missed the last two games due to a suspension, and he's going to be playing "angry" this week. This just looks like a bad spot for an inferior Montreal team. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
09-02-19 | Toronto +13 v. Hamilton | 27-38 | Win | 100 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Toronto. The Hamilton Tigercats will be a double digit favorite in the Labor Day Classic versus rivals Toronto. The Ticats have the best record in the CFL, but without starting quarterback Jeremaiah Masoli, I don't think they are 12 points better than anyone. Since backup Dane Evans has taken over, the Tabbies have beaten BC twice, but by a combined four points. They scored just 21 points in a win over Ottawa and lost 24-19 to the Riders. Take TOR. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
09-01-19 | Winnipeg v. Saskatchewan -5 | Top | 17-19 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Saskatchewan. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are on top of the Western Conference standings, and they are coming off a big upset win over Edmonton last week. Backup quarterback Chris Streveler was just 7-of-17 for 89 yards without any scores in the win, and those numbers aren't likely going to cut it on the road in Saskatchewan. Already without starting quarterback Matt Nichols, the Bombers will be without leading rusher Andrew Harris tonight, after he tested positive for a banned substance. The Riders defense has looked good during a five game winning streak, and they should be able to shut down this shorthanded Winnipeg offense. Take SASK. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-17-19 | Montreal v. Calgary -6.5 | Top | 40-34 | Loss | -128 | 116 h 6 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Calgary Stampeders. Montreal will have Vernon Adams Jr. back for this road game at Calgary, but he's going up against one of the CFL's best defenses. Calgary leads the league in forced turnovers, with 24 so far this season. Bo Levi Mitchell is expected to see some action here against the Als, but he might be sharing the workload with Nick Arbuckle. The Als offense struggled in a home loss to Saskatchewan last week, gaining just 141 yards in a weather shortened game. It won't get any easier on the road against an even tougher opponent. Take CAL. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-15-19 | BC v. Winnipeg OVER 51 | 16-32 | Loss | -109 | 70 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on BC@WPG to go Over the total. I bet on BC in their last game, a 35-34 loss (but easy cover) at Hamilton. Here is what I said prior to the game: "It's true that fixes on the offensive line take time, but the Lions have now had some time to make adjustments. They come out of their bye week as a double digit dog against Hamilton. The Ticats lost star quarterback Jeremaiah Masoli for the rest of the season, and backup Dane Evans has thrown for 395 yards, two TDs and two INTs on 61.7 percent passing in three games. Hamilton is just 2-2 over their last four games, and all of those games have been close. It seems reasonable to expect the Lions to give them a game here." While the Lions showed some improvement on offense scoring 34 points, their poor defense and special teams cost them in the end. They lost at home to Winnipeg by a score of 33-23 in Week 1, and I expect a similar score here in the rematch. Take Over. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-10-19 | BC +11 v. Hamilton | 34-35 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the BC Lions. My CFL Game of the Year was an easy winner with Saskatchewan beating BC at home 45-18 two weeks ago. Prior to that game I said: "unless the Lions can keep their quarterback upright, they won't be able to compete with anybody. . Reilly has been absolutely crushed this season, as the Lions undersized line can't hold off opponent's pass rush. Reilly has been sacked more than any other QB in the league, and he's limped off the field in each and every game." It's true that fixes on the offensive line take time, but the Lions have now had some time to make adjustments. They come out of their bye week as a double digit dog against Hamilton. The Ticats lost star quarterback Jeremaiah Masoli for the rest of the season, and backup Dane Evans has thrown for 395 yards, two TDs and two INTs on 61.7 percent passing in three games. Hamilton is just 2-2 over their last four games, and all of those games have been close. It seems reasonable to expect the Lions to give them a game here. Take BC. GL, Jesse Schule |

08-08-19 | Calgary v. Winnipeg UNDER 48.5 | 24-26 | Loss | -107 | 22 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CAL@WPG to go Under the total. The best record in the CFL is up for grabs when the Stamps take on the Bombers in Winnipeg Thursday. The Stampeders will be a big underdog here, despite the fact that they come in as winners of five of their last six overall. Calgary has been getting it done with their defense, as the offense has been rather pedestrian with Nick Arbuckle at quarterback. Calgary has gone under in five straight overall and six straight on the road. These teams have only gone over the total once in the last five head to head meetings, and they have failed to go over the total in five straight in Winnipeg. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
08-03-19 | Edmonton +1 v. Calgary | Top | 18-24 | Loss | -105 | 122 h 20 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on the Edmonton Eskimos. The Stamps have won four of their last five games, but they have not looked impressive offensively. Nick Arbuckle has thrown as many picks as he has TDs (2) in his last three starts. He's filling in for starting QB Bo-Levi Mitchell, who is out at least for another week. Trevor Harris comes in leading the CFL in passing, throwing for just shy of 2000 yards on better than 70 percent passing with 10 TDs and 2 picks. The Eskimos are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 versus teams with a winning record. Calgary has failed to cover in five of their last six games overall, and they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 versus teams from the West. I'll take the Eskies as a dog with a huge advantage at quarterback. Take EDM. GL, Jesse Schule |

08-01-19 | Hamilton v. Saskatchewan UNDER 50.5 | Top | 19-24 | Win | 100 | 51 h 34 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on HAM@SASK to go Under the total. The Ticats own the best record in the CFL, and only Winnipeg has allowed fewer points this season than the Ticats. Hamilton is coming off a 23-15 win over the Bombers last week, but they lost their starting QB in that game. Jeremaiah Masoli was ranked second in the CFL in passing prior to the injury. His replacement Dane Evans stepped in and completed just over 50 percent of his passes, with no TDs and an INT in the win over Winnipeg. We can expect a conservative game plan from the Ticats here in Saskatchewan. Masoli isn't the only injured star on Hamilton's offense, Brandon Banks is also out for tonight's game. The Riders have failed to reach the total in five of their last six home games, and the under is 8-3 in the last 11 head to head meetings versus Hamilton. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
07-27-19 | Saskatchewan -3.5 v. BC | Top | 45-18 | Win | 100 | 102 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Saskatchewan. After losing 38-25 at Saskatchewan last week, the sharp money is going to be tempted to take the Lions as a home underdog in a revenge game a week later. The problem with the revenge angle is that unless the Lions can keep their quarterback upright, they won't be able to compete with anybody. They have just one win this season, and it came against the 0-5 Toronto Argos. They actually blew a lead in that game, and missed the potential game winning field goal (a chip shot), only to get lucky and score a single to end the game. Reilly has been absolutely crushed this season, as the Lions undersized line can't hold off opponent's pass rush. Reilly has been sacked more than any other QB in the league, and he's limped off the field in each and every game. It would be a miracle if he manages to stay healthy in this game, let alone the rest of the season. Take SASK. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-20-19 | Edmonton v. Montreal UNDER 54 | Top | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 96 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on EDM@MTL to go Under the total. The Als have been the worst team in the CFL for almost a decade, but things are looking up in Montreal. They come into this home game versus Edmonton as winners of back to back games, and they are now 2-2 on the season. Their defense is playing well, giving up a total of 48 points in wins over Hamilton and Ottawa. The Eskimos are also playing well defensively, in fact only the undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers have allowed fewer points this season. The under is 6-1-1 in the Eskimos last eight road games. The under is 6-2 in the Alouettes last eight games following a straight up win. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-19-19 | Ottawa v. Winnipeg UNDER 56.5 | 1-31 | Win | 100 | 76 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on OTT@WPG to go Under the total. The Bombers are still undefeated, coming off a 48-21 blowout win over Toronto last week. It's important to understand that Toronto is by far the worst team in the CFL, and has conceded 188 points in five games. The Bombers have allowed the fewest points of any team in the league this season, and they face Ottawa's 2nd string quarterback here tonight. The under is 13-6 in the RedBlacks last 19 road games, and they have failed to reach the total in nine of their last 11 in the month of July. The under is 4-1 in the Bombers last five home games. I'll fade this inflated number. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-06-19 | Calgary v. Saskatchewan -200 | 37-10 | Loss | -200 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Saskatchewan Riders. Calgary has dominated the CFL for the majority of the last decade, but after losing several key players on defense this off-season they appear to have lost a step. They were well on their way to an 0-2 start, but staged a miraculous comeback in a 36-32 home win over B.C. last week. The Lions opened up a 22-10 lead in the first half, but suffered a second half collapse. Calgary's defense was lit up in a home loss to Ottawa in Week 1, and now they play their first road game of the season against a Saskatchewan team that has averaged 30 points per game so far. Cody Fajardo has settled in at quarterback for the Riders, completing better than 73 percent of his passes for 856 yards, four TDs and no picks. That's even more impressive when you look at his rushing stats. I expect Calgary to struggle on the road with their backup QB here this week. Take SASK. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on Winnipeg. Both the Blue Bombers and the Redblacks come into Friday's game with a perfect 2-0 record, but I haven't been as impressed by Ottawa. Both their wins came in games decided by four points or less, scoring late in a 32-28 win at Calgary in Week 1 and then just barely hanging on in a 44-41 win over Saskatchewan. They have given up plenty of points, and now they face a Winnipeg team with a bonafide #1 veteran starting QB and the best running back in the CFL. The history certainly favors Winnipeg, who have won four of the last five head to head meetings, and three straight at Ottawa. The Bombers have covered the spread in four straight visits to Canada's capital. The Bombers are also 21-8 ATS in their last 29 road games. I'll take the points. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-04-19 | Hamilton v. Montreal +12.5 | 29-36 | Win | 100 | 18 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Montreal Alouettes. In a 41-10 blowout loss in Hamilton last week, Montreal's defense actually played quite well. They picked off Jeremiah Masoli three times, and an impressive goal line stand kept the game close in the first half. Montreal doesn't get a lot of respect from bettors or bookmakers, and it's easy to understand why. They have lost 15 of their last 20 games, but they are are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. They have covered in four of their last five coming off a loss, and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six versus a winning team. Hamilton on the other hand has failed to cover in seven straight in the month of July. Take MTL. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-01-19 | Toronto v. Saskatchewan UNDER 52.5 | 7-32 | Win | 100 | 41 h 36 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on TOR@SASK to go Under the total. The Riders opened the season with a 23-17 loss at Hamilton, and they held Jeremaiah Masoli to 169 yards and a TD on 17-of-28 passing. That's an impressive showing from their defense when you consider that Masoli was second in the CFL last year in passing yards, and has since lit up the Argos and the Als. Cody Fajardo certainly doesn't rank among the top quarterbacks in the CFL, but he's probably a better option than the argos have at their disposal. These two teams have failed to reach the total in three of the last four head to head meetings and tonight's total is higher than it was in any of those previous games. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-29-19 | BC v. Calgary -10 | Top | 32-36 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 46 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Calgary. The BC Lions looked like Grey Cup contenders when they signed CFL passing leader Mike Reilly this off-season. They head into Week 3 in serious danger of falling to 0-3 on the season. Reilly has struggled in losses to Edmonton and Winnipeg, throwing for more INTs (3) than TDs (2). The Lions defense has been lit up for a combined 72 points in the first two weeks. Calgary is coming off a bye week, and the Stamps will try to bounce back after losing their season opener to Ottawa. The Stampeders are 17-6-3 ATS in their last 26 games following a bye week. The defending Grey Cup champions should have little trouble here at home against a struggling BC team. Take CAL. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-28-19 | Montreal v. Hamilton UNDER 58.5 | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 22 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on MTL@HAM to go Under the total. If anyone was encouraged by the Als 32-25 loss in Week 1, perhaps they should examine the game a little closer. Montreal scored just eight points in the first three quarters, before a late rally that came up short. Keep in mind that this team scored the fewest points in the CFL last year, and they have failed to reach the total in nine of their last 12 road games. The under is 24-4 in their last 28 games in the first month of the season. Hamilton opened the season with a 23-17 win over Saskatchewan, and I think that's a more accurate example of what this team is than last week's 64-14 win over Toronto. The total here is far higher (at least seven points) than it was in the previous 10 head to head meetings. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-27-19 | Edmonton v. Winnipeg -4.5 | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 17 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers Week 1 win on the road at B.C. was impressive, and they have since had a bye week to prepare for their home opener against Edmonton. The Eskimos are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games in June. The Bombers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine home games. The Bombers defense was the second best in the league last season, as only Calgary allowed fewer points. They won six of their nine home games. The Eskimos play on the road for the first time this season, but they lost seven of nine on the road last year. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-22-19 | Hamilton -165 v. Toronto | 64-14 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Hamilton Tiger Cats. The Argos don't have a lot of talent at QB since Ricky Ray retired, handing the reigns to James Franklin, and backup McLeod Bethel-Thompson. They make their season debut at home against a Hamilton team that looked pretty sharp in a Week 1 win over Saskatchewan. Jeremiah Masoli didn't have great numbers in last week's game, but the 30 year old finished second in the CFL in passing last season. He's going up against an Argos defense that ranked dead last in the CFL in 2018. I expect Hamilton to jump all over the Argos in the first half tonight. Take HAM. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-21-19 | BC +165 v. Edmonton | Top | 23-39 | Loss | -100 | 55 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the B.C. Lions. The Lions lost at home in Week 1 to Winnipeg, and QB Mike Reilly didn't look sharp. He threw for 324 yards with a TD and two INTs. Reilly led the CFL in passing in each of the last three seasons, and he should be primed for a better performance here against his former club. Edmonton isn't the defensive powerhouse that Winnipeg is. The Eskimos were lit up by Vernon Adams Jr. in the 4th quarter last week. Tevor Harris had a monster of a game against the Als, but keep in mind that Montreal is by far the worst team in the CFL. I wasn't impressed with Edmonton's win over the Als, and I expect BC to give them a run for their money here in Week 2. Take BC. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-15-19 | Ottawa v. Calgary UNDER 51.5 | 32-28 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on OTT@CAL to go Under the total. The Calgary Stampeders were the best team in the CFL last year, and they have been by far the best team north of the border over the past decade. They open the season at home against Ottawa, who they beat 27-16 in last year's Grey Cup. The Stampeders won all three meetings versus Ottawa last season, and all three of those games went under the total. The Redblacks will come into this game without their starting quarterback, leading rusher and leading receiver from a year ago. The under is 21-5 in Calgary's last 26 games in the month of June, and they have failed to reach the total in eight of their last 11 home games. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-11-18 | BC v. Hamilton UNDER 52 | Top | 8-48 | Loss | -108 | 143 h 57 m | Show |
This is a 10* GOY play on BC@HAM to go Under the total. The B.C. Lions are coming off a 26-9 home loss to Calgary, but they come into Hamilton as winners of three of their last four road games. The one loss during that span came at Hamilton however. While I like B.C. here as the underdog against a Hamilton team that has been hit hard by injuries, I think the better bet is on the total. Nine of the last 10 meetings between these teams saw a total lower than the number listed for this game. It's mid November in Hamilton, and freezing temperatures are in the forecast for Sunday. The under is 9-2-2 in BC's last 13 overall, and 11 of BC's last 16 at Hamilton failed to reach the total. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-03-18 | Winnipeg v. Edmonton -4.5 | Top | 24-33 | Win | 100 | 68 h 0 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Edmonton Eskimos. Edmonton isn't going to play in this season's playoffs, which is quite a surprise given that Mike Reilly finished first in the CFL in passing once again. Reilly and the Eskimos can avoid finishing with a losing record if they can win at home against Winnipeg today. The Bombers should be resting players having already qualified for the playoffs. Winnipeg will either face Saskatchewan or Calgary, but the result of this game doesn't have any bearing on where they play. The Stampeders can clinch first place with a win at BC, which would have them hosting Winnipeg in the West Semi Final. Otherwise they play at Saskatchewan. The key for the Bombers here should be to escape with a healthy roster. The Eskimos have been solid at home, winning six of eight. They should show up with a spirited performance in their season finale. Take EDM. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-02-18 | Toronto +200 v. Ottawa | 9-24 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Toronto Argos. Ottawa comes into it's season finale expected to rest starting QB Trevor Harris, and they have nothing to play for here as they have already clinched a playoff spot. The Argos are one of the league's worst teams, and may be motivated to close out their season on a positive note versus their rivals Ottawa. Toronto has history on it's side, winning three of the last four meetings outright. I sure wouldn't be surprised to see the underdog record an upset in a meaningless game in Ottawa tonight. Take TOR.

This is a 10* play on TOR@MTL to go Under the total. I bet on Montreal last week, and they covered in a loss at Toronto. Here is what I said prior to the game: "Toronto and Montreal are the league's worst teams, each having just three wins this season. The Als have looked like the better team lately though, covering the spread in six of their last eight overall. They looked extremely competitive in a 12-6 home loss to Calgary two weeks ago, and their defense has been solid. Johnny Manziel is still trying to figure out how to succeed in the CFL, but he's shown plenty of promise at times. With Montreal coming off a bye week, getting points in Toronto, I like the Als to keep this one close and maybe even win outright. History certainly favors the visitors, as the Alouettes are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 meetings in Toronto." Both defenses played well last week, and the total landed on 48. Low scoring games have been common in this series, the is under 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings. Take Under.

This is an 8* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers lead the CFL in scoring, and they have also allowed fewer points this season than the Riders. They will host Saskatchewan on Saturday afternoon, and the Riders appear primed to suffer a let down. They were trailing 12-9 at home last week, and Edmonton was driving with 1:37 remaining in the game. Not only did the Eskimos fail to run out the clock, Mike Reilly was picked off allowing the Riders to score a game winning pick-six. The Bombers are coming off a big road win at Ottawa, in a game that they led from start to finish. Matt Nichols threw for 265 yards and three TDs on 75 percent passing, and Andrew Harris ran for 132 yards on 20 carries. This looks like a good spot to back the home team. Take WPG. GL,

This is a 10* play on TOR@BC to go Under the total. The BC Lions are sitting in last place in the West, just a game back of the Edmonton Eskimos. They can move into a tie with Edmonton by beating Toronto at home tonight. The Argos offense ranks second worst in the CFL, scoring just over 21 points per game this season. They scored just 16 points in a loss at Calgary last week. Making matters even worse for Toronto, they lost RB James Wilder Jr in that game. BC has been very solid on defense, ranking 3rd in the CFL in points against. Their offense has been less impressive, especially with Jonathan Jennings at quarterback. The Lions have gone under in seven of their last eight overall, and they have a history of playing low scoring games against Toronto. The under is 21-8 in the last 29 meetings. Take Under.

This is a 10* play on HAM@BC to go Under the total. The B.C. Lions have won back to back games, and they have failed to reach the total in six straight overall. Their success has come due to solid defensive play, and they will need their defense to be great at home tonight. Veteran quarterback Travis Lulay replaced Jonathan Jennings earlier this season, but Lulay is sidelined with a head injury. Jennings doesn't have the accuracy in the passing game that Lulay brings, but he adds a duel threat with his ability to run. He's thrown as many picks (4) as he had TDs in his five games played. Hamilton is also dealing with injuries, including their most explosive player on offense Brandon Banks. We should see a defensive battle in Vancouver on Saturday night. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Bombers have lost three straight, although two of those three losses came on the road at Calgary and Saskatchewan. They have a revenge match against the Riders this week, after losing 31-23 at Saskatchewan last week. Winnipeg held a three point lead at halftime in Ottawa last week, but the Redblacks rallied to score 14 points in the fourth quarter. This is a must win game for the Bombers, and I expect them to get off to a good start here in front of the home crowd. Winnipeg is still the highest scoring team in the CFL, and they put up a whopping 48 points in a 20-point win the last time they played at home versus the Riders. The Blue Bombers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss, and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |

09-02-18 | Winnipeg v. Saskatchewan OVER 54 | 23-31 | Push | 0 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WPG@SASK to go Over the total. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are the highest scoring team in the CFL, with 315 points in 10 games. That's 100 points more than Saskatchewan has scored in their nine games. The Riders come in playing their best football though, just two weeks removed from a 40-27 home win over Calgary. History tells us we can expect a high scoring game between these two teams. Winnipeg has gone over in 15 of it's last 20 road games, and eight of it's last 10 meetings with the Riders. The two teams have gone over in eight straight meetings in Saskatchewan. The last time these teams plays, the bookmakers set a total of 60. The Bombers won that game by a score of 48-28. I think the total for tonight's game could be a lot higher. Take Over. GL,

This is a 10* play on the B.C. Lions. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are riding high after upsetting Calgary at home on Sunday. The Stamps have been the best team in the CFL for years, and they were previously undefeated this season. As well as Saskatchewan has played recently, I think they may be a bit overvalued here this week in what appears to be a natural let down spot. The Lions are coming off a loss at Toronto in a game that they probably should have won. They return home where they are still unbeaten this year, and they have a history of beating up on Saskatchewan. The riders are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight versus BC, and they have failed to cover in four straight at BC. Take the Leos. GL,

This is a 5* play on EDM@HAM to go Under the total. The Eskimos will be looking to avenge a 38-21 home loss to the Ticats in Week 2 when they play at Hamilton tonight. This matchup features two of the top three passers in the league. Mike Reilly has led the CFL in passing for three straight seasons, and nothing has changed this year. Jeremiah Masoli is enjoying a breakout season, ranking 3rd in the CFL with 2,465 passing yards. So everyone is expecting tonight's game to be a shootout, and because of that the total is astronomically high. A little too high if you ask me. Hamilton actually ranks 2nd in the CFL in scoring defense, and the Ticats have gone under in 39 of their last 54 home games. These teams have failed to reach the total in five of the last six meetings in Hamilton. Take Under. GL,

This is a 10* play on MTL@EDM to go Over the total. Johnny Manziel played much better in his second CFL start for Montreal than he did in his debut. He threw for 168 yards on 16-of-26 passing, but the Alouettes lost 24-17 at Ottawa. Trevor Harris threw for 487 yards on 44-of-54 passing. Montreal owns the worst defense in the CFL, allowing well over 30 points per game. Edmonton is a huge favorite in this home game against the Als, and quarterback Mike Reilly is expected to have a big game. Reilly leads the CFL in passing, which comes as no surprise. He's led the league in passing for three straight seasons. Edmonton's defense ranks last in the West, and only two teams in the CFL have given up more points (Toronto and Montreal). These teams met three weeks ago in Montreal, and the Eskimos won 44-23. Reilly threw for 415 yards and four TDs in that game. We should expect a similar scoreline here in Edmonton. Take Over. GL,

The Hamilton Tigercats are coming off a 50-11 win over Montreal, ending a three game losing streak. They had previous lost back to back games to Saskatchewan, and lost at home to Ottawa. Now they play on the road against the CFL's top offense, and Winnipeg is coming off a bye week. Andrew Harris has been running over opposing defenses, and Matt Nichols is back at quarterback for the Bombers. This appears to be a let down spot for the Ticats, who really don't match up well against one of the top teams from the superior West Division. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 6* play on the BC Lions. B.C. has plenty of reason for optimism coming off a bye week. Veteran quarterback Travis Lulay has stepped in and thrown for over 300 yards in back to back games. The Lions will be a double digit underdog in Calgary this week, and the Stampeders remain undefeated. Calgary gave up a season high 22 points in a win over the Riders in Saskatchewan last week, and this could be a bit of a let down spot for the league's best team. The Lions have gone over in four straight road games, and the over is 4-1 in their last five when coming off a bye week. These teams have a history of playing high scoring games, going over the total in seven of the last 10 meetings in Calgary. Calgary is going to miss it's top wide receiver, and that could prevent them from covering such an inflated line. Take BC. GL,Jesse Schule |

It's not going to be easy for the former Heisman winner, playing for the league's worst team. The Als rank dead last in the CFL in scoring defense, allowing an average of 32 points per game. The Hamilton Tiger Cats have struggled on defense lately, giving up a combined 52 points in losses to Saskatchewan and Ottawa the last two weeks. Jeremiah Masoli ranks second in the CFL in passing yards, and first in completion percentage. Despite coming off back to back losses, Masoli has thrown for over 300 yards in five of his six starts this season. He should be primed for a big game here against the league's worst secondary. I expect to see both quarterbacks light it up here in matchup between two former teammates. Take Over. GL, Jesse Schule

This is an 8* play on SASK@EDM to go Over the total. The Riders come into Edmonton off a home loss to Calgary last week, but it's fair to say that Saskatchewan is trending in a positive direction. They scored 22 points in the loss to the Stampeders, the most allowed by Calgary this year. They beat Hamilton by a score of 31-20 in Week 6, and the offense is firing on all cylinders heading into tonight's game in Edmonton. The Eskimos defense has looked vulnerable, in fact only Saskatchewan has allowed more points than Edmonton among West Division teams. Mike Reilly leads the CFL in passing for the third straight year, and you have to like his chances of putting up big numbers at home against the Riders. The over is 6-2 in Edmonton's last 8 overall, and they have scored over 30 points in six of their last eight versus Saskatchewan. Take Over. GL,

This is a 5* play on CAL@SASK to go Over the total. The Calgary Stampeders come into Saskatchewan with a perfect 5-0 record and a defense that has allowed less than 10 points per game. They have had a pretty soft schedule though, as all five of their wins have come against teams from the weaker East Division. Saskatchewan has won back to back games, scoring a combined 49 points in a home and home series versus Hamilton. Brandon Bridge struggled in his first two starts, but he's completed 28-of-35 attempts in his last two games. All five of Calgary's games this season have gone under the total, and they have failed to reach the total in five straight against the Riders. Those trends haven't gone unnoticed by bookmakers, as the total for this game is significantly lower than it has been in any of the previous nine head to head meetings, and lower than in any game the Stampeders have played this season. This looks like a possible over-correction, giving us a value bet on the over. Take Over. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Argos were crushed in last week's home loss to Winnipeg, and the final score of 38-20 was actually quite flattering. In reality the game was far more one sided than that. Toronto only managed to gain a total of 173 yards in the game. Backup quarterback James Franklin threw for 151 yards and an INT on 21-of-36 passing. The Bombers ran all over Toronto's defense, with Andrew Harris rushing for 161 yards and a TD on 27 carries. Making matters worse for Toronto, their starting running back James Widler Jr. was injured during practice this week. I can't see the Boatmen hanging with the Bombers in Winnipeg. Take WPG. GL,

This is a 5* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers led 17-0 at halftime in their last game, but they ended up turning the ball over five times and losing by a score of 20-17 in Vancouver. Matt Nichols was picked off three times, and he's going to need to be better here in Toronto. He's a savvy veteran that threw for 4,472 yards with 28 TDs and just 8 INTs last season. He also has the benefit of leaning on the best running back in the CFL. Andrew Harris ran for 139 yards and two TDs on just 13 carries in the loss to the Lions. The Argos backup quarterback James Franklin has struggled since coming in to replace Ricky Ray, and Toronto is tied for dead last in the CFL in scoring with Montreal. I like the Bombers to bounce back after a tough loss last week. Take WPG. GL,

This is a 5* play on the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Ticats lost at Saskatchewan by a score of 18-13 two weeks ago, and it was their fourth consecutive loss to the Riders. They seek revenge at home this Thursday night, but the bookmakers are asking them to cover a double-digit spread. With Johnny Manziel on the bench, Jeremiah Masoli will be gunning for a CFL record 10th straight start with at least 300 yards passing. Masoli threw for 333 yards in the loss to Saskatchewan two weeks ago, but he completed just 53 percent of his passes (23-of-43), and threw an INT without getting into the endzone. Brandon Bridge has really struggled since replacing Zack Collaros, but the Riders backup has proven in the past that he can play. He threw for 10 TDs and four INTs while playing in 12 games last season. I think the Ticats are getting a little too much love here after starting the season 2-2. Take SASK. GL,

The Lions have made a change at quarterback, and I think the veteran Travis Lulay will be a significant upgrade from the younger Jonathan Jennings. The Lions have allowed opponents to average over 30 points per game this season, and they face a Winnipeg offense that leads the CFL in scoring. These two teams have gone over the total in seven of the last eight meetings, and the one game that went under had a total higher than the number we see in today's game. Take Over. GL,

They have owned the league's best record for several consecutive seasons, and nothing has changed here in 2018. They rank first in scoring defense, as they did last season by a country mile. The Redblacks are ranked second in the CFL in scoring defense, and they played the Stampeders pretty tight in Calgary a couple weeks ago. Bo Levi Mitchell only completed 54 percent of his passes for 251 yards with two TDs and an INT in a 24-14 home win. Trevor Harris had a much tougher night, throwing for just 135 yards and a pick on 13-of-29 passing.

This is a 10* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Winnipeg was dealt a cruel blow this pre-season when they lost starting quarterback Matt Nichols due to injury. Rookie Chris Streveler stepped up and delivered an admirable performance in his CFL debut in Week 1, throwing for 178 yards and thee TDs on 15-of-28 passing. The Bombers also have one of the league's best running backs in Andrew Harrris, who rushed for 77 yards on 14 carries in the loss to the Eskimos. The Bombers offense was clicking on all cylinders in a Week 2 win over Montreal, scoring a whopping 56 points in a 56-10 win at Montreal. The Lions offense managed just 22 points in a home win over Montreal in Week 1. B.C. quarterback Jonathan Jennings has failed to throw for 200 yards in both the Lions two games, and he was just 13-of-24 for 199 yards and an INT in last week's loss at Edmonton. History is certainly on the side of the home team this week, as the Lions are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings. The Lions are also 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games, and they face a Bombers team that is 8-0 ATS when coming off a loss.

This is a 10* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers come into their Week 3 matchup versus Hamilton with the CFL's leading offense, and a league best seven passing TDs. They are doing it with rookie quarterback Chris Streveler, who threw for 246 yards and three TDs on 22-of-28 passing in just his second career start against Montreal last week. The Bombers were the second best team in the CFL behind Calgary last season, and they look poised to be a contender here this season. They have plenty of playmakers on both sides of the ball, and they look good getting a handful of points on the road at Hamilton. While the Tiger Kittens looked like world beaters last week, I think that says a lot more about a struggling Edmonton defense. I am not a believer in Jeremiah Masoli, who has been a below average quarterback in the league since 2013. He's mostly been a backup to Zach Collaros, who is now with the Roughriders in Saskatchewan. Winnipeg has covered the spread in three of the last four meetings between these two teams, and they have won outright in three of their last four visits to Hamilton. Take WPG. GL,

This is an 8* play on the Calgary Stampeders. Calgary has finished first in the CFL in each of the last two seasons, with a combined record of 28-6-2. The Stampeders defense allowed just 349 points last season, over 100 points less than any other team in the league. It was the Toronto Argos that upset Calgary in the Grey Cup last year on a snowy day in Ottawa. The Stampeders have a chance to avenge that loss here in Week 2 of the regular season, and this time the weather isn't going to be a factor. Veteran quarterback Ricky Ray struggled against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 1, throwing for just 233 yards and an INT on 22-of-37 passing. That same Riders defense allowed 40 points in a loss to Ottawa this week. I expect Calgary to completely outclass the Argos on both sides of the ball here in their home opener. Take CAL. GL,

This is an 8* play on the Ottawa Redblacks.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders ended the Redblacks season in last year's Eastern Conference Semi Final. None of the players that scored for Saskatchewan return for tonight's rematch. Quarterbacks Vernon Adams and Kevin Glenn are no longer with the team, and running back Marcus Thigpen is serving a suspension. The new man under center for the Riders is Zach Collaros, who comes over from Hamilton. His career has been plagued by injuries, but I have never been a fan of Collaros. He's certainly not of the same caliber of Trevor Harris, who has led the CFL in TD passes in two of the last three seasons. Harris is healthy this year, and that's bad news for opposing defenses. The Riders defense was the difference in a home win over the Argos, but a road game against a high flying Ottawa offense could be a tougher test. Take OTT. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-15-18 | Toronto -123 v. Saskatchewan | Top | 19-27 | Loss | -123 | 85 h 40 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Toronto Argos. The defending Grey Cup champs start the season on the road in Saskatchewan. The Riders won two of three in the season series last year, but Toronto won the last meeting at home by a score of 25-21. Former Tigercat Zach Collaros steps in at quarterback for the Riders, and I am not a big fan of his work. Last year in Hamilton he started nine games, throwing eight TD passes and seven picks. He's going to have a tough time out-dueling the veteran Ricky Ray. The future Hall of Famer is fourth all-time in passing yards with 60,429 and fifth all-time in passing touchdowns with 324. He finished second in the CFL in passing last year, just behind Edmonton's Mike Reilly. The Argos are coached by former Chicago Bears boss Mark Trestman, who won a championship in his first season with the team. It's reasonable to expect Toronto to be better this year than they were last year, and I am not sure the same can be said for Saskatchewan. Take TOR. GL,

This is an 8* play on the Edmonton Eskimos. Both the Eskimos and the Blue Bombers were 12-6 last season, and both teams were 6-3 at home. The Bombers begin the 2018 season without starting quarterback Matt Nichols, who is expected to miss at least six weeks with a knee injury. They turn to a rookie with no professional experience, and Chris Streveler was just 3-of-9 for 44 yards with a TD and an INT in his final game of the pre-season. The Eskimos have Mike Reilly under center, and he led the CFL in passing with 5,830 yards and 30 TDs last season. Edmonton is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games, while the Bombers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games in the month of June. Take EDM. GL, Jesse Schule

This is a 10* play on UNDER in the Grey Cup. The Calgary Stampeders were by far the best defensive team in the CFL this season, and I like their chances of completely shutting down Ricky Ray here in the Grey Cup. The Stamps won both games during the regular season, and they knocked Ricky Ray out of a 41-24 win at Toronto. Calgary won by a score of 23-7 at home just a few weeks later. With freezing temperatures and wind and snow in the forecast, we should expect a low scoring game here in Ottawa. The Stamps have gone under in three of their last four overall, and these two teams have failed to reach the total in four of the last six head to head meetings. Calgary has gone under in four of it's last five road games, and six of it's last seven versus a team with a winning record. These two teams ranked 1st and 2nd in quarterback sacks this season.

This is a 10* play on EDM@SASK to go UNDER the total.
It's no surprise that in the final week of the CFL season, scoring is down. Both Friday games saw fewer than 50 points combined, and points should be hard to come by in a snow storm in Regina. Neither of these teams saw a combined 50 points in last week's games, with the Riders defeating Montreal 37-12, and Edmonton beating Calgary by a score of 29-20. Both teams have recently bolstered their backfield, with a pair of start running backs. C.J. Gable and Trent Richardson have each played a big role in the success of their team. The winner of this game will play Winnipeg in the Western Conference Semi Final, however the consolation prize isn't too bad either. The loser will play at either Toronto or Ottawa in the Eastern Conference (Crossover) Semi Final. Playing an Eastern Conference team is arguably an easier matchup, as Winnipeg has four more wins (12) than either Toronto or Ottawa (8). These teams have failed to reach the total in five of the last seven meetings in Saskatchewan, and the Riders have gone under in six of their last seven overall. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

The weather in Canada in October is a lot different than it is early in the CFL season. As B.C. Lions head coach Wally Buono says: "when the leaves change color, it's time to run the ball more". The Eskimos haven't been very successful running the ball this season, but they've recently signed RB C.J. Gable who ran for 157 yards and two TDs in a loss to Toronto last week. The Eskimos beat the Als 23-19 earlier this season, and Montreal has failed to reach the total in six of it's last eight home games. The Als have also gone under in seven of their last eight games in the month of October. Montreal ranks dead last in the CFL in scoring, and has failed to score 20 points in five straight games.

This is a 10* play on the Edmonton Eskimos.
Edmonton is well rested coming off a bye week, and I like the Eskimos to lay a whupping on Winnipeg at home on Saturday. This Edmonton team started the season with seven straight wins, but has since dropped five straight. Two of those losses came to league leaders Calgary, and they played three of those five games on the road. Injuries have been an issue for Edmonton, but having an extra week to prepare for the Bombers should serve them well. QB Mike Reilly leads the league in passing with 3,949 yards with 20 TDs and 10 INTs. Edmonton has won eight of the last 10 meetings between the two teams, covering the spread in seven of those 10 games. The Eskimos are also 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games coming off a bye week.

This is a 10* play on BC@CAL to go UNDER the total.
The Lions are coming off a 41-18 home win over Montreal, and quarterback Jonathon Jennings threw for 295 yards and two TDs on 22-of-29 passing in the victory. It was a big game for Jennings, who had been benched in favor of veteran Travis Lulay after a poor start to the season. Jennings had thrown for just two TDs and eight INTs in his previous four appearances. One of those games was a 21-17 home loss to Calgary. He was picked off twice in that game, throwing for 240 yards and a TD on 26-of-38 passing. Calgary has the best defense in the CFL, and they come in riding a seven game win streak. They have allowed opponents to average just nine points over their last four home games. These two teams have failed to reach the total in five of the last seven meetings, and I expect another low scoring battle here tonight. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers lead the CFL in scoring, and they come into this Sunday's game at Saskatchewan riding a five game winning streak. They have won six of their last seven overall, and their only loss during that span came by a score of 45-42 at the B.C. Lions. They won a thriller at Saskatchewan earlier this season, by a score of 43-40. After losing four of their first six games, the Riders have won back to back games in blowout fashion. They might have caught the Lions and the Eskimos at a good time though. Edmonton has been dealing with a staggering amount of injuries, while B.C. couldn't get anything going offensively with Jonathon Jennings at quarterback. Winnipeg has won three of their last four visits to Regina, and I like the visitors getting points here on Sunday. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Bombers have won four straight, and their last victory came at home versus the league leading Edmonton Eskimos. Montreal is coming off an ugly 38-6 loss at Toronto. Darian Durant had a rough game, throwing for just 93 yards and an INT on 14-of-27 passing. Montreal's defense had no answer for Ricky Ray, who threw for 377 yards and four TDs, completing over 80 percent of his passes. I don't think home field is going to be enough for the ALs here this week, facing one of the league's hottest teams. Montreal has failed to cover in 11 of their last 16 home games, while the Bombers have been a good bet on the road. Winnipeg is 14-3 ATS in it's last 17 road games. The Bombers won 32-18 at Montreal last year, and I expect more of the same here on Thursday. Take WPG. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on the Toronto Argonauts.
The Argos will have a chance to avenge last week's 21-9 loss at Montreal when they host the ALs on Sunday. Playing without quarterback Ricky Ray, the Argos offense couldn't get anything going last week. Neither Cody Fajardo or Jeff Mathews had any success moving the ball in Montreal, but Toronto's defense was able to keep the game close. Ray is set to return tonight, and he comes in leading the CFL in yards per game. In his last full game, he threw for 368 yards with three TDs and no INTs on 28-of-38 passing. The Argos won their last home game versus Montreal by a score of 30-17, and I expect a similar result here on Sunday. The Als have yet to win on the road this season, and only the winless Hamilton Tigercats have scored fewer points. Take TOR. GL, Jesse Schule

This is an 8* play on the Calgary Stampeders.
The B.C. Lions had won three of four games with veteran Travis Lulay at quarterback, but last week they welcomed back Jonathon Jennings. It ended in disaster, with Jennings throwing four interceptions and completing less than half of his passes in a 41-8 loss at Saskatchewan. Despite his poor play, head coach Wally Buono has said he will stick with Jennings here in this week's home game against Calgary. The Stampeders boast the CFL's best defense, making this a tough spot for a struggling quarterback coming back from a long layoff. The last time Jennings played the Stampeders was the 2016 Western Conference Final, and he threw for 206 yards with a 1 TD an 1 INT on 17-of-24 passing in a 42-15 loss. The Stamps led 32-0 at halftime in that game. I am expecting Jennings to continue to struggle here against the league's best team, especially in the first half. Take CAL. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on the Toronto Argos. Toronto is sitting in first place in the East, and they play at second place Montreal tonight. The Argos lost starting quarterback Ricky Ray in last week's loss to Calgary, and they will start second stringer Jeff Mathews this week. The 25 year old Mathews has starting experience, and I think the bookmakers have overreacted by making the ALs such a big favorite here. Montreal has scored just 141 points in six games, and only the winless Hamilton Tigercats have scored fewer. The ALs two wins this season have come by a total of eight points, yet they are asked to win this game by double digits. The Argos are solid defensively, and last week against Calgary they managed six sacks on Bo Levi Mitchell. The Argos have covered the spread in five of their last seven trips to Montreal, while the ALs are just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games. Take TOR. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Ottawa Redblacks. The Eskimos come into Week 8 with a perfect 6-0 record, but they've lost a ton of starters due to injury during that run. They have also been getting a bit lucky in close games, with five of their six wins coming by less than a touchdown. The Redblacks on the other hand have not been very fortunate, they have five losses by four points or less. They opened the season with a 31-31 home draw versus the Calgary Stampeders, and then lost a 43-39 thriller at Calgary in Week 2. This team is better than it's 1-5 record would indicate, and they have won three of their last four versus Edmonton. The Eskimos have only covered in one of the last five meetings between the two teams. This just looks like a terrible spot for a banged up Eskies team, facing a hungry Ottawa team desperate to get back on track. Take OTT. GL, Jesse Schule |

The Lions ranked first in the CFL in several defensive categories earlier this season, but a handful of injuries to key starters have really taken a toll on BC's secondary. They were lit up for 412 yards and two TDs by Mike Reilly in a 37-26 loss at Edmonton last week, and they gave up 42 points in a home win over Winnipeg the previous week. The good news for B.C. is that Travis Lulay is getting it done at quarterback. The veteran (and former league MVP) has thrown for over 1000 yards and seven TDs while starting three games. The Riders are coming off a 28-27 win over the Argos, and it was the third time in five games this season that they scored 30+ points. We should see another barn burner in Vancouver Saturday.

This is a 10* play on BC@EDM to go OVER the total. Injuries have taken their toll on the B.C. Lions, and they come into this Friday's game in Edmonton with backup quarterback Travis Lulay expected to start in place of the injured Jonathon Jennings. The offense hasn't missed a beat under Lulay the last two weeks, scoring a total of 86 points in wins over Hamilton and Winnipeg. Prior to the game at Hamilton, the Lions owned the top rated defense in the CFL. They are thin in the secondary after several key injuries, and they've been lit up for 68 points in their last two games. Mike Reilly threw for 315 yards and two TDs in a 30-27 win at B.C. in Week 1. The Eskimos are coming off a high scoring, come from behind win at Hamilton by a score of 31-28. I am expecting a real barn burner here between the top two teams in the league. Take OVER.

This is an 8* play on the B.C. Lions. The Lions lost their home opener to the Edmonton Eskimos in a close game. Keep in mind that Edmonton looks pretty good with a 4-0 record so far this season. Since that game B.C. has gone out and won three straight road games, and they look to earn their first home victory tonight against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The bookmakers have adjusted the line with the news that Lions starting quarterback Jonathon Jennings will be sidelined due to injury. The fact is, there is really no dropoff with Travis Lulay under center. Lulay threw for 436 yards and three TDs in last week's win over Hamilton. The Lions defense ranks top in the CFL, while Winnipeg has allowed more points per game than any other team in the West. I don't expect this game to be close. Take B.C. GL, Jesse Schule
