Calgary Stampeders at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Calgary Stampeders at Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (4-12-1) and Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-7-1) meet for a Week 21 matchup Saturday at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TSN / CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders were unable to qualify for the postseason, so this will be the final game of their season. Calgary was crushed 42-20 at Hamilton last week, and the Stamps are 0-8-1 straight up (SU) while going 1-8 against the spread (ATS) during the 9-game span.

The losing skid includes a 37-29 win by Saskatchewan in Calgary back in Week 16, covering as a 3-point favorite as the Over (49) connected.

The Roughriders have won 4 in a row, while also covering each of those games. Saskatchewan has scored 28 or more points in 4 straight games, too.

Stampeders at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 32, Stampeders 19

Moneyline

The Roughriders (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a standalone wager. If you were to toss this into a multi-leg parlay, that would mitigate the risk somewhat.

PASS.

Against the spread

SASKATCHEWAN -3.5 (-115) is worth a look as they close out the regular season.

Calgary +3.5 (-105) has posted an 0-8-1 SU record and 1-8 ATS mark in the past 9 games since Aug. 4, including an 8-point loss to Saskatchewan Sept. 20.

On the flip side, the Roughriders have covered 4 in a row, using their high-powered offense to get the job done.

Over/Under

OVER 49.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at the most.

In this series, the Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 meetings, while the Over has connected in the past 3 meetings at Mosaic Stadium.

The Stampeders have cashed the Over in 7 of the past 10 games, including the Week 16 meeting in Calgary.

For Saskatchewan, the Under and Over have alternated in each of the past 11 outings, so tread lightly.

Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 20 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (4-11-1) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-10) meet for a Week 18 matchup Friday at Tim Horton’s Field in Hamilton. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (CBSSN/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders failed to qualify for a postseason spot in the West Division, and they will join the Edmonton Elks on the couch for the playoffs. It’s the first time since 1945 that both teams from the province of Alberta have missed the CFL playoffs.

The Stamps have the worst record in the CFL, and a loss would clinch the bottom spot in the league for the season.

Calgary hasn’t won a lot of games this season, but it picked up a 32-24 victory as a 1-point favorite at home on June 7 as the Over (44.5) easily cashed.

The Stamps have lost 3 in a row, while going 0-7-1 in the past 8 outings. They’re also 1-7 against the spread (ATS) in the 8-game span. The Ti-Cats made a run with 4 straight wins from Weeks 13-17, while covering 5 in a row from Aug. 23-Sept. 27, but a 31-10 loss to Winnipeg last week was the last nail in Hamilton’s coffin.

Stampeders at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 32, Stampeders 19

Moneyline

The Tiger-Cats (-225) will set you back more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s too much risk for not enough reward.

Both of these teams are eliminated from the CFL postseason, so this game means nothing but pride. Hamilton has been playing much better lately, but this price is just too high.

PASS.

Against the spread

HAMILTON -4.5 (-110) is the play in this battle between non-playoff teams.

The Tiger-Cats have won 4 of the past 5 games, while going 5-1 ATS. They’re playing great football, even though it’s basically building momentum for next season, since there will be no postseason.

There is risk, as this is just the 2nd time Hamilton has been a favorite, and it lost in Ottawa in Week 4, but Calgary is 1-7 ATS in the past 8 outings.

Over/Under

UNDER 50.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed in 2 in a row, and 3 of the past 4 games for the Stamps. They’ve scored 19 or fewer points in 4 of the past 5 outings.

The Ti-Cats cashed low last week, halting a 4-game run to the Over.

Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders Week 19 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Week 19 continues Saturday with the Edmonton Elks (5-11) on the road taking on the Calgary Stampeders (4-10-1). Kickoff from McMahon Stadium is at 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Elks have lost 3 straight games. They are coming off a 28-24 home loss to Saskatchewan last Friday, failing to cover the 3-point spread as underdogs. The Over (51.5) cashed in.

The Stamps are mired in a 7-game winless streak in which they are 0-6-1. They are coming off a 35-12 road loss to BC, failing to cover the 7-point spread as underdogs. The Under (54) cashed in.

Edmonton is 2-0 against Calgary this season, winning 35-20 on Sept. 2 in Calgary and 37-16 5 days later in Edmonton.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 34, Stampeders 24

Moneyline

The Stamps have averaged only 19.8 points per game over their last 5 and have not surpassed 20 points in either game against the Elks.

The Elks put up 35 and 37 points in their 2 previous meetings with the Stamps this season. They have scored 27 or more in 7 of their last 10 games.

Calgary has allowed 31 or more in 6 of their last 7 games, all losses.

BET ELKS (-115)

Against the spread

With only a 1.5-point spread and slightly better odds at -105, you are better off just picking the moneyline win for the favorites because it allows for the 1-point win as well.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both meetings this season had 53 or more total points.

Four of Edmonton’s last 5 games have cleared 51 total points.

Five of the last 7 for Calgary have surpassed the projected total for this game.

BET OVER 51.5 (-105).

Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions Week 18 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (4-9-1) and BC Lions (7-8) meet for a Week 18 matchup Friday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders are winless in the past 6 games, going 0-5-1 straight up (SU), with a lone tie in Week 15 against Montreal as the only bright spot. Calgary cashed as a 6-point underdog against the defending champs at home. It is coming off a bye, last playing at home in a 37-29 loss to Saskatchewan in Week 16.

The Stamps are also 1-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 outings, while the Over is 6-1 across the past 7 games.

These teams last played in Calgary, with the Stamps eking out a 25-24 win as 4.5-point underdogs as the Under (53.5) connected in Week 7. In the most recent meeting in Vancouver, the Lions posted a 26-17 win as an 8-point favorite as the Under (51) cashed.

BC suffered a 32-29 OT loss at home against Hamilton last time out, falling outright as a 7-point favorite as the Over (54.5) cashed. The Lions are 1-6 SU/ATS in the past 7 games as favorites. The Under is 6-3 across the past 9 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Stampeders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 26, Stampeders 22

Moneyline

The Lions (-375) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward, especially since they’ve won just twice in the previous 9 outings.

For the Lions (+290), the risk is great, too, as they’re 0-5-1 SU across the past 6 outings.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

CALGARY +7.5 (-110) is a strong play catching the points. The Stamps are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games as underdogs, but the Lions -7.5 (-110) are just 2-7 ATS in the previous 9 contests, and they cannot be trusted.

The Lions are 5-2 SU/ATS in the past 7 meetings in this series, and 7-3 SU/ATS across the past 10 battles.

Over/Under

UNDER 53.5 (-115) is worth a look in this Western battle.

While the Over has cashed in 6 of the past 7 games for the Stamps, the Under has hit in each of the 2 encounters with the Lions this season.

The total has gone low in 6 of the past 9 games for the Lions, while going 9-5 in the previous 14 outings.

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders Week 16 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-7-1) and Calgary Stampeders (4-8-1) meet Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Roughriders are 0-6-1 straight up (SU) and 2-5 against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games. They dropped back-to-back games to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers before their Week 15 bye. After losing 35-33 as a 2.5-point home favorite Sept. 1, they lost 26-21 as a 2.5-point road underdog Sept. 7 — the Over/Under (O/U) went 1-1 in the home-and-home set.

The Stampeders covered as 6-point underdogs in a 19-19 tie with the visiting Montreal Alouettes Saturday with the Under (49.5) hitting. Calgary is 0-4-1 SU and 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.

The Stampeders went 2-1 SU and ATS in 3 meetings with the Roughriders last season, with the O/U going 2-1. In their most recent meeting Oct. 13, 2023, Calgary covered as a 3.5-point home favorite in a 26-19 win as the Under (48.5) cashed.

Roughriders at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 30, Stampeders 26

Moneyline

The ROUGHRIDERS (-150) are winless in their last 7 games, but they’re still favored on the road over a Calgary team that has produced similar results as of late. This line was -155 Tuesday, so while a little bit of money has come in on Calgary, the market still acknowledges that Saskatchewan is clearly the better team.

The Stampeders won the final 2 meetings between these teams last year, but Roughriders QB Trevor Harris was forced to leave the July 15 game with a knee injury and didn’t play in the Oct. 13 meeting. Harris only played 1 meeting last year from start to finish, a 29-26 OT win for the Roughriders as 2-point road underdogs June 24.

BET ROUGHRIDERS (-150).

Against the spread

I have no interesting in laying 2.5 points on the road with a team that is winless in its last 7 games. These teams have played each other close recently, with the average margin of victory being just 4.0 points over the last 3 meetings — not enough to motivate me to lay 2.5.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1 in Calgary’s last 6 games, with the Stampeders allowing an average of 30.7 points per game. The concern here is whether or not Calgary can score enough points to help the Over hit, but Saskatchewan’s defense has also struggled recently, giving up 26 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games.

Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders Week 15 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Week 15 schedule concludes Saturday night with the Montreal Alouettes (10-2) on the road facing the Calgary Stampeders (4-8). Kickoff from McMahon Stadium is at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

Montreal has the best record in the CFL and has clinched a playoff berth but is coming off a loss that snapped a 5-game winning streak. The Alouettes lost last week 37-23 at home to BC as 3.5-point favorites. The Over (49) cashed in.

The Stamps have lost 4 straight games and 2 in a row to Edmonton. Last week, they lost to the Elks 37-16 on the road, failing to cover the 4.5-point spread as underdogs. The Over (51) cashed in.

Alouettes at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 31, Stampeders 20

Moneyline

Montreal beat Calgary in July at home 30-26.

The Stamps have gone 2-6 since then. They have allowed 31 or more in all 4 games of their skid, allowing an average of 35.5 per game.

Montreal is undefeated on the road (5-0), but Calgary is 4-2 at home. The only losses came after 5-game winning streaks.

Seems far-fetched to think they will lose 2 in a row, but there is no reason to bet them at -250.

PASS.

Against the spread

Five of Montreal’s wins have been by 4 or fewer points.

Four of the Stamps’ last 5 losses were by double figures. They have failed to cover the spread in their last 5 losses.

BET ALOUETTES -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Three of the last 4 for the Alouettes have had totals of 50 or more.

Their 1st meeting this season had 56 total points.

The Stamps’ last 5 games have all hit the Over with at least 50 points.

Stampeders at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 37, Stampeders 23

Moneyline

The Elks (-184) are hot, winning 4 of their last 5, while the Stamps have lost 3 straight and 4 of 5.

Calgary is winless on the road this season, while 3 of Edmonon’s 4 wins this season have been at home.

The Elks have put up 33 or more points in 4 of their last 5 games, while the Stamps have scored fewer than 30 in 6 straight. They have allowed over 30 points in 4 of their last 5 games, including 3 straight.

I like the home team, but at -184 odds, it isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Stamps have not covered the spread in their last 4 losses. Of their 7 losses, 6 have been by 4 or more points. They are 6-5 ATS.

The Elks are 8-4 ATS overall this season and have covered the spread in 5 straight games. All 4 of their wins have been by double digits.

BET ELKS -3.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Calgary’s last 4 games and 6 of their last 8 have had totals of more than 50 points.

Four of Edmonton’s last 6 have had more than 50 total points.

The Elks’ average total is 56.2 points this season.

Analyzing Monday’s Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (3-8) and Calgary Stampeders (4-6) meet Monday for a Week 13 matchup at McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Elks suffered a 21-17 loss in Montreal in Week 12, but Edmonton covered as a 7-point underdog as the Under (51) cashed. Edmonton has covered a season-high 4 consecutive games, while the Over/Under has alternated in each of the past 4 outings.

The Stampeders suffered a 31-29 loss as 3-point favorites at home in Week 11 prior to the team’s bye week. Calgary is just 1-3 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) across the past 4 contests. The Over has hit in 3 in a row.

This is the 1st meeting of the season between these provincial rivals. Edmonton won the most recent matchup at home Sept. 9, 2023, but Calgary is 6-1 SU in the past 7 meetings while covering 3 in a row and 5 of the past 7 in the series. The Over is 7-2 in the past 9 meetings dating back to Sept. 7, 2019.

Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 29, Elks 25

Moneyline

CALGARY (-142) is worth a look as a moderate favorite in the 1st installment of this provincial rivalry.

The Stamps have won 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, while Calgary has racked up 30 or more points in 5 of those outings.

While Edmonton (+118) has been playing good football lately, it routinely has trouble against the Stamps.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less conservative, CALGARY -2.5 (-114) is a better play laying the points. Obviously, don’t play both the moneyline and spread.

While Calgary has failed to cover 3 of the past 4 games since Week 8, it is a respectable 5-3 ATS across the past 8 outings. And, the Stamps have covered 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series.

Over/Under

OVER 52.5 (-105) is the play, as we could have an old-fashioned Western shootout.

The Over has cashed in 7 of the past 9 meetings in this series, and the Over has connected in 3 straight outings for Calgary. The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 contests, too.

For Edmonton, the Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 road outings while going 3-2 in the past 5 contests.

Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders Week 11 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Ottawa Redblacks (5-2-1) and Calgary Stampeders (4-5) meet at McMahon Stadium Thursday. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Redblacks failed to cover as 3-point home favorites in a 22-22 tie with the Saskatchewan Roughriders Aug. 8 with the Under (48.5) hitting. QB Dru Brown (foot) was forced to leave the game in the 2nd quarter and will not dress Thursday. QB Jeremiah Masoli will instead get the nod, his 1st start since suffering a ruptured Achilles at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats July 8, 2023.

The Stampeders lost 39-25 as 1.5-point underdogs at the Toronto Argonauts Friday as the Over (48.5) cashed. Calgary remains winless on the road at 0-5 this season, but boasts an impressive 4-0 record at McMahon Stadium.

In a July 26 meeting, the Redblacks covered as 1-point home favorites with a 33-6 rout of Calgary as the Under (48.5) hit. The Redblacks defense had 4 sacks and held Stampeders QB Jake Maier to just 136 yards and no TDs on 20-of-27 passing.

Redblacks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 25, Redblacks 20

Moneyline

The Stampeders (-200) should avenge the July 26 loss, but this line has too much vig to recommend a play.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

Calgary is 4-0 straight up and ATS at home this year. The Redblacks have won the last 2 meetings dating back to last season, but the starters in those games were QB Dustin Crum (July 23, 2023) and Brown (July 26) — not Masoli. While Masoli was signed in 2022 to be the face of the franchise, he’ll likely struggle in his 1st start in over a year.

The Stampeders were available as 2.5-point favorites on Monday afternoon, though. This line may have moved a bit too much toward Calgary, especially since it has gone through the key number of 3.

LEAN STAMPEDERS -4 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams. The offensive line struggled to protect Maier in the July 26 meeting, leading to no TDs for the Stampeders, and Masoli returning after an Achilles injury should limit Ottawa’s offense and keep the game low-scoring.

BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Calgary Stampeders at Toronto Argonauts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Calgary Stampeders at Toronto Argonauts Week 10 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (4-4) and Toronto Argonauts (4-4) wrap up a home-and-home series at BMO Field Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders covered the spread as 3-point home favorites in a 27-23 win over the Argonauts Sunday with the Over (49.5) barely hitting. Calgary outscored Toronto 21-0 in the 4th quarter to cover for the 5th time in 6 games.

The Argonauts have lost 2 of their last 3 games, but are 3-1 at home this season. QB Nick Arbuckle will start Friday, as QB Cameron Dukes (leg) is listed as a game-time decision and QB Chad Kelly (suspension) remains ineligible.

Stampeders at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 24, Argonauts 20

Moneyline

CALGARY (+110) is the safer bet — despite being disrespected by the market — as the Argonauts are now down to their 3rd-string QB. Arbuckle has been serviceable this season in relief (1 TD, 1 INT), but threw 11 TDs and 24 INTs in 42 games from 2021-2023.

The Argonauts are 3-1 straight up (SU) and 2-2 ATS at home. However, they likely would’ve been 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS if the Winnipeg Blue Bombers didn’t aggressively elect to go for it — and not covert — on a late 3rd down in Week 8.

BET STAMPEDERS (+110).

Against the spread

The Stampeders should cover +1.5 (-105), but the ML at plus money is more attractive, especially if Dukes is announced out before kickoff.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under is 2-1 in the Argonauts’ last 3 games, and the Stampeders had to put up 21 points in the 4th quarter for it to not hit in Week 9. With Arbuckle starting Friday, don’t expect Toronto to be better than it has been over the last 3 weeks, averaging just 21 points per game.

BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).
