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

Analyzing Saturday’s Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (4-10) and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-8) meet Saturday for a Week 17 matchup at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TSN+/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Tigers-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders have dropped the past 2 games, and 5 of the past 6 outings overall. However, Calgary has been playing tough, covering 4 of the past 5 outings, while going for 23 or more points in 3 of the past 4 contests.

Calgary was humbled last time out by the visiting Montreal Alouettes 28-11, failing to cover as 1-point favorites as the Under (49) cashed for the 2nd time in a row. The total has gone low at a 5-2-1 clip across the past 8 games for the Stamps.

The Tiger-Cats look to keep their postseason hopes alive against the subpar Stamps. Hamilton has won 2 of the past 3 games, and 3 of the previous 5 outings, while covering in each of the victories during the stretch, too. The Over is 3-1 across the past 4 outings, although the Under is 6-3 in the previous 9 games overall.

This is the 1st and only between between the Stamps and T-Cats this season. Hamilton won the most recent meeting Oct. 14, 2022, by a 35-32 score in Calgary, while the Ti-Cats are 4-1 ATS across the past 5 in the series.

Stampeders at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 26, Stampeders 19

Moneyline

HAMILTON (-130) is the play in “the Hammer”, as the Ti-Cats look to keep their postseason hopes alive and well.

Calgary (+110) has just been too erratic this season, and it has lost 5 of the past 6 games overall to all but fall out of the postseason conversation.

Against the spread

HAMILTON -1.5 (-110) is slightly cheaper laying the little bit of points on their home field.

While, yes, Calgary has been fairly hot against the number lately, it is still just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 meetings with Hamilton.

The Ti-Cats are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games at home, but they’re 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games after a straight-up loss, and 4-1 ATS in the past 5 after a non-cover, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is worth a look in this Week 17 matchup.

The Under has connected in 13 of the past 18 meetings in this series, while going 7-3 in the past 10 in Hamilton.

In addition, the total has gone low at a 5-2-1 clip in the past 8 games overall for the Stamps, while also going 5-2-1 in their past 8 on the road.

For the Ti-Cats, the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 after a SU loss, and 4-1 in the past 5 after an ATS loss, too.

Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders Week 16 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Montreal Alouettes (6-7) and the Calgary Stampeders (4-9) meet Saturday for a Week 16 CFL matchup at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (TSN+/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Alouettes are skidding lately after a hot start. Montreal followed up a 4-game win streak from Week 8-11 with a 4-game losing streak over its last 4 contests. The Als have allowed 23 or more points in each of the past 5 games and are just 1-4 against the spread (ATS) during that span.

Montreal has gone cold on offense, too. It scored 25 or more points in a 5-game run from Week 6-11, but it is averaging just 18.0 points per game (PPG) during the previous 4 outings.

Calgary was tripped up 25-23 at Edmonton last time out on Sept. 9, but it did grab the cover as a 2.5-point underdog at most shops. The Stampeders have covered a season-high 4 straight games.

The Alouettes picked up the 25-18 win as 1.5-point home favorites while the Under (49.5) cashed when these teams met in Week 8. The Als are 5-2 ATS in the past 7 trips to Calgary while going 12-2 ATS in the past 14 meetings overall in this series.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Alouettes at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 26, Stampeders 23

Moneyline

MONTREAL (-110) is a decent play straight up if you don’t want to worry about the small amount of points, or if you feel there is a strong chance of Calgary winning or falling by just a single point.

Against the spread

The better play is taking MONTREAL -1.5 (+100), saving yourself a few loonies in the process. The Als have dominated this series against the number, covering 12 of the past 14 meetings while going 5-2 ATS in their last 7 visits to McMahon Stadium.

It’s hard to be confident in the Als, other than their dominant numbers in this series, as Montreal has dropped the past 4 games overall. However, Calgary has also dropped 4 of the past 5 games overall. It was a 1.5-point underdog in Week 8 in Montreal and fell by a 25-18 score. Look for the Als to cover again.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very, very lightly.

The Over has outpaced the Under 2-1 in the past 3 games for the Stamps and is 4-2 in the past 6 games overall for the Als. However, the Under did connect in the first meeting back in Week 8 between these teams.

Stampeders at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 31, Stampeders 27

Moneyline

The Stampeders beat the Elks at home Monday and have beaten them in 6 straight meetings and in 9 of their last 10 matchups dating back to 2019.

However, the Stampeders have not won consecutive games all season.

BET ELKS (-135)

Against the spread

The Stampeders have covered the spread in 3 straight games.

The Elks are 3-1 ATS in the last 4 games.

The odds on the moneyline are not bad but here you get slightly better value with the spread if you agree Edmonton can get it done by at least a field goal.

BET ELKS -2.5 (-110).

Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders Week 13 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (2-9) and the Calgary Stampeders (3-8) meet Monday night at McMahon Stadium in Calgary (CBS Sports Network/TSN+) in the 1st game of a home-and-home series. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

After opening the season with 9 consecutive losses, the Elks have come alive with 2 wins in the last 2 weekends. It stunned Hamilton on the road in Week 11, winning 24-10 as a 5.5-point underdog, and it topped Ottawa 30-20 as a 1-point favorite at home in Week 12. The offense is averaging 27.0 points per game (PPG) during the run, while the defense has yielded just 15.0 PPG.

The Stampeders are in a nosedive, dropping 3 straight games after upending Toronto at home in Week 9 by a 20-7 score as a 10-point underdog. The offense was decent last week in a loss to the Argonauts in Toronto, but Calgary fell 39-31. Still, it covered again, and Calgary is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the last 4 games after opening the season 2-5 ATS in the 1st 7.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 26, Stampeders 23

Moneyline

The ELKS (+165) are playing with a lot of confidence right now, topping the Ti-Cats on the road and the RedBlacks at home last weekend.

Edmonton proved it can win on the road, and the Stampeders (-200) do not look like a team which has any business being favored by someone, let alone risking 2 times your potential return.

Against the spread

If you can’t bring yourself to take the ELKS +4 (-110) straight up, playing the visitors catching 4 points is a solid play over the skidding Stampeders -4 (-110).

Calgary has dropped the last 3 games, and it allowed 39 points last weekend in Toronto. The Stamps have coughed up 24 or more points in 8 of 11 games to date, too, so the Elks should keep the ball rolling in a positive direction.

Over/Under

OVER 46.5 (-110) is the lean in this one, based mostly upon the struggles of the Calgary defense. Edmonton has come alive on offense with 27.7 PPG in the last 3 outings, cashing the Over in 2 of those contests.

Edmonton has cashed the Over in 9 of the past 13 games following a straight-up win, too, while the Over is 3-0-1 in the past 4 for Calgary after a cover. In addition, the Over has hit in 6 of the past 7 meetings between these provincial rivals.

Calgary Stampeders at Toronto Argonauts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Calgary Stampeders at Toronto Argonauts Week 12 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (3-7) and Toronto Argonauts (7-1) meet Friday at BMO Field. 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 4.5-point home underdogs in a 19-18 loss vs. the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last Friday. Calgary’s only straight-up win in their last 5 games was a 20-7 victory vs. Toronto as a 10-point home underdog on Aug. 4.

The Argonauts covered as 10-point home favorites with a 44-31 win vs. the Ottawa Redblacks on Aug. 13 before their Week 11 bye. Toronto is 7-1 against the spread this season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Stampeders at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 29, Stampeders 15

Moneyline

It’s unlikely that Toronto (-450) will lose a 4th straight meeting vs. the Stampeders, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Argonauts should win by margin.

PASS. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

The reigning Grey Cup champions should get their revenge Friday after getting blown out in the 1st meeting.

Only having to lay 10 points is a reasonable price, considering Toronto closed as a 10-point road favorite in the 1st meeting. While the Argonauts lost straight up, they bounced back Aug. 13 and covered as double-digit favorites vs. Ottawa.

I don’t believe Toronto’s loss vs. Calgary should be a cause for concern. If anything, the Argonauts just seemed to lack focus after coming off wins vs. mediocre teams like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Argonauts are just as good as we thought heading into the 1st meeting and shouldn’t lack motivation this time around.

BET ARGONAUTS -10 (-110).

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (7-2) and Calgary Stampeders (3-6) meet Friday at McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Bombers vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Blue Bombers failed to cover the spread as 13-point favorites in a 38-29 win at the Edmonton Elks on Aug. 10. QB Zach Collaros suffered a neck injury and is listed as the 3rd-stringer for Friday. QB Dru Brown will get the start.

The Stampeders failed to cover as 6.5-point underdogs in a 37-9 loss at the BC Lions Saturday. Calgary has lost 3 of its last 4 games, going 1-3 against the spread.

Winnipeg covered as an 8-point home favorite with a 24-11 win as the Under (46.5) cashed in the 1st meeting this season July 7.

Blue Bombers at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 25, Stampeders 17

Moneyline

Winnipeg (-250) should beat Calgary for the 5th straight time, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Blue Bombers should win by margin.

PASS. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

Brown looked good in his relief appearance Aug. 10, when he came in for the injured Collaros. The former Oklahoma State QB helped the Blue Bombers erase a 22-point deficit, throwing for 300 yards and 4 TDs.

Outside of a shocking upset win as 10-point home underdogs vs. the Toronto Argonauts Aug. 4, the Stampeders have looked like 1 of the worst teams in the CFL this season. Calgary is just 3-6 ATS and has only covered in its straight-up wins.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -4 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in Winnipeg’s last 5 games after failing to cover in its previous contest. I like the defense to pick up where it left off in the 2nd half at Edmonton, when it allowed just 7 points.

The Under has gone 5-1-1 in the Stampeders’ last 7 games vs. teams with a winning record, and I could see Calgary’s offense struggling vs. Winnipeg for a 2nd time this season.

The Stampeders ended a 2-game losing streak last week with a 20-7 home win over Toronto as 10-point underdogs. The Under (52) won. They attempt to have consecutive wins for the first time all season.

The Lions had their 3-game winning streak snapped last week in a 50-14 drubbing by Winnipeg on the road. They could not cover the 6-point spread as underdogs. The Over (45) cashed in.

Stampeders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 19, Stampeders 10

Moneyline

The Stampeders have yet to win consecutive games this season. The Lions have not lost consecutive games.

The Lions have allowed 49 total points in their 6 wins. They have allowed 45 and 50 in their 2 losses.

Calgary has surpassed 30 points only twice this season.

Even without Evans at quarterback for the Lions, they should still be able to handle their business at home, but that doesn’t make them a good bet because of the line. There is no need to wager nearly 3 times what you can win on a CFL regular-season game.

PASS.

Against the spread

Four of the Stamps’ 5 losses have been by at least 7 points.

The Lions have not won by fewer than 10 points. They beat Calgary by 10 in their season opener.

Argonauts 26, Stampeders 15

Moneyline

It’s unlikely that Toronto (-400) would lose to Calgary for a 3rd straight time. However, there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Argonauts should win by margin.

PASS. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

Toronto should get its revenge Friday after losing both meetings vs. Calgary last season. The 2022 Grey Cup champions are undefeated ATS this year and continue to outperform expectations.

Calgary has failed to cover in back-to-back games and I see no need to question the Argonauts’ motivation to win by margin Friday after getting blown out 29-2 in the last meeting on October 1, 2022.

Calgary’s home-field advantage also shouldn’t be anything to worry about for Argonauts backers as the Stampeders are just 7-22 ATS in their last 29 home games.

BET ARGONAUTS -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under has hit in the last 5 meetings between these teams.

The Under has also hit in back-to-back contests for the Argonauts, who have allowed a total of just 28 points over the last 2 games. Look for Toronto’s defense to continue its dominant play Friday and to help the Under cash once again.

BET UNDER 51.5 (-110).

Ottawa RedBlacks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Ottawa RedBlacks at Calgary Stampeders odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Ottawa RedBlacks (2-3) and the Calgary Stampeders (2-3) meet Sunday in a Week 7 matchup at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the RedBlacks vs. Stampeders odds and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The RedBlacks picked up an impressive 31-28 win in overtime in Week 6 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. However, Ottawa hasn’t had success on the road, going 0-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS). The Under is 4-0 in 4 games decided in regulation, with Ottawa’s lone Over result in OT last week.

The Stampeders took care of the RedBlacks in Canada’s capital city in Week 2, winning 26-15 to cover as 6.5-point favorites as the Under (43) cashed. Calgary lost and failed to cover the next 2 games before outlasting Saskatchewan in Regina by a 33-31 score last weekend.

RedBlacks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 25, RedBlacks 18

Moneyline

Calgary (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return. That’s quite a bit expensive, even with Calgary playing on its home field against a team it already beat on the road in Week 2.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

CALGARY -4.5 (-110) is a strong play at home.

It won by 11 points on the road against Ottawa +4.5 (-110) in Week 2, and it is coming off an impressive offensive showing in Regina against the Roughriders last weekend. The offense has produced 26 or more points in 3 of the last 4 games, including the win over the RedBlacks.

Ottawa +4.5 (-110) is just too banged up to trust, especially in a road game against a team it has already lost against.

Over/Under

UNDER 44.5 (-110) is the lean, ever so slightly.

We saw these teams combine for just 41 points and an Under (43) result in Week 2. While Ottawa was impressive last week, posting 31 points of offense, the Under is still 4-1 overall for the RedBlacks.

The Under is 3-2 for Calgary this season, too, including 1-1 at McMahon Stadium.

Calgary Stampeders at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Calgary Stampeders at Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 6 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Calgary Stampeders (1-3) and Saskatchewan Roughriders (3-1) meet Saturday at Mosaic Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders failed to cover the spread as 8-point underdogs in a 24-11 loss at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers July 7. Calgary is 1-3 against the spread (ATS) this season and has failed to cover in back-to-back games.

The Roughriders failed to cover as 7-point home favorites in a 12-11 win vs. the Edmonton Elks July 6. Saskatchewan scored 9 points in the final 66 seconds of the game, taking the lead when Elks WR C.J. Sims mistakenly downed the ball in the end zone for a rouge instead of returning it.

Stampeders at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 20, Roughriders 16

Moneyline

The Stampeders got off to an impressive start at the Blue Bombers last time out, even holding a 10-point 2nd-quarter lead before collapsing in the final 30 minutes. Calgary should bounce back from that 2nd-half performance and take advantage of this Roughriders team that was lucky to even get a victory in regulation vs. the winless Elks.

BET STAMPEDERS (+105).

Against the spread

Calgary is 11-2-1 ATS in its last 14 games after failing to cover in its previous contest. Stampeders +1.5 (-110) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the spread when Calgary should win straight up.

PASS on taking the points. Bet the ML and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-0 in Calgary’s last 4 games vs. teams with a winning record and 7-1 in its last 8 after a loss.

The Under has gone 25-10-1 in Saskatchewan’s last 36 games after a win and should hit again Saturday as the Roughriders continue to struggle on offense after a lucky victory last time out.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).
