BC Lions at Edmonton Elks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s BC Lions at Edmonton Elks Week 16 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The BC Lions (9-4) visit the Edmonton Elks (4-10) in Week 16 CFL action Friday. Kickoff from The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium is at 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Lions come into the week with a 2-game win streak as they bounce back from losing 3 of their 4 previous outings. BC beat the Ottawa Redblacks 41-37 Saturday but failed to cover as a 9.5-point home favorite while the Over (47) cashed.

The Elks have also won 2 in a row, including a 36-27 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders as 3-point road underdogs last Friday. Edmonton has won 4 of 5 games since starting the season 0-9.

BC has shut out Edmonton twice this season by a combined 49-0 score.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Lions at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Elks 30

Moneyline

The Elks have won 4 of their last 5 games but were shut out twice by BC earlier this season. They have scored 24 or more in every game since their last loss to BC.

BC has scored 29 or more in 4 of its last 5.

I think the Lions (-310) will make it 3-for-3 on the season, but the odds are too steep for a moneyline wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The Elks are 4-2 ATS in their last 6.

The Lions beat the Elks by 22 and 27 points in their previous matchups.

Because the Elks’ offense has picked up and BC’s defense has allowed 25 or more in 4 straight games, expect this to be closer than the previous meetings.

BET ELKS +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

While their two previous games against each other this season combined for 49 points, 4 of the Lions’ last 6 games have had 50 or more total points.

Five of the Elks’ last 6 games have had totals of 50 or more.

BET OVER 49.5 (-110).

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Ottawa Redblacks odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Week 16 of the CFL season kicks off Friday with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-7) visiting the Ottawa Redblacks (3-10). Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET at TD Place Stadium. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Redblacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Roughriders have lost 2 straight games. They are coming off a 36-27 home loss vs. the Edmonton Elks as 3-point favorites last Friday as the Over (47) cashed. Saskatchewan beat Ottawa 26-24 as a 2.5-point home underdog as the Over (44.5) connected on Aug. 6

The Redblacks have lost 7 straight games, most recently a 41-37 road loss to the BC Lions Saturday, although they covered as 9.5-point underdogs. The Over (47) hit in that and has connected in 6 straight for Ottawa.

Roughriders at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 34, Redblacks 30

Moneyline

The Redblacks have lost 7 straight games and have allowed 27.0 points per game on the season. They have lost their last 3 games at home.

The Roughriders beat them by 2 at home last month. They have allowed 29 or more points in 5 straight games.

The Roughriders are the most likely winner and the -140 odds aren’t bad but, because the spread is so small, it is better to go with that bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Roughriders lost as favorites last week. They covered the spread in their last 3 wins.

The Redblacks have lost by 3 or more points in 5 of the 7 losses during their 7-game skid.

BET ROUGHRIDERS -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The 2 teams combined for 50 points in their meeting in August. Ottawa’s last 5 games have all had totals of at least 50 points.

The Over has hit in the last 6 games both the Roughriders and the Redblacks.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Ottawa Redblacks (3-9) and BC Lions (8-4) meet Saturday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Redblacks failed to cover the spread as 3-point home favorites in a 27-24 loss vs. the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as the Over (46.5) cashed Sept. 8. Ottawa has lost 6 straight games.

The Lions covered as 3.5-point favorites with a 34-25 win at the Montreal Alouettes as the Over (47.5) hit Sept. 2 before their Week 14 bye. BC is 2-3 straight up and against the spread (ATS) in its last 5 games.

The Lions went 2-0 straight up and ATS last season vs. the Redblacks, with the Over hitting in both meetings.

Redblacks at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 31, Redblacks 19

Moneyline

The Lions (-450) should hand Ottawa its 7th straight loss, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when BC should cover for an 8th straight time vs. the Redblacks.

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

Against the spread

The Lions have owned the Redblacks in recent years, winning and covering in 7 straight meetings. QB Vernon Adams Jr. leads the league in yards per game (295.7) and faces a Redblacks team that has allowed opponents to score an average of 30.4 points over the last 5 games. Look for BC to continue its dominance over Ottawa.

BET LIONS -9.5 (-110).

FOOTBALL NEVER STOPS

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 5 straight Redblacks games and the last 3 meetings between these teams. Ottawa has struggled to contain teams like the Edmonton Elks and the Saskatchewan Roughriders lately, meaning BC’s offense should have no trouble putting up a lot of points. While I don’t like the Redblacks to contribute much offensively, the Lions should do most of the heavy lifting to help this Over cash.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 15 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (10-3) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-7) meet Saturday at Tim Hortons Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Blue Bombers covered the spread as 8.5-point home favorites with a 51-6 win vs. the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the Over (48) cashed last Saturday. QB Zach Collaros finished 18-of-21 passing for 319 yards with 5 TDs. Winnipeg is 6-1 straight up in its last 7 games but just 3-4 against the spread (ATS).

The Tiger-Cats covered as 3-point underdogs in a 27-24 win at the Ottawa Redblacks as the Over (46.5) hit Sept. 8. QB Taylor Powell threw for 326 yards and 3 TDs.

The Blue Bombers covered as 4.5-point home favorites with a 42-31 win as the Over (46.5) cashed June 9 in their 1st meeting this season.

Blue Bombers at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 32, Tiger-Cats 24

Moneyline

The Blue Bombers (-275) should win for the 7th time in their last 8 games, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Winnipeg should win by margin.

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

Against the spread

The Tiger-Cats have not covered in back-to-back outings since their 2-game win streak from Week 5-6. Hamilton is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 home games, and Powell has struggled to string together good performances.

Collaros leads the league with 27 TDs and should have no trouble running up the score vs. this underperforming Tiger-Cats team.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1 in Winnipeg’s last 6 outings and has hit in back-to-back Tiger-Cats games.

The Over has hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams, and I expect this game to look very similar to the last time they played June 9.

Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes Week 15 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (10-1) and Montreal Alouettes (6-6) meet Friday at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

These teams played Saturday in Toronto, and the Argonauts covered as 9.5-point favorites with a 39-10 win as the Under (52) cashed. Toronto RB A.J. Ouellette rushed for 105 yards and 2 TDs as the Argonauts won their 4th straight game.

Toronto can clinch top spot in the East with a victory Friday, while the Alouettes are trying to snap a 3-game losing skid.

The Argonauts are 2-0 straight up and ATS this season vs. the Alouettes, with the Over and the Under each cashing once.

Argonauts at Alouettes odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:50 p.m. ET.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Argonauts at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 28, Alouettes 27

Moneyline

The Argonauts (-275) should beat the Alouettes for a 4th straight time. However, the price is too high on Toronto ML.

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

Against the spread

The Alouettes should bounce back after getting blown out Saturday. QB Cody Fajardo and company are more than capable of keeping this game close and will be extra motivated to not lose their 4th straight. I believe it’s a tough ask to expect Toronto to beat Montreal by 7 or more points 3 times in a season. Take the points with the desperate Alouettes.

BET ALOUETTES +6.5 (-110).

FOOTBALL NEVER STOPS
Live games, analysis and more 7 days a week: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in Montreal’s last 5 games and 3-1 in Toronto’s last 4.

While I don’t expect Toronto to score as many points this time out, I do believe the Alouettes will contribute much more offensively and help this Over hit Friday in Montreal.

Edmonton Elks at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Edmonton Elks at Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 15 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (3-10) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-6) meet Friday at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

Edmonton has been red-hot lately, winning 3 of the past 4 games, while covering 3 of the past 5 outings. The Over has the edge by a 3-2 margin in the previous 5 outings overall.

The Elks got off to the worst start imaginable, dropping the first 9 games of the season, including a Week 1 setback at home to the Roughriders 17-13. Edmonton also lost at Saskatchewan 12-11 in Week 5. The teams have split against the spread (ATS), while the Under has cashed in both previous meetings.

The Roughriders posted a 32-30 overtime win at home against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Week 13, winning outright as a 7-point underdog. That apparently angered the Bombers, as Winnipeg spanked Saskatchewan 51-6 at home in Week 14. The Over has hit in 5 in a row for Saskatchewan, with the Riders coughing up at least 29 points in each of the previous 4 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Elks at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 26, Roughriders 22

Moneyline

EDMONTON (+135) is a completely different team than the one Saskatchewan (-160) topped twice in the 1st 5 weekends of the season.

The Elks have picked up wins in 3 of the past 4 games, and the Roughriders are coming off a 45-point blowout loss. So these teams are going in opposite directions, and Edmonton’s arrow is pointing up.

Against the spread

EDMONTON +3 (-110) isn’t as good of a value catching the 3 points, as plus-money is much more attractive straight up.

While the Elks have dropped both of the previous meetings against the Roughriders -3 (-110), the margin of victory for Saskatchewan is just 2.5 points per game (PPG).

FOOTBALL NEVER STOPS
Live games, analysis and more 7 days a week: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

OVER 46.5 (-115) is a decent play in this trilogy matchup.

The Roughriders have allowed 29 or more points in 4 straight games, while allowing 24 or more points in each of the past 6 outings, and 9 of the past 11 contests. The Over has hit in 5 in a row for Saskatchewan, too.

For the Elks, the Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 games, while Edmonton’s offense has posted 24 or more points in 5 in a row, while allowing 20 or more points in 4 of the past 5 contests, too.

Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

Saturday marks the 2nd time these teams have squared off in 5 days as the Stampeders snapped a 3-game losing skid with a 35-31 home win over the Elks on Monday. Calgary covered as a 3-point favorite as the Over (48) cashed. The Stamps seek consecutive wins for the first time this season.

The Elks had a 2-game winning streak snapped with the loss Monday. Edmonton opened the season 0-9 before winning 2 in a row.

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.

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Saskatchewan Roughriders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Week 14 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-5) and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-3) meet Saturday afternoon at IG Field in Winnipeg. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Roughriders posted a 32-30 overtime win Sunday in Mosaic Stadium in Regina in the front end of the home-and-home set. Saskatchewan has won 2 in a row, winning both games outright as an underdog of 7 or more points. The Over has cashed in 4 straight games for Saskatchewan, while allowing 24 or more points in 5 consecutive outings.

The Blue Bombers are looking to avenge the OT loss in Regina last week that snapped a 5-game win streak. Winnipeg hasn’t lost in regulation since Week 3 at home against the BC Lions. Winnipeg is just 2-5 ATS in the past 7 games overall, too, with the Over going 4-1 in the past 5 contests.

These teams have met twice this season, both in Regina, with each team winning and covering. The Over has cashed in each of the previous outings, while 3-1 in the previous 4 meetings.

Roughriders at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 36, Roughriders 29

Moneyline

The Blue Bombers (-400) will cost you 4 times your potential return, and that’s quite risky betting behavior, especially coming off a loss against the Roughriders (+310) last time out.

While Winnipeg figures to rebound against Saskatchewan, a team it has beaten in 8 of the past 9 meetings, it’s way too much risk.

PASS.

Against the spread

The ROUGHRIDERS +8.5 (-110) won outright as a 7-point underdog last time out. That snapped an 0-3 ATS skid against the Blue Bombers -8.5 (-110).

Saskatchewan has covered 3 of the past 4 games overall, while Winnipeg is on a 2-5 ATS slide in the past 7 contests. While I fully expect the Bombers to win, the Riders will keep it within a single score.

FOOTBALL NEVER STOPS
Live games, analysis and more 7 days a week: Get ESPN+

Over/Under

Alouettes at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 29, Alouettes 25

Moneyline

The Argonauts (-550) will set you back quite a hefty amount to wager their moneyline as you’re forced to risk 5 1/2 times your potential return. That’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, especially in a potentially close game between these East Division rivals.

PASS.

Against the spread

The ALOUETTES +9.5 (-110) almost catching double digits is way too much in this rivalry. While Montreal has failed to cover 3 in a row, the Als were 20-9 ATS in the past 29 trips to Toronto.

The edge goes to the Alouettes in the past 6 meetings, with Montreal going 3-2-1 ATS. The last time there was a double-digit spread in this series, the Argonauts covered as a 10.5-point road ‘dog on Oct. 18, 2019.

Over/Under

OVER 52.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very lightly.

The Over has cashed in each of the past 3 meetings in this series and is 5-2 across the past 7. The past 3 battles have seen an average of 64.7 combined points per game, which is well above the Over (48) in each of those contests.

The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 home games for Toronto and is 7-1 in the past 8 road outings for Montreal. The Over has cashed in 4 straight games for the Als, while also going 4-0 in the past 4 against winning teams.

Tiger-Cats at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 27, Redblacks 17

Moneyline

The Redblacks are surprising favorites despite losing 5 straight games and allowing 31.3 points per game over their last 4 outings.

Hamilton won the first matchup of the season 16-12 in Ottawa on July 28. Ottawa’s losing skid actually started with that loss.

The Tiger-Cats have allowed 13 or fewer points in 3 of their 4 wins on the year.

BET TIGER-CATS (+175).

Against the spread

Both teams are 4-6 ATS on the season.

The Redblacks have covered the spread only once this season in a loss.

The Tiger-Cats have covered the spread in all their wins and failed to do so in their losses.

If you like Hamilton to cover, you should like them to win outright, which makes the plus-money odds on the moneyline super intriguing.

PASS.
