Toronto Argonauts at Ottawa Redblacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto Argonauts at Ottawa Redblacks Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (15-2) and Ottawa Redblacks (4-13) meet Saturday. Kickoff from TD Place is at 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Redblacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The 1st-place Argonauts failed to cover the spread as 9-point favorites in a 29-26 win at the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the Over (50.5) hit last Saturday. Toronto can set a franchise record for wins in a season with a victory at Ottawa.

The Redblacks failed to cover as 9-point underdogs with a 40-27 loss at the Argonauts as the Over (49) cashed Oct. 14 before their bye last week. Ottawa will miss the playoffs for a 4th straight year.

Argonauts at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 27, Redblacks 20

Moneyline

Ottawa only has 1 win in its last 11 games.

Toronto has only 1 loss in its last 10.

The Argonauts won 44-31 as 10-point home favorites in the 1st head-to-head meeting this season Aug. 13, in addition to their double-digit win Oct. 14.

BET ARGONAUTS (-115).

Against the spread

All of the Argonauts’ wins this season have been by 3 or more points.

Twelve of the Redblacks’ 13 losses have been by 2 or more points.

Toronto is 12-5 ATS overall, while Ottawa is 6-11 ATS.

With such a small spread, the payout is almost the same as betting the moneyline, only with the moneyline you don’t run the risk of the loss on a 1-point win.

PASS.

Over/Under

Two of the last 3 games for Ottawa have failed to reach 50 total points after 6 of the previous 7 did.

Only 3 of the last 7 for the Argonauts have had a total reach 50 points, although the last 3 meetings between the teams have had totals of at least 60.

As Toronto looks ahead to the postseason, having locked up a spot in the Eastern Final, this likely will turn into a game in which they coast in the final half.

BET UNDER 49.5 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Ottawa Redblacks (4-12) and Toronto Argonauts (13-2) meet Saturday at BMO Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Redblacks failed to cover the spread as 6-point underdogs in a 29-3 loss Monday at the Montreal Alouettes as the Under (45.5) cashed. Ottawa has lost 9 of its last 10 games, going 3-7 against the spread (ATS) over that stretch.

The Argonauts covered as 7.5-point home favorites with a 35-12 win vs. the Edmonton Elks as the Under (50.5) hit Oct. 6. Toronto will rest RB AJ Ouellette Saturday since it has already clinched 1st in the East.

The Argonauts won the 1st meeting this season, covering as 10-point home favorites in a 44-31 victory as the Over (47) hit Aug. 13.

Redblacks at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 24, Redblacks 20

Moneyline

The Argonauts (-400) should hand Ottawa its 10th loss in 11 games, but laying -400 with a team that has already clinched 1st in the East seems a little excessive.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or the total instead.

Against the spread

Toronto is showing that it has little motivation to win by resting its star RB — let alone win by margin. Backup QBs Cameron Dukes and Bryan Scott are both expected to play some snaps, which could help Ottawa get a backdoor cover.

Redblacks LB Jovan Santos-Knox told reporters this week that they’re “going to still finish the season strong and build on to next year. There’s a lot that we can still do in 2 games.”

I’ll take the points with the side that is at least playing for pride, instead of looking ahead to the postseason.

BET REDBLACKS +8.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Ottawa and 4 of the last 5 for Toronto. Ottawa’s defense will be extra motivated after getting blown out in the 1st meeting, and Toronto’s offense should take a step back once Dukes and Scott see the field.

Ottawa RedBlacks at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Ottawa RedBlacks at Montreal Alouettes odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Ottawa RedBlacks (4-11) and the Montreal Alouettes (8-7) meet Monday for a Week 18 matchup at Percival-Molson Memorial Stadium in Montreal. Kickoff for the Canadian Thanksgiving afternoon affair is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBSSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the RedBlacks vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The RedBlacks need to win out if they hope to sneak into the playoffs. If the Alouettes are able to pick up a victory, not only would the RedBlacks be eliminated, but Montreal can inch closer to hosting a playoff game. As it stands, the Als are in the postseason for the 4th consecutive season.

Ottawa suffered a tough 32-15 loss at home as a 1.5-point underdog last weekend against Montreal in the front end of the home-and-home set. The Under (49) cashed in Week 17, and that was the biggest betting news, as the Over had been on a 7-0 run for Ottawa. The Over is 9-2 in the past 11 games for the RedBlacks.

Montreal also topped Ottawa 25-24 in Week 11 in Canada’s capital city, although the RedBlacks cashed as 2.5-point underdogs in that one with the Over (47) just inching across the line. Montreal won in Week 1 at home against Ottawa, too, posting a 19-12 victory as a 2-point favorite with the Under (43.5) connecting.

The Alouettes enter with 2 straight wins, both on the road, while covering the past 3 outings. The Under is on a 4-0 run for Montreal, too.

RedBlacks at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 26, RedBlacks 19

Moneyline

Montreal (-250) is tempting to play since it has won all 3 regular-season meetings with Ottawa. However, it’s not wise to risk 2½ times the potential return, no matter how favorable things look.

The RedBlacks are desperate for a win, trying to keep their flickering playoff hopes alive, although they certainly didn’t play with much fire at home last time out against the Als.

PASS.

Against the spread

MONTREAL -6.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly as this is a rather large number.

The Alouettes have covered 3 in a row, and they’re playing very good football. Montreal is 2-1 ATS this season vs. Ottawa. It’s now or never for the RedBlacks, though, and I expect they play hard, making this one close to the very end.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

First off, we have a matinee game in this Canadian Thanksgiving Day battle. Waking up early will affect both teams, and we could have a slow start.

Second, while the Over has dominated for the RedBlacks, going 5-0 in the past 5 road games, and 7-1 in the past 8 games overall, the Under is 11-2 in the past 13 meetings in Montreal. The Under has hit in 4 straight for the Als, and 9 of the past 12 at home for Montreal, too.

Montreal Alouettes at Ottawa Redblacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Montreal Alouettes at Ottawa Redblacks Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Montreal Alouettes (7-7) and the Ottawa Redblacks (4-10) meet Saturday for a Week 17 matchup at TD Place in Ottawa, Ontario. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (TSN+/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Redblacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Alouettes moved back to .500 with a 28-11 road victory against the Calgary Stampeders as a 1-point underdog last weekend as the Under (49) connected. The victory halted a 4-game losing skid. Montreal has now covered back-to-back games for the first time since a 3-game cover streak from Week 8-10.

The Redblacks also snapped a losing skid in Week 16, topping the Saskatchewan Roughriders by a 36-28 score as a 1.5-point underdog at home to halt a 7-game slide. That span included a 25-24 home loss to the Als in Week 11, although the Redblacks covered as 2.5-point ‘dogs.

The Over has cashed in 7 straight games for Ottawa, a span during which its allowed 26 or more points in each contest. The Over is also 9-1 across the past 10 games overall for the Redblacks.

The Under has hit in 3 in a row for the Alouettes, but the Over has a 4-3 edge in the past 7 games, including that previous matchup with the Redblacks.

Alouettes at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 28, Redblacks 23

Moneyline

MONTREAL (-105) is a strong play in this road game in Canada’s capital city. The Als can clinch a spot in the postseason with a victory.

Ottawa is hanging on by a thread. The Redblacks will be eliminated from the postseason with a loss to Montreal coupled with a victory by Saskatchewan.

Against the spread

MONTREAL -2.5 (-115) looked good going on the road last week, dominating the Stamps for a 2nd straight cover. It should do so against another inferior foe, although it won’t be easy with the Redblacks clinging to flickering postseason hopes.

The Als are 5-1 ATS in the past 6 tries against teams with a losing overall record and are 7-2 ATS in the past 9 trips to Ottawa.

The Redblacks have covered just once in the past 7 games against East Division opponents, while covering just 9 times in the past 32 games at home.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is a nice play in this Week 17 matchup.

The Over has hit in 7 straight games overall for the Redblacks and is 4-1 in the past 5 contests at home.

The Under is 5-1 in Montreal’s last 6 September games dating back to last season and is 7-3 in its last 10 against losing teams but the Over has cashed in 7 of its last 10 road games.

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
Live games, analysis and more 7 days a week: Get ESPN+

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.

Hamilton has lost 3 of its last 4 games and is coming off a 41-28 home loss to the Toronto Argonauts, failing to cover as an 8-point underdog. The Over (51) cashed in the loss, snapping a 5-game run to the Under.

The Redblacks have lost 5 straight games. They are coming off a 30-20 road loss to the Edmonton Elks, failing to cover the 1-point spread as underdogs. The Over (46) hit in the game.

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.

Redblacks at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 26, Redblacks 24

Moneyline

The Elks appear to have gotten their offense on track, scoring 53 points over the last 2 games. They will need to keep it up against the Redblacks, who have scored 24 or more in 3 straight games despite losing all 3.

Ottawa has lost 4 in a row. Make it 5.

BET ELKS (-110).

Against the spread

The Elks’ only victory is by 14 points while Ottawa’s only cover in a loss was last week. It is slightly better odds but it wouldn’t hurt to also add a wager on the Elks to cover.

BET ELKS -1.5 (+100).

Montreal Alouettes at Ottawa RedBlacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Montreal Alouettes at Ottawa RedBlacks Week 11 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Montreal Alouettes (5-3) and the Ottawa RedBlacks (3-6) meet Saturday at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBSSN/TSN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. RedBlacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Alouettes have rattled off 3 consecutive victories and covers in the past 3 weekends, averaging 31.0 points per game (PPG) on offense, while yielding just 14.7 PPG on defense. The Under is 2-1 during the 3-game win streak. QB Cody Fajardo (shoulder) will suit up as the 3rd-string quarterback with QB Chris Evans starting against his former club.

The RedBlacks have dropped the past 3 games, while going 0-3 against the spread (ATS), too. Ottawa is averaging a healthy 22.3 PPG on offense but coughing up 28.7 PPG on defense. The Over is 2-1 during the 3-game stretch.

These teams met back in Week 1 in Montreal, with the Alouettes posting a 19-12 victory as a 2-point favorite while the Under (43.5) connected. It was the first time the home team won outright in the previous 7 meetings, and Montreal halted an 0-3 ATS skid in the series.

Alouettes at RedBlacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 25, RedBlacks 16

Moneyline

MONTREAL (-125) is a strong value straight up on the moneyline in this road contest. The Als have already beaten Ottawa (+105) once this season, and the RedBlacks are significantly banged up. However, laying the small amount of points is an even better option, and cheaper.

Against the spread

Unless you’re dead-seat on MONTREAL -1.5 (-110) winning this game by just a single point, then you must take the Alouettes laying the points rather than the moneyline.

Ottawa +1.5 (-110) is in trouble, especially on defense, as Coleman III has managed 2 INT this season, including a pick-6, while posting 3 sacks. His loss will be a big one, as is that of Dandridge, who has registered a team-high 4 picks, including a pair of TDs with a forced fumble and 2 fumble recoveries. Montreal should be able to have its way against Ottawa’s depleted D.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is a strong play.

While Montreal should be able to move the ball against Ottawa’s banged-up D, it has been rather middling on offense this season. The Als are averaging just 251.1 passing yards per game, ranking 6th in the CFL, while managing a so-so 24.9 PPG.

Ottawa’s D has been picked apart, and it is dinged up. But the offense isn’t very good, and won’t do much against the Montreal D.

Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts Week 10 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Ottawa Redblacks (3-5) travel to meet the Toronto Argonauts (6-1) Sunday in Week 10 CFL action. Kickoff from BMO Field is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Redblacks were tripped up 26-24 in Week 9 at the Saskatchewan Roughriders, failing to cover as 2.5-point favorites as the Over (44.5) connected. Ottawa has dropped back-to-back games for the first time since Weeks 1-2. The Redblacks are just 3-5 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS).

The Over has hit in 3 of Ottawa’s past 4 outings after the Under cashed in its first 4 outings.

The Argonauts dropped their first game of the season in Week 9, falling 20-7 at the Calgary Stampeders last week. It was also Toronto’s first non-cover after opening 6-0 ATS. The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Toronto as it has coughed up just 16.0 points per game (PPG) in the past 3 contests.

The road team has won 4 straight meetings in this series while cashing in each of the past 3 against the number. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 meetings, too.

Redblacks at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 32, Redblacks 18

Moneyline

The Argonauts (-450) will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Even including Toronto straight up as part of a multi-team parlay would suck all of the value out of your ticket.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The Redblacks +10 (-110) are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 against winning teams and have failed to cash in the past 4 against teams from the East Division. In addition, the Redblacks are just 2-6 ATS in the past 8 tries against the ARGONAUTS -10 (-110), while going 1-4 ATS in the past 5 trips to T-Dot.

On the flip side, Toronto has cashed in 4 in a row at home and is 8-1 ATS in the past 9 games dating back to last season. The Argos are going to be hopping mad after getting embarrassed in Calgary last week, and Ottawa is going to be the whipping post.

Over/Under

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

The Under has cashed in 4 in a row for Ottawa against East Division teams and cashed in 6 of its last 7 outings in August. However, it’s all about the Over for Toronto, going 14-5 in the past 19 games following a straight-up loss.

The Redblacks rank dead-last in the CFL, allowing 314.6 passing yards per game and coughing up 23.0 PPG. The Argos should take it to them.
