Roughriders at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 29, Roughriders 23

Moneyline

The Roughriders won the July 19 meeting, 19-9 at home, but the Blue Bombers swept a 2-game home-and-home series in September (35-33 in Regina Sept. 1 and 26-21 in Winnipeg Sept. 7).

Winnipeg has won 8 of the last 10 meetings and was the hottest team in the league over the final 10 weeks.

The Blue Bombers went 6-3 at home, winning 6 in a row in Winnipeg. The Roughriders went 4-4-1 on the road this season.

Winnipeg should make it back to the Grey Cup with a win, but -225 odds aren’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The outright winner of all 3 meetings covered the spread.

Winnipeg covered the spread in 8 of its 11 wins this season. Seven of those wins were by 5 or more points.

Saskatchewan covered the spread only once in a loss all season.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Their last meeting had 47 total points, coming in Under the 47.5-point projection, but the previous week, they combined for 68.

Ten of 19 games for the Roughriders hit the Over. Only 4 of 18 for Winnipeg had the Over cash in.

The Blue Bombers scored 26 or more in 7 of their final 8 games, averaging 29.9 points per game.

After their Sept. 7 loss to the Blue Bombers, the Roughriders have scored 28 or more points in 5 of 6 games.

BET OVER 47.5 (-115).

These teams split the season series 1-1, with the home team winning straight up and against the spread (ATS) in each meeting. In their most recent meeting Oct. 12, the Roughriders won 39-8 as 2.5-point home favorites.

Lions at Roughriders picks and predictions

Roughriders 27, Lions 21

Moneyline

The Roughriders (-175) were not great at home this season at 5-4, but the Lions were 3-6 on the road and lost 5 of their last 6 away from home.

The last 5 meetings have been won by the home team.

The Roughriders won 4 of their final 5 games.

Expect the home team to advance, but you get better value from the spread.

The Roughriders beat the Lions by 31 points Oct. 12.

BC was 8-10 ATS on the season, and the Roughriders were 11-7 ATS.

The Roughriders covered the spread in every win this season.

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.

BC Lions at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s BC Lions at Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 19 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The BC Lions (8-8) and Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-7-1) meet Saturday. Kickoff from Mosaic Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Lions are coming off a cover as 7-point favorites in a 32-15 win over the visiting Calgary Stampeders Oct. 4 with the Under (54) hitting. BC can finish 2nd in the West Division by winning its final 2 regular-season games.

The Roughriders covered as 3-point favorites with a 28-24 victory at the Edmonton Elks Oct. 5 as the Over (51) cashed. Saskatchewan would clinch a top-2 finish in the West with a win Saturday and would still have an outside shot at overtaking the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the division title.

In a July 13 meeting, the Lions beat the Roughriders 35-20 as 7-point home favorites as the Over (51) hit. However, Lions QB Vernon Adams Jr. and Roughriders QB Shea Patterson were the signal-callers, instead of BC QB Nathan Rourke and Saskatchewan QB Trevor Harris, who will start Saturday.

Lions at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 32, Roughriders 22

Moneyline

BC has won 5 of the last 7 meetings between these teams, with Rourke going 2-0 against Saskatchewan in his 2 starts over that span.

The Lions are 3-2 in their last 5 games overall and could’ve been 4-1 if it weren’t for an unlikely meltdown against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Sept. 27 — Hamilton won 32-29 in OT after trailing by 15 in the 4th quarter.

Saskatchewan is on a 3-game winning streak, but those victories were against inferior competition (the Calgary Stampeders, Ottawa Redblacks and Edmonton Elks). In an important game for playoff seeding vs. BC, the Roughriders may look like a completely different team.

BET LIONS (+100).

Against the spread

I’m not against taking the points, but I prefer getting even money on BC ML.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in the last 3 meetings, and both teams put up 28-plus points in their Week 18 games. The Lions have scored 32 or more points in 3 of their last 5 games, and the Roughriders have put up 28 or more in 3 straight.

Week 18 continues Saturday with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-7-1) on the road against the Edmonton Elks (5-10). Kickoff from Commonwealth Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

This will be the 3rd time these teams have met this season — the road team has gone 2-0 straight up.

The Roughriders have won 2 straight after a 4-game losing streak. They are coming off a 29-16 home win over Ottawa as 4-point favorites. The Under (51.5) cashed in.

The Elks are coming off 2 straight losses to Winnipeg. They lost 55-27 last week on the road, failing to cover the 3.5-point spread as underdogs. The Over (49) cashed in.

Roughriders at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 31, Elks 21

Moneyline

The Elks are only 2-5 at home and lost to the Roughriders 29-21 at Commonwealth Stadium when they were 1-point favorites June 8.

But the Roughriders aren’t great on the road with just a 3-4-1 record. They have averaged 30 points per game over their last 4.

We like a Roughriders win, but you get a better payout on the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

All of the Roughriders’ wins this season have been by at least 3 points and covered the spread.

BET ROUGHRIDERS -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The totals in their 2 meetings this season have been 50 and 73 points.

Saskatchewan has scored 33.6 points in its wins.

These teams met Aug. 8, playing to a 22-22 tie in Ottawa — the Roughriders covered as 3-point underdogs.

The Redblacks have lost 2 straight games and 3 of their last 4. They are coming off a 24-12 home loss to the Montreal Alouettes Sept. 21, failing to cover as 3-point underdogs. The Under (50) cashed.

The Roughriders snapped a 4-game skid with a 37-29 win as 3-point favorites at the Calgary Stampeders Sept. 20 with the Over (49) hitting.

Redblacks at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 29, Redblacks 20

Moneyline

The Redblacks have been fantastic at home, going 6-1-1, but they are 2-3 on the road will be starting QB Jeremiah Masoli. The Redblacks mustered only 12 points with Masoli finishing the game last week.

The Roughriders have scored more than 30 points in 2 of their last 3 games. But as the favorites at -225, you don’t want to bet the moneyline here.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Roughriders are 8-6 ATS this season and are coming off a win. However, they did go 0-6-1 straight up prior to the win. They are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as favorites.

But Ottawa is 0-5 ATS in its losses.

BET ROUGHRIDERS -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Their last matchup had 44 total points.

The Roughriders’ last 8 games have alternated between totals above this game’s projected total and below it. Last week was an Over game with 66 total points.

With Ottawa likely struggling offensively, don’t expect a track meet.

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.

Roughriders at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 27, Roughriders 22

Moneyline

WINNIPEG (-154) is worth a look as a moderate favorite straight up, if you’re a little on the conservative side and don’t want to fiddle around with the points.

The home team has won 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series. The Blue Bombers are playing much better football, as Saskatchewan is winless with a tie in the past 6 outings.

Against the spread

Back WINNIPEG -2.5 (-122) as it looks to sweep the Labour Day Classic and the Banjo Bowl. It picked up a 35-33 win in a shootout last weekend.

Saskatchewan +2.5 (+100) is skidding lately, both straight up and ATS. The Riders are 2-4 ATS in the past 6 games, after opening the season 5-1 ATS in the first 6 affairs.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-114) is worth a look in this rematch, but go really lightly.

The Over hit last week, as 68 total points were scored with an O/U of just 47. Of course, in Week 7, the teams combined for just 28 points as the Under (49.5) cashed.

The Over has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 games for the Roughriders, while the Blue Bombers cashed high last time out after a 5-0 Under run. It’s been all about the Under for Saskatchewan, going 10-2, so be careful.

Blue Bombers at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 24, Roughriders 20

Moneyline

The Roughriders have allowed an average of 26.2 points per game over their 5-game winless streak. The Blue Bombers went 4 straight games allowing under 20 points before giving up 23 last week. They allowed only 13.8 points per game over their last 5 games.

Winnipeg has won 5 of 7 games and has averaged 22.8 points per game over those 7 games.

Expect the Blue Bombers to avenge their earlier loss to Saskatchewan and take the division lead.

BET BLUE BOMBERS (+135).

Against the spread

Winnipeg is only 3-8 ATS overall this season and is 3-4 ATS in their last 7 games. Saskatchewan is 7-4 ATS and 2-3 ATS in their winless streak. But the Roughriders are fading and the Blue Bombers were league runners-up last season. It feels like 1 team is surging while the other is fading.

With the plus odds for Winnipeg on the moneyline, it is better value to bet that line.

PASS.

Over/Under

Only 1 Winnipeg game this season has seen the Over cash in. The Under is 5-0 in Winnipeg’s last 5 games. Last week’s game had 49 total points. but the previous 4 did not reach 40 total points.

Their 1st meeting this season had only 27 total points.

BET UNDER 47.5 (-115).
