Toronto Argonauts at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto Argonauts at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (14-2) and Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-11) meet Saturday for a Week 20 matchup at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. Kickoff for is set for 4 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts are locked into the No. 1 overall spot heading into the postseason, so there isn’t a lot to play for in this regular-season finale.

The Roughriders need a win and a loss by the Calgary Stampeders against the BC Lions for Saskatchewan to get to the postseason. A win by the Stamps doesn’t necessarily eliminate the Roughriders, should Saskatchewan also win. The final spot would come down to Calgary’s Week 21 result against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The Argos and Riders met once this season, a neutral-site game at Huskies Stadium on the campus of Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on July 29 for “Touchdown Atlantic”. Toronto fired out to a 21-0 lead at halftime before Saskatchewan notched a field goal at 5:40 of the third quarter. The Argos ended up winning 31-13, covering a 10-point spread as the Under (48.5) connected.

The weather forecast calls for temperatures in the lower 50’s, with mostly cloudy conditions and a slight breeze of 4-7 mph, which is beautiful compared to the upcoming week’s forecast calling for temperatures in the 30’s with snow moving in Monday night, piling up to 6-8 inches, before tapering off Saturday.

Argonauts at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 29, Roughriders 18

Moneyline

Toronto (-500) has had the division and top overall seed locked up for a while, but it hasn’t taken its foot off the gas. The Argos have won 7 of the past 8 games overall, while Saskatchewan (+360) has dropped 6 straight games despite still being alive for a postseason spot it could have clinched long ago. This is the last chance for the Riders to play and help themselves, as Saskatchewan has a bye in the final regular-season Week 21.

PASS.

Against the spread

It is tempting to play Saskatchewan +9.5 (-110), as you have to figure it will ball out with plenty left to play for. TORONTO -9.5 (-110) has nothing to play for except pride, but it has been extremely prideful in recent weeks, going 4-2 ATS in the past 6 games overall, while cashing in 11-4 ATS overall on the season.

The Argos belted the Riders by 18 points in Halifax on July 29 as a 10-point favorite, and Toronto should hurt Saskatchewan’s postseason chances with a costly loss for the Roughriders.

Over/Under

UNDER 50.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly.

The total has gone low in 4 of the past 5 games for Toronto, as well as its Week 8 matchup against Saskatchewan in “Touchdown Atlantic”.

While the Over has cashed in 9 of the past 10 games for the Roughriders, the Under did hit in last week’s 26-19 loss at Calgary. It marked the first time Saskatchewan allowed fewer than 30 points since Aug. 20.

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders Week 19 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-10) and Calgary Stampeders (4-11) meet Friday at McMahon Stadium. 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 failed to cover the spread as 3-point home favorites in a 38-13 loss Saturday vs. the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as the Over (48.5) cashed. Saskatchewan has lost 5 straight games.

The Stampeders are also coming off an against the spread (ATS) loss last time out vs. the Tiger-Cats. Calgary closed as a 1.5-point road underdog in a 22-15 loss as the Under (48.5) hit Sep. 30 before the Stampeders’ Week 18 bye. Calgary has lost 3 straight and has failed to cover in back-to-back games.

These teams have split their 2 meetings this season. The Roughriders covered as 2-point road underdogs in a 29-26 overtime win June 24 as the Over (45.5) cashed, and the Stampeders covered as 1-point road favorites with a 33-31 win July 15 as the Over (43.5) hit.

Roughriders at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 34, Roughriders 18

Moneyline

The Stampeders (-185) are coming off a bye week and are in a must-win spot to keep their playoff hopes alive. Calgary ML should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Stampeders should win by margin.

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

Against the spread

The Roughriders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and needed 2 TDs in the final 2 minutes to cover as 10-point underdogs in a 33-26 loss at the BC Lions on Sep. 29. Saskatchewan can clinch the last available playoff spot with a win Friday, but it has shown over its last 5 outings that it struggles to even keep games close.

Before failing to cover in their last 2 games, the Stampeders were on a 4-game ATS win streak. I trust Calgary to bounce back in a must-win game and defeat the struggling Roughriders by more than a field goal in front of its home crowd.

BET STAMPEDERS -3.5 (-110).

The Over has also hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 18 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (7-8) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-9) meet Saturday for a Week 18 matchup at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TSN+/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers-Cats vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Tiger-Cats recorded a 22-15 victory at home over Calgary last weekend, covering as 1.5-point favorites while cashing the Under (48.5). Hamilton is now 3-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) across the past 4 games and clinched a playoff spot with the victory over Calgary.

Hamilton is still alive to finish 2nd in the East Division, with a chance to host the Eastern Semifinals. However, it is a game behind the Montreal Alouettes and if Montreal wins its game against the Ottawa Redblacks Monday the Als would wrap up 2nd place.

The Roughriders are in the mix for a postseason spot, currently sitting the final position in the West Division. Saskatchewan is 2 games clear of the Stamps, Edmonton Elks and Redblacks. Should the Roughriders win, both Edmonton and Ottawa would be eliminated.

Saskatchewan has been allowing other teams to hang around, as the Roughriders have dropped 4 straight games while going just 1-3 ATS. The Over has cashed in 8 in a row for Saskatchewan as it has allowed 29 or more points in 7 consecutive contests and 33 or more points in 4 in a row.

This will be the only regular-season meeting between Hamilton and Saskatchewan. The home team has won and covered each of the past 6 meetings in this series dating back to 2019, with Saskatchewan winning the most recent battle in Regina on June 11, 2022, topping Hamilton 30-13 to cover a 2.5-point spread. The Under has cashed in 6 straight meetings too and is 8-1 across the past 9 in the series.

Tiger-Cats at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 29, Tiger-Cats 26

Moneyline

Saskatchewan (-170) is just a little too expensive, costing more than 1/2 times your potential return. This is going to be a close game, as both teams are playing with something at stake.

PASS.

Against the spread

HAMILTON +3.5 (-115) is worth a look as it has been playing much better lately than Saskatchewan.

There is a risk, as the home side has won and covered the past 6 meetings. In addition, the Ti-Cats are a dismal 3-19-1 ATS in the past 23 trips to Regina and 3-8 ATS in the past 11 meetings overall.

However, the Ti-Cats are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 road games, while going 5-1 ATS in the past 6 against teams with a losing record. On the flip side, the Roughriders are just 4-9 ATS in the past 13 games at home, and 1-6 ATS in the past 7 against losing teams.

Over/Under

OVER 49.5 (-105) is the lean, especially since the total has gone high in 8 straight games for the Roughriders. The Over is 5-0 in the past 5 home games for Saskatchewan, too.

The Under has trended for the Tiger-Cats, going 7-3 in the past 10 games overall and cashing in 13 of the past 16 meetings in this series, including 4 straight in Regina. There are risks, but trends in recent games in the current season outweigh more historical or long-term trends.

Saskatchewan Roughriders at BC Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Saskatchewan Roughriders at BC Lions Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-8) and BC Lions (10-4) meet Friday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Roughriders failed to cover the spread as 1.5-point favorites in a 36-28 loss last Friday at the Ottawa Redblacks as the Over (48) cashed. Saskatchewan is 0-3 straight up and against the spread (ATS) in its last 3 games.

The Lions covered as 5.5-point favorites with a 37-29 win last Friday at the Edmonton Elks as the Over (50) hit. BC can clinch a home playoff game with a victory Friday.

These teams have split their 2 head-to-head meetings this season. The Lions pushed as 10-point home favorites with a 19-9 win in the 1st meeting July 22 as the Under (45.5) cashed, and the Roughriders covered as 10-point home underdogs in a 34-29 win Aug. 20 as the Over (45) hit.

Roughriders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 31, Roughriders 25

Moneyline

The Lions (-450) are tied with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the top spot in the West Division and need to win in order to keep pace. However, the price is a little high on the BC moneyline.

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

Against the spread

The Lions have not been great lately coming off of ATS wins, going 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after covering in their previous outing. While the Roughriders have been playing below expectation lately, they did match up well vs. the Lions in their most recent meeting.

I believe the market is overvaluing BC in this spot and overreacting to Saskatchewan’s losing skid. BET ROUGHRIDERS +10 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over has hit in the Roughriders’ last 7 games and the Lions’ last 3. Both defenses have been struggling recently, and I don’t trust either to help keep this game low-scoring.

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.

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).

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.

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

Over/Under

OVER 48.5 (-105) might be the best play on the board.

The Blue Bombers have registered 28 or more points in 6 of the past 7 games, while averaging 37.5 PPG in the 2 meetings with Saskatchewan this season.

The Roughriders have posted 26 or more points in 3 of the previous 4 outings, while cashing the Over in each of the contests. The defense has looks like Swiss cheese, allowing 100 total points in the past 3 outings, or 33.3 PPG.

Blue Bombers at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 32, Roughriders 19

Moneyline

Winnipeg (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive, even if the Bombers already won at Mosaic Stadium back in Week 2 by 18 points.

While the Bombers have won 5 straight games since Week 6, and they haven’t lost in regulation since Week 3, nothing is a sure thing. AVOID, and don’t risk triple your return.

Against the spread

WINNIPEG -7.5 (-110) isn’t my favorite play, as laying 7 and a hook in football games is an annoyance of mine. I much prefer a flat 7, or 6.5. It just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

However, the Bombers covered a similar number in a trip to Regina earlier this season, it cashed as a 7.5-point favorite last weekend against a solid Alouettes side, and Winnipeg has covered 4 in a row when favored between 6-9 points.

Over/Under

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

The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for Winnipeg, and the Bombers have rolled up 38 or more points in each of those instances. The Bombers have also recorded 28 or more points in 5 of the previous 6 outings, and they dropped a 45-burger on the Riders in the first matchup.

SSK comes in with 3 straight Over results, with the defense allowing 35.0 points per game (PPG) across the last 2. The Bombers have conceded at least 19 points in 6 straight games, too, and it allowed a season-high 45 to Winnipeg in Week 2.

Lions at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 26, Roughriders 13

Moneyline

In the Lions’ 7 wins, they have allowed an average of 8.3 points per game. In their 2 losses, they have allowed 45 and 50 points. The Roughriders have been held under 20 points 5 times. They have lost 4 of 5 while BC has won 4 of its last 5.

The Lions should have a fairly easy win but the line for the moneyline isn’t worth any action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Lions won the 1st meeting against the Roughrider by 10 and all 7 of their wins have been by at least 10 points. They are 6-0-1 ATS in their wins.

The Roughriders’ last 3 losses have been by double digits.

Over/Under

Only 2 of the Lions’ 7 wins have had 45 or more total points. The Over has hit only 3 times in their games this season. And their last meeting had 28 total points.

The Roughriders will struggle without Fine as they did last week, scoring only 12 points.

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Saskatchewan Roughriders at Montreal Alouettes Week 10 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders (4-4) and Montreal Alouettes (4-3) meet Friday at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Roughriders covered the spread as 2.5-point home underdogs in a 26-24 win vs. the Ottawa Redblacks Sunday. K Brett Lauther hit the game-winning 54-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining as Saskatchewan ended its 3-game skid.

The Alouettes covered as 3-point favorites with a 27-14 win at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Saturday. QB Cody Fajardo suffered a left shoulder injury in the win and will be a game-time decision to face his former team Friday.

These teams split last season’s series 1-1, with the winner covering in each meeting and the Over going 2-0.

Roughriders at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 26, Roughriders 14

Moneyline

Montreal (-225) should hand the Roughriders their 4th loss in 5 games, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Alouettes should win by margin.

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

Against the spread

The Alouettes have won and covered in back-to-back games, winning by an average margin of 10.0 points. Their only 3 losses this season were vs. the 3 teams that are most likely to win the Grey Cup (Toronto Argonauts +190, Winnipeg Blue Bombers +210 and BC Lions +375). Montreal should have no trouble covering vs. this Roughriders team that is 0-6-1 ATS in its last 7 games vs. teams with a winning record.

BET ALOUETTES -5.5 (-110).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Under is 6-1 in Saskatchewan’s last 7 road games and 16-6 in its last 22 after a win.

The Under has also hit in 8 of the Alouettes’ last 9 home games and should cash again Friday as Montreal’s defense picks up where it left off after allowing just 14 points last time out.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).
