Analyzing Sunday’s Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Grey Cup odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers meet in the 111th Grey Cup Sunday. Kickoff from BC Place in Vancouver is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network / TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts have won 6 of their last 8 games to get to the Grey Cup, and their 2 losses were by a combined 3 points. They routed the Ottawa Redblacks 58-38 in the East semifinal and then sneaked by the Montreal Alouettes — the winners of last year’s Grey Cup — 30-28 in the East final, pushing as 2-point favorites.

The Blue Bombers are in their fifth consecutive Grey Cup, but have lost the last 2. They began the season 0-4, then 2-6, but have since won 10 of 11 games. They finished at the top of the West division and beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 38-22 in the West final, covering as 3-point favorites.

Winnipeg’s only 2 losses in its last 12 games have been to Toronto, 16-14 in OT in Week 8 and 14-11 in Week 19.

Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 31, Argonauts 19

Moneyline

Toronto will be without Kelly, its starting QB, so QB Nick Arbuckle will get the nod against Blue Bombers QB Zach Collaros, who has been part of 3 Grey Cup championships and has won Most Outstanding Player twice.

But Toronto held Winnipeg to 25 total points in 2 wins this season.

The Argonauts have beaten the Blue Bombers in all 7 Grey Cup matchups historically.

But between Winnipeg’s No. 1 defense and Toronto playing without Kelly, the Blue Bombers should win the Cup.

But -450 odds are not worth betting.

PASS.

Against the spread

Despite the Blue Bombers being heavy favorites, even with Kelly out, Toronto’s defense held the Blue Bombers in check this season. The 2 regular-season meetings were the fewest points that Toronto had allowed to an opponent. But since its 14-11 win at the Blue Bombers Oct. 11, it has allowed 28 or more points in 4 straight games.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The 2 previous matchups combined for 55 total points.

The Over has hit in both of Toronto’s playoff games, as well as in the West final for Winnipeg.

But while Winnipeg will see its offense do well, Toronto will struggle enough against the No. 1 defense in points allowed.

BET UNDER 51.5 (-105).

West final: Saskatchewan Roughriders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West final Saturday. Kickoff from Princess Auto Stadium is scheduled for 6:30 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 went 9-8-1 in the regular season, winning 4 of their final 5 games. In the West semifinal Nov. 2, they beat the BC Lions at home, 28-19, picking off Lions QB Vernon Adams Jr. 3 times, covering as 4.5-point favorites.

Winnipeg finished in first place in the West, going 11-7 and earning an opening-round playoff bye. Starting out 0-4, it won 9 of its last 10 games, closing the season out Oct. 26 with a 28-27 road win over the Montreal Alouettes, failing to cover as a 7.5-point favorite.

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).

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (10-7) and Montreal Alouettes (12-4-1) wrap up their regular seasons Saturday. Kickoff from Percival Molson Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (TSN / CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Bombers vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Blue Bombers were idle last week. Before their week off, they had their 8-game winning streak snapped in a 14-11 home loss to the Toronto Argonauts Oct. 11 as 4-point favorites. They have clinched a playoff berth and lead the Saskatchewan Roughriders by a half-game in the West Division.

The Alouettes have clinched the East Division, but are 2-3-1 in their last 6 games. They were 3-point road underdogs against the BC Lions Oct. 19 and lost 27-3.

These teams last played June 6 in Winnipeg. Montreal won 27-12 as a 7.5-point underdog.

Blue Bombers at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 24, Alouettes 20

Moneyline

Winnipeg, the loss 2 weeks ago aside, is rested and the much hotter team between the 2, winning 8 of its last 9 games.

The Alouettes have only 2 wins in their last 6 games. They have failed to score 20 points in 3 of their last 5 games.

Winnipeg should get the win, but as heavy favorites, the -350 odds make any moneyline bet on the favorites not good.

PASS.

Against the spread

Winnipeg’s last 3 wins have been by more than a touchdown.

The Alouettes have been underdogs only 3 times this season. They are 2-1 ATS in those games.

BET ALOUETTES +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Four of the last 5 for Montreal have not even reached 40 total points.

Four of the last 5 for Winnipeg have not reached 46.

BET UNDER 45.5 (-110).

Argonauts at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 33, Argonauts 27

The Blue Bombers (-200) are rolling. Only once in the last 10 games have they allowed more than 30 points.

Toronto has scored 31 or more points in 3 straight games, but has also allowed over 30 in its last 3.

The Argonauts are 2-5 on the road. Winnipeg is 6-2 at home.

The Blue Bombers should win this, but the moneyline isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

The Argonauts have only covered the spread once in their last 6 losses.

The Blue Bombers are 7-1 ATS in their 8-game winning streak. Their last 4 wins have been by at least 5 points.

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

Analyzing Friday’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 18 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Week 18 kicks off Friday with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-6) on the road to face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-9), Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Tim Hortons Field. 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 clinched a playoff spot behind 7 straight wins. They lead the West Division, just ahead of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-7-1). They are coming off consecutive wins over the Edmonton Elks, most recently a 55-27 home victory as 3.5-point favorites with the Over (49) easily cashing.

Hamilton enters on a 4-game win streak, which oddly followed a 4-game skid. However, the T-Cats are in last place in the East Division. Their most recent outing was a 32-29 victory as 7-point underdogs vs. the BC Lions with the Over (54.5) hitting Sept. 27.

Blue Bombers at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 34, Blue Bombers 31

Moneyline

The Tiger-Cats have scored 31 or more points in all 4 games of their current win streak and, despite having allowed the most points in the league (469), they have allowed 27.3 points per game in their streak, with an opponent scoring over 30 only once in that span.

The Blue Bombers are 3-4 on the road and have allowed only 18.4 points per game in their 7-game winning streak but allowed 27 or more twice in their last 4 games. However, they have surpassed 30 points just twice in the streak.

With a playoff berth wrapped up and Hamilton rolling offensively, here is nice shot at an upset.

BET TIGER-CATS (+165).

Against the spread

Hamilton is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games — all as an underdog — winning 4 outright.

Winnipeg is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 and 6-1 ATS in its last 7.

But looking for the outright upset, the moneyline is the better option.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 11 of Hamilton’s 15 games this season, in 4 straight and 6 of 7.

Winnipeg is 4-11 O/U this season but the Over has cashed in in 2 of the last 4.

Edmonton Elks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Edmonton Elks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (5-9) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8-6) play the 2nd half of a home-and-home series Friday. Kickoff from Princess Auto Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

In the 1st half of the home-and-home set Saturday, the Blue Bombers covered as 2.5-point road favorites in a 27-14 win with the Under (50) hitting. Winnipeg used a 17-0 run in the 4th quarter, including a pair of TD runs by RB Brady Oliveira, to break a 10-10 tie at the end of the 3rd.

After starting the season 0-4, Winnipeg has gone 8-2 over its last 10 games. It is in 1st place in the West and can clinch a playoff spot with a victory Friday.

The Elks are expected to start QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson Friday after QB Tre Ford threw 2 INTs and recorded a fumble in Saturday’s loss. Edmonton is 4th in the West and needs at least 2 wins to overtake the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the 3rd and final playoff spot.

The Blue Bombers have won the last 11 meetings between these teams and have covered in 2 straight.

Elks at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 25, Elks 14

Moneyline

The Blue Bombers (-225) will be extra motivated to win and become the 1st team in the West to clinch. However, it’s hard to win long term betting into lines with this much vig.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

These are the 2 hottest teams in the CFL right now, with Edmonton going 6-1 ATS over its last 7 games and Winnipeg going 5-1 ATS over its last 6. The Blue Bombers have a clear motivational edge in this game, though: If they win, they’re in the playoffs.

The Elks’ odds of making the postseason drastically dropped with Saturday’s home loss. I have no interest in taking the points with a lower-ranked team that is on the road and probably already knows its season is over.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under has gone 12-2 in Blue Bombers games this season, with Winnipeg allowing 16 points or fewer in 4 of its last 7. Don’t expect a dead cat bounce from Edmonton’s offense — Winnipeg’s defense has more to play for at this point.

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).

Tiger-Cats at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 33, Tiger-Cats 13

Moneyline

After a poor start, Winnipeg is among the hotter teams in the league going against the Tiger-Cats, who have allowed 33 or more points in 3 straight games. Opponents have not scored more than 19 points in the Bombers’ last 4 games.

But at -530 odds, you should certainly not be betting that.

PASS.

Against the spread

Three of Hamilton’s last 4 losses have been by more than 10 points. The Tiger-Cats have failed to cover the spread in any loss this season.

The Blue Bombers have covered the spread in 3 of their 4 wins.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -10.5 (-102).

Over/Under

The Blue Bombers’ last 4 games and 6 of their last 7 have not surpassed 48 total points. Opponents have not scored more than 19 points in 4 games.

But the last 6 games for Hamilton all have had 49 or more total points.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-110).
