CFL Odds: Alouettes head west to Calgary

The top two teams in the CFL face off in a possible 2010 Grey Cup preview when the Montreal Alouettes travel out west to play the Calgary Stampeders. This Week 14 matchup is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 1 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. (PT).
It took a dramatic come-from-behind effort, but Montreal clinched a playoff berth with a 44-40 win over Winnipeg last Friday night. The Alouettes failed to cover as five-point road favorites and the total went way ‘over’ the 52 ½-point line.
The victory moved Montreal to 9-3 on the year straight-up but dropped it to just 6-6 against the CFL betting spread. The Alouettes now lead the East Division by three full games over Hamilton and Toronto. They will be on the road again this week where they are 4-2 SU and 2-4 ATS.
Calgary dropped its second straight game last week, but still clinched a spot in the playoffs as well. The Stampeders lost to Saskatchewan 43-37 in overtime in Week 12 and followed that up with an ugly 29-10 loss to British Columbia last Saturday night. They failed to cover the spread in both games as they were 3 ½-point favorites on the road against the Roughriders and 11-point home favorites last week against the Lions. Calgary is now 9-3 SU on the season and 8-4 ATS. The Stampeders are 5-1 SU at home and 4-2 ATS.
This will be the first of a home-and-home series between these two teams as they play again next week in Montreal. Over the past 10 games of this series each team has won five games both SU and ATS. The home team is 4-6 both SU and ATS and the total has stayed ‘under’ in six of the 10 games. Recently, the slight edge goes to the Alouettes as they won both games last season SU and ATS.
These two teams are also evenly matched on paper. Calgary leads the league with 406 total points scored and Montreal is second with 388. The Stamps are averaging 429.7 yards of total offense per game and the Alouettes are averaging 402.1. Defensively they are neck and neck as well as Calgary is ranked first in the league in points allowed; giving up an average of 22.8 points per game, while Montreal ranked second, giving up an average of 24.2.
Star power could be the difference in this game in a battle between two of the best quarterbacks in the league. Anthony Calvillo leads the way for the Alouettes while Henry Burris has been getting the job done for the Stampeders. Calvillo has thrown for 3,276 total yards, 22 TD’s and only four interceptions, but missed a couple of games with a bruised sternum. Burris has thrown for 3,340 yards and leads the league with 24 TD passes, but he is also tied for the lead in interceptions with 16.
Sportsinteraction.com opened Calgary as a three-point home favorite with the CFL odds ‘total’ line is set at 56. The Stampeders will find a way to come away with the outright win as they have Saskatchewan breathing down their neck in the West Division and realize they have to go on the road against this same team next week, but the Alouettes find a way to cover the three points in a nail-biter.

CFL Betting Odds: Roughriders at Argonauts

The chase for the postseason is in full gear as the Saskatchewan Roughriders try and close the gap with Calgary in the West Division with a win on the road over the Toronto Argonauts. This Week 14 matchup is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. (PT).
Saskatchewan is coming off a big 32-25 win over Hamilton last Saturday to move within one game of Calgary for the lead in the West Division. The Roughriders covered as a 1 ½-point road favorite and the total went ‘over’ the 53 ½-point line. They are now 8-4 straight-up on the year and 7-5 against the spread. Calgary has lost its last two games to fall to 9-3 on the year. Saskatchewan has struggled on the road this season as it is just 2-4 SU and 3-3 ATS.
Toronto is taking on water as it has now lost four of its last five games both SU and ATS. Last week the Argonauts fell to lowly Edmonton 24-6 as a three-point home favorite. The total in this game stayed way ‘under’ the 49-point total. They are now 6-6 SU and ATS on the year and tied with Hamilton for second place in the East Division. Playing at home should provide a slight advantage in this game as Toronto is 4-2 both SU and ATS.
Top CFL Betting Odds at 5Dimes.
This will be the first of a home-and-home series between these two teams as they will face one another again next week in Saskatchewan. The Roughriders have won seven of the last 10 meetings SU between these two and is 5-4-1 ATS. They have actually won the last four SU but are just 1-2-1 ATS. The home team is 4-6 SU and just 2-7-1 ATS in the last 10 games of this series. The total has gone ‘over’ in six of these 10 games.
Statistically, Saskatchewan has a significant edge on offense in this game. The Roughriders are ranked third in total points scored with 353, while the Argonauts are ranked seventh with 243. Saskatchewan is averaging 420.2 total yards per game, second only to Calgary. Toronto is ranked last in the league, averaging just 323.1 total yards per game.
Defensively these teams are much more evenly matched. The Roughriders are giving up an average of 398.2 yards and 27.4 points per game and the Alouettes are giving up an average of 406.7 yards and 26.4 points per game.
Sportsinteraction.com has opened Saskatchewan as a four-point road favorite at the CFL betting window. Friday's 'total' is set at 48 ½. Toronto has not played a solid game since its 37-22 win over Montreal in Week 7.
The Roughriders have the momentum and fully realize that a win in this game would set up a great opportunity for the series sweep at home next week. Take Saskatchewan and give the four points in this one.

MONTREAL AT CALGARY (FRIDAY AT 9:00 PM ET)

Not only is this the game of the week in the CFL, it is a game between two teams going in opposite directions. The Als will come into McMahon Stadium riding a three game winning streak and secure in the knowledge that they have all but wrapped up another first place finish in the East.

The Stamps, meanwhile, are in need of a serious spark. Calgary has lost two straight and all of a sudden the Riders are only two points behind in them in the race for first place in the West. Adding to the gravity of this game for the Stamps is the fact they will have to play this same Alouettes team next week in the CFL’s version of “Death Valley”, Molson Stadium.

As much as I like Henry Burris, Anthony Calvillo brings an intangible to the Als’ offence that no other quarterback in the league can lay claim to. Everyone in that Alouettes huddle knows that if AC is healthy and there is some time left on the clock then they have a shot to win the game.

John Hufnagel is obsessed with attention to detail and you can be sure that he’s drilled into the heads of the Stamps all week of playing a full 60 minutes against the Als. While it seems like an obvious request from his coach to his players, not all teams play a full 60 minutes. That is the big challenge this week for Hufnagel, to make sure the Stamps play hard to every whistle until the clock reads: 00 at the end of the game.

The other concern for Hufnagel is which Henry Burris will show up. Will it be the Burris that had a quarterback rating of 140 in his superb performance against the Eskimos back in August or the one that had a QB rating of 27 last week against BC? Week in and week out, Als Coach Marc Trestman knows what to expect to from Calvillo.

I am really looking forward to seeing how the game within the game unfolds between Mike Labinjo and the Stamps front seven going up against Scott Flory and the Als big offensive line. Somehow the Stamps front seven need to get pressure on Calvillo in such a way that he isn’t able to get the ball off to studs like Jamel Richardson and Ben Cahoon before he is hit. And as we all know, that is a lot easier said than it is done.

I am also looking forward to seeing how Als linebacker Chip Cox handles Stamps running back Joffrey Reynolds.

The weather won’t be a factor as Environment Canada is calling for a picture perfect night for football.

Canadian Bacon: CFL Week 14 Analysis and predictions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SATURDAY

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Toronto Argonauts (+4, 49)

Darian Durant, the CFL’s Player of the Month, could make the difference in Toronto Saturday. Durant, a five-year veteran, dominates the Cohon circuit with 3,861 passing yards and 441 attempted passes. He is currently third in rushing TDs with five and ninth in rushing yards with 452. Running back Wes Cates may have slowed down but he still is on the verge of having 21 touchdowns this year.

As for Toronto, Ronald Flemons and Chad Owens have also dominated September and both were among the Player of the Month picks. Defensive end Flemons has recorded four tackles, four sacks, broke up two passes and got a tackle for loss yards in his last four games. On Special Teams, Chad Owens gained 639 yards on kickoff returns, 241 yards and a touchdown on punt returns and 111 yards on missed field goals returns. The Argos will also count on the comeback of their spectacular RB Corey Boyd, who’s been inactive for two weeks because of a concussion.

But it is also because of concussion that their starting QB Cleo Lemon will likely be replaced by Dalton Bell.

Pick: Saskatchewan


Winnipeg Blue Bombers at B.C. Lions (-4, 53)

Can a team have worse luck than the Blue Bombers? Their last three defeats came by a margin of four points, including last week’s lost to the Alouettes where they scored 40 points. It was the first time in 10 years that they lost despite such a productive offensive showing. The Bombers lost six of their last seven games and will attempt to stop a two-loss streak this weekend.

This curse continues plague the Bombers, with starting QB Steven Jyles listed as doubtful with the flu. Still, the Bombers have no choice. To have any hope of making it to the playoffs they need a win right now. If Jyles is in no shape to play, it will be Alex Brink, the third QB on the depth chart following the injury to Buck Pierce. He is the one who had the most reps this week in practice.

The Bombers and the Lions do share the fact that they give up almost as many points as they produce. The Bombers generated 331 points but gave up 334 in 12 games. The Lions scored 305 points but allowed as many in that span. The Lions will be looking for their second win in a row and just their second win in seven games. It won’t be easy but they should prevail.

CFL Odds: Tiger-Cats at Edmonton Eskimos

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look to move their record back above .500 with a victory over the Edmonton Eskimos, who are currently in last place in the West Division. This Week 14 matchup is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. (PT).

Hamilton remained in a tie for second place with Toronto in the East Division by virtue of its 32-25 loss to Saskatchewan last Saturday after blowing a 15-point lead. The Tiger-Cats also failed to cover the spread as a 1 ½-point home favorite. The total went ‘over’ the 53 ½-point line.

The loss dropped them to 6-6 both straight-up and against the CFL betting spread for the year. Hamilton has been consistent both at home and on the road this season as it is 3-3 SU and ATS either way.

Edmonton kept its faint playoff hopes alive with an impressive 24-6 win over Toronto as a three-point road underdog on the strength of six interceptions of Argonaut QB Cleo Lemon. The total stayed well ‘under’ the 49-point line in a defensive battle.

Top NFL Betting Odds at EasyStreatsSports.

The win moved the Eskimos to 3-9 SU on the year and 4-8 ATS. They are currently in last place in the West, but only one game behind British Columbia for the final spot in the postseason. They are 2-4 SU and ATS at home this season.

This will be the first of a home-and-home series between these two teams as they will face one another again next week in Hamilton. This has been a tight series over the past few years with each team winning five of the last 10 games SU. Hamilton has a huge advantage ATS, covering in nine of these games including eight as an underdog. The home team has won eight out of 10 games SU but just four out of 10 ATS. The total has stayed ‘under’ in six of these games.

Statistically, both these team’s offense rank near the bottom of the league in almost every major category. The Eskimos are last in total points scored with 216 and seventh in average yards per game with 326.1. The Tiger-Cats are last in time of possession, averaging 27:03 minutes per game and last in average rushing yards per game with 92.2.

Defensively, Edmonton is giving up an average of 31.5 points per game, which is also last in the league, while Hamilton is giving up an average of 26.5 points per game, which is ranked fifth.

Sportsinteraction.com has opened Hamilton as a one-point favorite and the ‘over/under’ line is set at 50 ½. This is a golden opportunity for the Tiger-Cats to improve their playoff position by getting a win on the road against the worst team in the league. It would also set the ground work for a two game sweep with a win next week at home.

Take Hamilton to improve its ATS advantage in this series to wins in 10 out of 11 games.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Edmonton Eskimos (+1, 50.5)

DeAndra Cobb seems to be back on track after a tough start and now he is the fourth-best ball carrier in the league.

Veteran SB Kamau Peterson was back at practice for the Eskimos and could be available this Sunday. Linebacker Maurice Lloyd, RB Calvin McCarty, DB Randy Drew and DE Kai Ellis should also be back in the lineup. Slotback Kelly Campbell still remains doubtful as well as DB Lawrence Gordon.

The Tiger-Cats have better offensive production than the Eskimos, as well as a more efficient defense. In 12 games, Hamilton scored 295 points and gave up only 318 while the Eskimos only scored 225 and allowed 378.

Pick: Edmonton
