Montreal at British Columbia (-7, 52)
Two teams from different conferences collide, each presently heading in opposite directions. Montreal (2-2 SU & ATS) has lost two in a row after starting 2-0 and British Columbia (2-2 SU & ATS) has posted a couple of victories, after beginning 0-2. Don’t blame quarterback Anthony Cavillo for the Alouettes losses, since he was again brilliant, completing 29 of 41 passes for 352 yards with four touchdowns. The mystery for Montreal is why they have abandoned the running game. In the first two wins, they average 26 rushes per game, in the ensuing losses, a grand total of 11 rush attempts. The Alouettes are just 1-6 ATS following a spread loss.
British Columbia has stepped up their game in recent weeks; still it hasn’t been easy, needing 16-0 fourth quarter to defeat and cover versus Winnipeg in week four. QB Jarious Jackson spear-headed offense that totaled 529 yards, yet stumbled committing three turnovers. The Lions defense is rounding into form, up to second in total defense. B.C. is in the part of the schedule they have excelled; with 36-16 ATS mark in weeks 5 thru 9.
British Columbia is seven point favorite and has won and covered four of last five regular season meetings. These two squads have opposite records playing on Friday’s. Montreal is 7-21 ATS on Friday’s playing on the road and the Lions are 8-3-1 ATS. It will not be a shocker if this goes Under the total and Alouettes cover at this price.
Edmonton at Hamilton (+2, 53)
Hamilton (1-3 SU & ATS) has arguably been the biggest disappointment in the CFL this season. With what was an overhauled roster, which saw supposedly upgrades across the board in terms of talent, the Tiger-Cats have not meshed. Having tailback Jesse Lumsden back will help the offense, as he sat out last week’s loss to Calgary, as precautionary measure. Lumsden is averaging robust 7.5 yards per carry and takes the onus off inconsistent QB Casey Printers. This doesn’t explain the defense caving in, giving up 43 points and Hamilton is 6-17 ATS after allowing 40 points or more last game.
Edmonton (2-2, SU & ATS) suffered disappointment on a couple of fronts last week. Leading Toronto by three points, with just over a minute to play, they allowed Toronto to march 109 yards for the winning score. Prior to that, DE Fred Perry suffered broken leg and dislocated ankle, ending their best defensive lineman’s season. The Eskimos defense is being ripped by opposing teams, surrendering 32 PPG and next to last 427.2 YPG.
Edmonton is a slight favorite, which spells trouble for backers. The Eskimos are 4-17-1 ATS when facing team with losing record and 3-13 ATS as a favorite. A system in high standing favors the Ticats - Play On underdogs or pick, after two or more consecutive losses against the spread, with a losing record. This system has won 75 percent of the time since 2004.
