Toronto at Hamilton (-5.5, 46.5)
In this Eastern holiday matchup, two teams get together hoping to end losing streaks. Toronto (2-6, 3-5 ATS) has lost four in a row, but at has been competitive in losing three of the games by eight or fewer points. The Argos desperately need offensive production and rank seventh in total offense and last in points scored at 19.2 per game. Indications are not good they will since Toronto is 1-8 ATS in road games after playing a game at home over the last two seasons.
Hamilton after a surprising start has dropped a pair to fall to 4-4 (6-2 ATS). Former Argo Arland Bruce is fitting nicely into the Ti-Cats attack, which has averaged almost 28 points per game in last four contests. Normally Hamilton struggles off a loss with 0-6 ATS record at home games after having lost two out of their last three games, but this season they are 4-1 against the spread off a cover.
This is a first two for these divisional rivals and Toronto has held the upper hand with 21-7-1 ATS record, including being 6-1 ATS at Hamilton.
Edmonton at Calgary (-6, 60)
The last game of the holiday weekend in the CFL has a tussle for lead in the West. Edmonton (5-3, 3-5 ATS) has the lead at the moment, having won four of last five and two straight. They’ve been paced by veteran quarterback Ricky Ray who leads the Eskimos, and Edmonton is tops in total offense and passing yards. Unfortunately they have been a bad bet with 0-6 ATS record after two or more consecutive straight up wins.
Calgary (4-4, 2-6 ATS) can tie for first with a home win; unfortunately they have been draining wagering accounts faster than airline fees with four spread losses in a row. The Stampeders have alternated wins and losses the last five games and hope to change that pattern with a home victory. Calgary held Toronto to 19 yards rushing in last outing and is 19-7 ATS after allowing 50 or less rushing yards last game.
The straight up winner of this matchup has covered the spread the last nine games, with the OVER 7-2.
