CFL - BETTING & FANTASY

1. B.C. LIONS @ WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS

Winnipeg ML or -6.5/7.5. BC starting a new/inexperienced QB (Kaidon Salter expected) on short week in a tough road environment.

2. MONTREAL ALOUETTES @ OTTAWA REDBLACKS

Montreal ML / cover. Trap-game risk exists (short week + looking ahead to Edmonton), but talent gap is large vs. winless Ottawa. Montreal has been efficient and dominant.

3. CALGARY STAMPEDERS @ HAMILTON TIGER-CATS

Calgary -4.5. Adams Jr. is on a historic tear (long TD streak, zero INTs in that stretch). Calgary’s offence has been explosive; Hamilton’s defence is solid but faces a tough test.

4. SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS @ EDMONTON ELKS

Saskatchewan +1.5 / ML value. Rematch of a 36-34 thriller. Both offences can explode, but Riders should tighten up defensively after allowing huge yardage. Close, hard-fought game expected.

5. FANTASY PICKS

  • Vernon Adams Jr. (CGY) and key receivers/RBs (including Tyreik McAllister) — Adams is on a historic efficiency run and Calgary’s offence has been putting up big numbers.
  • Cody Fajardo (EDM) and Trevor Harris (SSK) — Both lit it up in the Week 8 thriller; the rematch should still produce solid volume even if total yardage is slightly lower.
  • Montreal skill players (Davis Alexander, Travis Theis, top receivers) — High floor against a struggling Ottawa defence, though watch for any letdown.
  • Brady Oliveira (WPG) — Proven workhorse RB at home vs. a BC team in flux.
