CFL - BETTING & FANTASY

OTTAWA REDBLACKS  @  MONTREAL ALOUETTES

Montreal -12.5✅ / Over✅. Als are 8-1, rested, and rolling with elite QB/WR play (Davis Alexander + Tyson Philpot). Ottawa is 0-9 with major defensive and depth issues. High-scoring potential at home.

WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS  @  EDMONTON ELKS

Edmonton -5❌ / Under✅ lean. Elks looked sharp in the 42-12 win and play well at home. Bombers got Collaros back but face a tougher test on the road. Edmonton has covered as home favorites recently.

HAMILTON TIGER-CATS  @  TORONTO ARGONAUTS

Hamilton +3❌ / Under❌ lean. Ticats just upset Saskatchewan and have momentum. Toronto is coming off a 30-point road loss and has been inconsistent. Value on the road dog in a rivalry game.

SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS  @  B.C. LIONS

BC -1✅ or ML✅ / Over❌ lean. Lions are on a three-game win streak with Rourke healthy and the run game contributing. Riders dropped a tough one in Hamilton. Competitive West matchup with scoring upside.

FANTASY PICKS

  • Davis Alexander + Montreal skill players (Tyson Philpot, Travis Theis if available) — Rested Als should put up big numbers vs. the league’s worst defence. Stack the home favourites
  • Cody Fajardo + Edmonton weapons — Elks just torched Toronto; strong home matchup vs. Winnipeg.
  • Hamilton dual-threat options or secondary pieces if the game stays competitive or they trail.
