While BC’s defence has really found its form, it’s still running into an elite Calgary offence, with quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. and RB Dedrick Mills spearheading a unit that’s averaging a CFL-best 35.0 points per game. Meanwhile, Calgary’s D is allowing 7.25 yards per play, with only winless Ottawa allowing more. The Over has cashed in five straight meetings between these two Western rivals, and I expect another shootout on Thursday night. Playable to 64.5.

Before falling to Calgary in Week 4, BC had won four consecutive meetings against the Stampeders, winning three of them by double digits. The Stamps are just 1-3 SU at home, so I’ll take the points with a Lions team that has won two straight and is finally healthy on offence.

The Ottawa Redblacks have the worst defense in the CFL, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers haven't been much better. These two are allowing a combined 66.5 PPG this season. And with Zach Collaros back for Winnipeg, the Blue Bombers offense can do the heavy lifting for this Over.

With the Winnipeg Blue Bombers getting QB Zach Collaros back, they have a major advantage at home against the 0-8 Ottawa Redblacks. Ottawa's defense is the worst in the CFL, allowing a league-high 36.1 PPG and 458.5 yards per game. The Redblacks are 1-3 ATS in their last four.

Thanks to Toronto's penchant for turning games into shootouts, this is the highest game total the Edmonton Elks have had this season. But the Elks' defense is top-three in the league in points allowed (27.6), and Toronto's struggled to hit the Over as of late because the totals have gotten so high. The Argos have hit the Under in four straight.

The Edmonton Elks have been a force at home this season. They're 4-0 ATS in Edmonton and the Toronto Argonauts' one-dimensional approach should help the Elks stay undefeated. Toronto's inability to play defense has killed it this year. The Argos are allowing 31.1 PPG and are 1-3 ATS in their last four games outside of Toronto.

What's The Deal With This CFL Computer Picks Table?

The above table shows the result of the last 100 CFL computer picks. This table features important information you can use to shape your Canadian Football League bets, like the public consensus, ATS and totals. Before you throw up your hands in frustration like a center watching his quarterback get sacked 13 seconds after the snap, we'll explain the ins and outs of betting on the CFL.

ROI

This amount is the profit (or loss) based on a bettor placing $100 on each of the last 100 CFL picks made by the computer on both the opening and closing lines. "To Win" represents the win based on moneyline bets. "ATS" signifies the win based on wagers against the spread. "Total O/U" shows the amount bettors would win on Over or Under wagers.

Record Keeping

Wins are listed first, losses second, and pushes or ties are third. Since there are no ties in CFL moneyline betting, if there is a push listed, that would mean the computer predicted a tie and wouldn't have placed a wager on that game.

At Odds Shark, we want you to have everything you need to make smart CFL wagers, which is why you'll also see the predicted score. The predicted score can give you a hint about which way to bet. For instance, if Hamilton is playing Ottawa and the predicted score is 31.4-18.4 for the Tiger-Cats, you could make a simple moneyline bet. For moneyline bets you would only need to bet on one team to triumph over the other. In this case if you picked Hamilton and they won, you'd win your moneyline bet. On the other hand, if the Redblacks won, you'd lose your bet.

Looking For Expert Picks On The CFL Tonight?

Our supercomputer generates expert picks that can help you cover the spread for every game. Take a gander at our computer predictions and take advantage of our free picks before you place any money on the CFL wagerline.

Because we're usually biased in our opinions, our judgment can become cloudy when it comes to betting on the CFL. The good news is, our supercomputer couldn't give a flying Nanaimo bar if you have a thing for that magical Henry Burris smile. Our computer only cares about data. Plus, Burris is retired, so making a bet on him would be a complete waste of money.

Anyway, our computer knows who's retired, who's starting, which teams are on pace to win their matchups, and which teams could get eradicated by a single point (aka rouge). Instead of relying on analysts and your friend who thinks he knows everything about the Stamps because he went to one game, use our supercomputer to shape your CFL bets.

Nowadays, more and more bettors like yourself are relying on the Odds Shark computers to come up with impartial stats-focused CFL predictions. When the stats are precise, the handicapping measurements and algorithms are solid, then you don't have to worry about our computer making improper predictions. Our computer is reliable like Milt Stegall in his 14 years with Winnipeg.
