Despite falling 37-30 to Montreal last week, the BC Lions outgained the Montreal Alouettes by more than 100 yards. Ultimately, settling for five field goals and turning the ball over three times proved costly, but this Lions offence will bounce back against an Alouettes unit that is listing starting DBs Najee Murray and Wesley Sutton as questionable this time around. Despite their recent shortcomings, the Leos continue to move the ball at an elite pace, averaging 7.49 yards per play in 2026. Their season-long red-zone TD rate is 71.4%, so expect positive regression on Saturday. BC had won five straight before their Week 14 loss in La Belle Province, so I’m backing Nathan Rourke & Co. to bounce back on home turf. Playable to -135.

These teams have combined to cash the Over in 17 of their 24 regular-season games this season, and I'd play this total to 64.5. While the Alouettes may be shorthanded defensively, Davis Alexander and the Montreal offence are producing touchdowns on 30% of their drives this season, so they should have no problem keeping the ball moving on Saturday. The Als are averaging a whopping 37.3 points per game over their last six contests, while BC has reached 30+ five times over that same span.

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.
