o60.5 (-110)
The Calgary Stampeders turn almost every game into a high-scoring shootout. They lead the league in PPG (37.8), but also give up the second-most PPG (32.7). That's led them to hit the Over in eight of 10 games this season. While the Tiger-Cats' offense hasn't been the same without Bo Levi Mitchell, their defense has helped them hit the Over in two of their last three (that includes against the Stampeders).
With both Vernon Adams Jr. and Dedrick Mills trending toward playing for the Calgary Stampeders, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defense will be in trouble. Hamilton has allowed 31.5 PPG over its last seven outings, including giving up 44 to Calgary. The Stamps lead the CFL in PPG (37.8) and have put up 30+ in eight of their last nine. Hamilton has scored more than 24 just once in its last eight.

u62.5 (-108)
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are 2-5 betting the Over since the beginning of July. This game total is also a few points higher than it should be because of the Toronto Argonauts. The Argos hit the Over in four straight to start the season and the books overreacted as a result. Toronto has hit the Under in five of its last six.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have struggled away from home the last few weeks, but finally return to Regina. That should help them get back on track, especially against a Toronto Argonauts defense that allows the third-most PPG (31.1).

u60.5 (-108)
The Ottawa Redblacks might struggle to put even 20 points on the board against the BC Lions, especially with weather expected to be a factor. Ottawa's offense has been non-existent down the stretch, with the Redblacks averaging 17.5 PPG over their last four games. Since July 3, Ottawa has scored more than 22 points just once. Meanwhile, the Lions have one of the top defenses in the league and are giving up only 22 PPG over their last seven games.
The Ottawa Redblacks are having one of the worst seasons in CFL history, and it's only getting worse. After starting the season 3-3 ATS, Ottawa has failed to cover in four straight games and remains winless (0-10). The Redblacks haven't lost a game by less than double digits in over a month, and the BC Lions have the defense to handle Ottawa another ATS loss. BC is allowing the third-fewest PPG in the league (26.7).
Our experts and prediction models are hard at work analyzing the data. Check back shortly for today's picks, or explore our Computer Picks for inspiration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
