Head coach Ryan Dinwiddie seemed exasperated following Ottawa's latest loss to Saskatchewan, admitting the team's football intelligence hasn't been up to par. The average margin of victory sits at 7.5 points league-wide, and I wouldn't be surprised if this line moves further in Edmonton's favor by kickoff.

Ottawa continues to stall out in opponent territory, having already settled for a CFL-high 13 field goals entering Week 6 play. With Maier ranking last in QB completion percentage (66.9%) and recording only three completions of 30+ yards, I don't have much faith in the road team doing its part to push this game past the total — the highest either team has seen this season. Playable to 57.5.

Winnipeg doesn't miss a beat with their backup quarterback under center versus Toronto.

With Bo Levi Mitchell presumably out for the season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' offense is about to face major headwinds. Neither Tre Ford nor Jake Dolegala inspires much confidence under center, and it doesn't help that Saskatchewan has won four straight meetings against Hamilton dating back to 2024, covering the spread as the favorite in each. The Roughriders are playable to -10.5.
