u62.5 (-108)
Unsurprisingly, Ottawa has scored by far the fewest points of any team, averaging just 23.4 per game. Toronto sits exactly in the middle of the pack in points scored, but has played to the Under in four consecutive games and eight of their last 10. In each of the Argos' last four games, neither team has scored more than 30 points.
This late-season matchup has Under written all over it, especially with an inexperienced QB getting the start and the Argos' recent tendencies to play low-scoring football.
TOR -11.5 (-110)
Death, taxes, and gargantuan spreads when playing the 0-16 Redblacks. Ottawa managed to cover in their last meeting, but have since failed to cover in three straight, all by multiple scores. The Argos are winners of four of their last five and are coming off a bye week.
Additionally, Ottawa hands the ball to Bryson Barnes -- who has attempted just 13 passes all season and has the third-worst QB rating in the league. Yeah, I'll back the Argos, who are within a game of three West Division teams and therefore still playing for home-field advantage in the postseason.

u55.5 (-108)
The Under has cashed in three consecutive contests between Winnipeg and Edmonton, with the highest total reaching 45 points during that span. Edmonton’s stop unit ranks first in opponent second-down conversion rate (44.6%) and trails only Toronto in quarterback sacks this season. With Winnipeg’s offence banged up, expect the Bombers to face several second-and-long situations and struggle to push this total Over. Playable to 54.5.
EDM -3.5 (-110)
The Edmonton Elks' defence has propelled the team from the West Division basement to the top of the standings following a remarkable 2026 resurgence, culminating in a 12-4 record heading into Friday night's matchup against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Edmonton is surrendering just 24.8 points per game, the fewest in the CFL, while holding opposing quarterbacks to a 64.1% completion rate and an 85.7 passer rating. Facing a Bombers offence that ranks dead last in touchdown drive percentage (17%) and has both star running back Brady Oliveira and slotback Nic Demski listed as questionable, expect the Elks to prevail by more than a field goal. Edmonton is 7-1 SU at home this season, and I'd play them at to -120 at this line.

o64.5 (-115)
Both the Lions and Stampeders are averaging more than 30 points per game this season, and with Calgary surrendering the second-most points per game in the league (33.8), expect a shootout at McMahon. BC’s defence also ranks No. 1 in limiting opponents’ rushing yards per game, so Calgary should be airing it out early and often, especially in a game-trailing script. Playable to -120.
BC (-135)
After starting the season 1-5, the BC Lions have quickly found their footing, emerging as the hottest team in the CFL with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. BC has rattled off nine wins in its last 10 contests, and its high-powered offence features both reigning MOP Nathan Rourke and a two-headed rushing attack led by Zander Horvath and James Butler. That ground game will torch a Calgary Stampeders defence surrendering a league-high 5.9 yards per carry. BC is also averaging 7.8 yards per play on first down, second only to Montreal, while Calgary has been incredibly undisciplined this season, averaging 8.5 penalties per game, the worst mark in the league. Taking the Leos on the moneyline is playable to -150.
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.
