o60.5 (-110)
Montreal is an incredible 11-2 to the full-game Over in 2026, spearheaded not only by Alexander but also by a receiving corps featuring Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead, who rank first and second, respectively, in CFL receiving yards. Although Frost has attempted fewer than 100 passes this season, the Ticats' offence should be able to do its part with a pass-heavy game script to help eclipse this total, especially with the Als down three starting defensive backs, including former All-Stars Wesley Sutton and Kabion Ento.
MTL -5.5 (-110)
With Bo Levi Mitchell on the IL, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have lost six of their last seven matchups, with four of those defeats coming by double digits. Now facing a Montreal Alouettes offence that is producing a league-best 35.5 points per game, the Ticats' D could be in for a long night. Hamilton's secondary is surrendering a 70% completion rate, while its defence has recorded just 19 sacks this season, second-fewest in the CFL behind only Ottawa. That's a nightmare matchup against Davis Alexander, who is running away with MOP consideration and leads all qualified starters with a 120.3 passer rating. With Ticats third-string QB Harrison Frost getting the start and rookie Brayden Szeman making his first career appearance at centre, expect Montreal to bounce back in Week 16 with a road cover.

u61.5 (-111)
Over 61.5 may be tempting for a game between two red-hot teams with strong offenses, especially with Toronto allowing the third-most total yards and second-most passing yards.
However, Edmonton has allowed the fewest total points in the league, and the second-fewest total yards, so I'm playing this to -120.
Toronto has played to the Under in seven of their last nine, with both Overs cashing by two points or fewer. Edmonton has played to the Under in five of their last nine.
EDM -1.5 (-102)
The Argos have won three of four, the most recent of which was an unconvincing 26-23 win over the winless Ottawa Redblacks. They're just 3-3 against West Division teams, while the Elks are 4-1 out of division.
They're winning by an average of 20 points during a current four-game win streak.
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.
