There are three more games on the CFL schedule for Week 2.
The latest: The action begins on Friday with the Montreal Alouettes visiting the Ottawa Redblacks. That will be followed up by a doubleheader on Saturday with the Toronto Argonauts looking for their first win over the Calgary Stampeders.
Check out this CFL Week 2 parlay for the games on June 13-14, featuring a pick on the Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
CFL Week 2 parlay picks
Parlay: Alouettes ML | Stampeders +2.5 | Roughriders ML (+298)
Alouettes ML (-235): Montreal made a statement in Week 1, beating the Argonauts 28-10, led by a strong rushing attack that ran for 6.27 yards per carry.
Davis Alexander was decent at quarterback (19 of 26, 205 yards), but Toronto has a good defence, so that performance should be taken with a grain of salt.
Sean Thomas Erlington rushed for 86 yards on 17 carries (5.1 YPC) and looks primed to be a bell cow for Montreal this season.
Playing primarily as a backup, the 32-year-old has averaged 5.9 YPC on 247 career carries.
Ottawa fought hard against the Roughriders but ended up allowing 31 points in its Week 1 loss. The Redblacks allowed Saskatchewan’s halfbacks to combine for 78 yards on 17 carries (4.59 YPC).
The team did score 26 points, but that was behind a huge performance from Dru Brown (34 of 41, 413 yards, two TDs). Unfortunately, Brown has been ruled out for Week 2, leaving a hole at QB.
Additionally, Montreal went 3-0 vs. Ottawa in 2024.
Other parlay picks
Stampeders +2.5 (-124): Calgary won its Week 1 matchup as an underdog and looks for a repeat performance over the Argonauts.
- Chad Kelly remains out for Toronto, leaving Nick Arbuckle as the starter for Week 2.
- Arbuckle struggled last week, throwing for 273 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
- The Argo’s backup QB has thrown 28 TDs and 34 INTs in his CFL career.
When Kelly comes back, I expect Toronto to look like a true contender. But until then, I can’t get behind this Argonauts offence.
On top of that, the Stampeders are 1-0 off the back of some great offseason acquisitions.
Vernon Adams Jr. is an established CFL starter. Plus, they added receivers like former All-CFL wideout Dominique Rhymes and former NFL receiver Tevin Jones.
I like Calgary as a dark-horse contender in 2025. So, I’ll back them to put up another competitive outing against an Argos squad dealing with injuries.
Roughriders ML (-165): The Roughriders handled the Redblacks in Week 1 and will now face the Tiger-Cats, who had the worst scoring defence last season (30.9 PPG).
Trevor Harris is coming off his best season as a CFL QB, and receiver Samuel Emilus looks on track for a third straight 1,000-yard season.
Harris connected with Emilus on all eight of his targets for 133 yards and a TD in Week 1.
Mix in Thomas Bertrand-Hudon and A.J. Ouellette as a two-headed monster in the backfield, and it’s easy to see why the Riders should be one of the best offences in the CFL.
They should keep rolling against the Ti-Cats, who allowed 38 points to Calgary last week.
