Three games go down this weekend, starting with the Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday night.
The latest: Both teams are dealing with injuries at the quarterback position, so points could be scarce in this week’s rematch. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are the hottest team in the CFL and look for a sixth straight win when they play the Edmonton Elks.
Check out this CFL Week 9 parlay, featuring a pick on the Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Montreal Alouettes game.
CFL Week 9 parlay picks
Parlay: Argonauts/Blue Bombers under 50.5 points + Tiger-Cats ML+ Alouettes +2.5 (+458)
Argarlay: Argonauts/Blue Bombers under 50 points + Tiger-Cats ML+ Alouettes +2.5 (+455)
Argonauts/Blue Bombers under 50 points (-110): These two teams met in Week 8, and the Argonauts won 31-17.
And with Zach Collaros now ruled out for Week 9, I can’t see why the total for this game should be this high.
- Both sides will turn to their backup QBs, and that makes me believe at least one team will struggle to score.
- Toronto has been relying on Nick Arbuckle all season now and has gone under this total in three of its past four games.
- Winnipeg’s offence has struggled overall over the last three weeks, averaging 17.6 points and scoring 20 or fewer points in each game.
Everything here is trending towards a low-scoring contest.
Other parlay picks
Tiger-Cats ML (-200): What’s not to like with the Ti-Cats this week?
- They’re on a five-game winning streak.
- They have a Grade-A matchup with the 1-5 Edmonton Elks, who have a -55 point differential.
- Hamilton has an average win margin of 10.6 points during its streak.
To add, the Ti-Cats have the best offence in the CFL, scoring 32.1 points per game while Bo Levi Mitchell has 15 passing touchdowns to three interceptions.
The Elks’ defence allows 31.8 points per game and looks like it could get exposed again by the CFL’s hottest team.
Alouettes +2.5 (-106): A lot of this pick has to do with Montreal playing at home.
The Als are 2-1 at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium with the one loss coming by a single point to the BC Lions.
It’s also worth noting that starting quarterback Davis Alexander was out for that game. He will be out again on Saturday, so it’s not like much has changed. Alexander has played one game since Week 3.
Defence is the strong suit for the Alouettes, so a decent QB is all they need to be competitive. Montreal allows the second-fewest points per game (22.6).
Bethel McLeod Thompson started last week in a 23-21 road win over the now 5-3 Calgary Stampeders.
The Riders are 6-1 but recently lost 24-10 to the Stampeders and are coming off a less-than-impressive 21-18 win at home over the lowly Elks.
