Coming out of Labour Day weekend, the CFL is back to a four-game menu for Week 14.
This week’s CFL narrative: It’s been a while since the Montreal Alouettes stepped on the field, and they should be dangerous home underdogs with the slumping Hamilton Tiger-Cats in town. Elsewhere on Saturday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers square off for the second time in as many weeks.
Check out the latest CFL Week 14 predictions for matchups beginning Friday, Sept. 5.
CFL Week 14 predictions
Best bet: Alouettes +3.5 (-110)
It’s rare in professional football to gain the kind of rest advantage Montreal will have this weekend.
- The Alouettes last played on Friday, Aug. 21. By Saturday’s kickoff, the Als will have had 15 days of rest between matchups.
- The Tiger-Cats, meanwhile, played this past Monday. That means they only have four days of rest between matchups.
Montreal has been atrocious since quarterback Davis Alexander went down with a hamstring injury, and he’s not on track to return until later this month. But Hamilton isn’t playing very inspiring football right now, either.
The Ti-Cats are 0-3 straight up and ATS in their past three matchups. They dropped two of those games as favourites.
Montreal won’t be at its best until Alexander is back, but the Als are likely getting some reinforcements coming out of the bye.
A pair of impact receivers, Tyson Philpot and Austin Mack, were full participants in practice on Tuesday. Philpot broke out with 86.6 yards per game last year, while Mack had 1,154 yards in his last fully healthy season (2023).
Key stat: Since the 2023 season, Montreal is 6-1 SU (5-1-1 ATS) against Hamilton.
CFL best bets
Roughriders moneyline (-108): Saskatchewan just won a thriller at home, 34-30, over Winnipeg last week. It’s the Bombers’ turn to host, but I still want to roll with the Riders.
- The Grey Cup co-favourites rank first in total defence and second in scoring defence. Saskatchewan is also second in total offence and third in scoring offence.
- Winnipeg ranks outside the top three in all four yards/points categories.
- Saskatchewan also has a far greater point differential (+66 compared to +4).
The Riders did lose in Calgary two weeks ago, but they’re still 4-1 SU and ATS on the road this year.
Winnipeg is 3-5 in its past eight games, with three outright losses as the favourite in that span.
