The CFL is approaching the midway point as the league rolls into its fifth weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest:<\/strong> The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have a shot to win back-to-back games for the first time this season against a hindered Toronto Argonauts squad. After that, the BC Lions look to lean on a returning quarterback in their matchup with the Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out this CFL Week 5 parlay, featuring a pick on the Ottawa Redblacks vs. Edmonton Elks game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CFL Week 5 parlay picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Tiger-Cats ML | Lions\/Alouettes over 49.5 points | Redblacks ML (+482)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiger-Cats moneyline (-136):<\/strong> I went with this as a solo pick in my Week 5 predictions at -106, but the line has moved. It still makes a good parlay piece, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, the Argonauts revealed that they will be without starting quarterback Chad Kelly until at least Week 7. Not something you want to hear as a struggling 1-3 squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially when backup QB Nick Arbuckle is tied for the league lead with six interceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His inability to take care of the football continuously puts the Argonauts’ defence in tough spots. They have allowed 112 points through four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bo Levi-Mitchell is the starter for Hamilton, and he’s by far the better QB in this matchup. He has completed 67.8% of his passes this season with four touchdowns and one turnover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tiger-Cats have had a tough schedule so far. They’ve only played teams with winning records and have the opportunity to get to .500 with a win over Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other parlay picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lions\/Alouettes over 49.5 points (-110):<\/strong><\/strong> The good news out of BC this week is that Nathan Rourke is taking first-team reps at practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian QB missed two games, and his availability will be extremely important to this wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s because Rourke is head and shoulders better than backup Jeremiah Masoli, who’s tied with Arbuckle with a league-high six interceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rourke has also thrown four touchdowns in his two starts (one interception) compared to Masoli, who has thrown just two TD passes this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the starter’s one full game at the helm for BC, the Lions scored a whopping 31 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side, the Alouettes look like they will be without their QB, Davis Alexander, but that feels less important against a shaky Lions defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BC has allowed 27-plus points in three of its four games and is tied with the Argonauts for the most points allowed this season (112).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redblacks moneyline <\/strong><\/strong>(-134): <\/strong>Another team with QB questions is the Redblacks, who were without Dru Brown for a few games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive is that Brown is taking snaps with the starters this week and looks ready to make his return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His presence makes all the difference for Ottawa. In his one start, he threw for 413 yards and two touchdowns (no turnovers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Redblacks came up short in that effort but were competitive against a Saskatchewan Roughriders team that leads the Western Conference at 4-0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that doesn’t show how important Brown is, take a look at his career stats vs. backup Dustin Crum’s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Brown: <\/strong>34 TDs, 12 INTs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Crum:<\/strong> 11 TDs, 15 INTs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The Elks are 0-3 and serve up a tasty matchup for the Redblacks if Brown stays on track to make his return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
