We’re officially past the halfway point of the CFL’s 21-week season as Week 11 action rolls in this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 11’s opener between the Ottawa Redblacks and Winnipeg Blue Bombers should be loaded with offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the latest CFL Week 11 predictions for the games beginning Thursday, Aug. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best bet: Alouettes\/Lions under 51 points (-110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Alouettes couldn’t defeat Nathan Rourke and the Lions last month, but they did slow down the Canadian-born quarterback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rourke threw for 352 yards but on just 22-of-36 passing. He had one touchdown and one interception in a 21-20 win for BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ohio University grad has been a bit erratic since returning from injury, with four INTs in five games during that span.

But Montreal is still missing its starting quarterback, Davis Alexander, and the offence has often looked misguided without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In their past five games without Alexander, the Als have averaged just 17.6 PPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCFL Week 11 predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
