After that, the Toronto Argonauts are basically in must-win mode against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the latest CFL Week 13 predictions for matchups beginning Sunday, Aug. 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CFL Week 13 predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best bet: Blue Bombers +5.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you thought the Blue Bombers were going to fade away this season, you thought wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winnipeg is rounding into form at the perfect time, going 3-1 in its last four games with a narrow one-point loss to the Calgary Stampeders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The offence has been extremely consistent during this stretch, scoring 26-plus points in every game. Zach Collaros is back in form after missing time, putting together a 78.4% completion rate in the Bombers&#8217; last two games (both wins).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saskatchewan is a league-best 8-2, but Winnipeg has been to four straight Grey Cups for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These teams have yet to meet this year, and will play three times down the stretch, which is another interesting wrinkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bombers went 3-1 against the Riders last year. They won the final three and the most important one, blowing out Saskatchewan, 38-22, in the West Division final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Winnipeg is 4-1 in its last five games against Saskatchewan with a +58 point differential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:117342\">Embed: #117342<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/american_football\/cfl?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_cfl\">Full CFL betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CFL best bets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Tiger-Cats -5.5<\/strong> (-110):<\/strong> This has always felt like a lost season for Toronto, which has been without starting quarterback Chad Kelly for the entire year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Boatmen are 3-8 in his absence, though most of their issues have been defensively. At this point, they basically need to win out to make the postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamilton, leading the East Division at 6-4, should relish this opportunity to put Toronto&#8217;s season to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tiger-Cats are coming off consecutive losses, but have had a bye week to regroup. Before that, they had won six straight games, including a 51-38 demolition of the Argonauts at BMO Field on July 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bo-Levi Mitchell offence tops the CFL in scoring (30.0 PPG) and the East in total offence (373.7 yards\/game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toronto has given up a whopping 34.6 PPG since its loss to Hamilton, and 30-plus points in its last three games against the Ti-Cats (all losses). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>CFL Week 12 predictions as of 3:08 p.m. on 08\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trio of Labour Day Classic games headline the biggest weekend of the CFL&#8217;s regular season.
