Calgary is on the longest winning streak in the league (7 in a row) and they have the best record in the league.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at BC Lions
BC are the favorites in this game by 4 points at Sportsbook with a total of 50.5.
Hamilton is coming off a loss and is tied with Toronto for second in the East Division while BC is in third in the West six points behind Saskatchewan and a win this weekend is important for them. Tiger-Cats’ QB Kevin Glenn ranks second in the league in passing yards and he ha to play well against a BC defense that only gave up 16 points last week. On top of that Hamilton only scored 6 points and they will need to break out of their offensive slump.
BC is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games and the total has gone Under in 4 of Hamilton's last 5 games
Sportsbook
Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts
Sportsbook has Toronto as the slight 1-point favorite in this game with a total of 52.5.
Toronto has lost three straight and is now tied with Hamilton for second place in the East. Their defense has really been struggling and last week they gave up 37 points. Luckily they will be facing a Blue Bombers’ offense that is also struggling and only scored two points in last week’s loss.
Edmonton Eskimos at Montreal Alouettes
Montreal are the big 12.5 point favorite in this game at Sportsbook with a total of 53.
Montreal won last week and is in first place in the East with a four-point lead over Hamilton and Toronto. Edmonton is in last place in the West and they have lost two games in a row. This is not a good match up for the Eskimos, who have scored the fewest points and given up the most points in the CFL this season. For Edmonton to have any chance to win this game they will have to play great defense and not allow QB Anthony Calvillo and RB Avon Cobourne to have big games.
Edmonton is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.
Montreal is 4-2 in their last 6 games when playing Edmonton.
