Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Saskatchewan Roughriders (Sunday, 7 p.m. ET)
Choose: Blue Bombers +4.5
Lean: Over 51.5
Final week the Blue Bombers acquired again on the profitable monitor in opposition to the Alouettes, and the Riders stubbed their toe in opposition to Calgary. Each video games do not have an effect on how this sport must be seen. The sport options two of the perfect groups within the West Division and shall be performed tightly. Winnipeg’s defensive position does an awesome job of affecting passing lanes and flattening passes on the line of scrimmage. That is extra of a discipline goal-type sport than something.
Toronto Argonauts at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (Monday, 2:30 p.m. ET)
Choose: Tiger-Cats -4.5
Lean: Over 57.5
These two nice rivals performed virtually two months in the past, on July 4, in a sport by which the Ticats gained by practically two touchdowns. It was a somewhat dangerous day defensively for the Argos, giving up over 50 factors. Now, they’ve gotten a bit bit higher defensively, however the offensive aspect of the ball has been a bit up-and-down. That inconsistent nature is hard for me to belief taking part in a rival on the highway in entrance of a raucous Labor Day crowd.
Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders (Monday, 6 p.m. ET)
Choose: Stampeders -7.5
Lean: Over 52.5
The Stampeders’ beatdown of the Riders final weekend was spectacular. What actually stood out was a protection that persistently flew across the soccer and made key stops early. Edmonton has discovered some offense as of late, profitable three straight video games. However I nonetheless cannot belief the Elks protection in opposition to a Calgary squad that’s firing on all cylinders at this juncture of the season.
