CFL Picks and Parlays Today

CFL Parlay #1: Montreal and BC Cover

• Montreal to cover 5.5-point spread vs. Saskatchewan: This is a rematch of last season's Grey Cup, but the way the Roughriders (8-7) are playing, that may not be the case this season. They have lost their last three games, and their defense struggled in the last two, giving up 31 and 37 points, respectively. The Alouettes have the best record in the CFL and the highest-scoring offense. Montreal is a perfect 8-0 at home, and they will stay that way after a win tonight, also covering the spread.
• BC to cover 13.5-point spread vs. Ottawa: The Lions (9-6) have won three in a row and eight of their last nine games. On the other side of the coin, the Redblacks (0-15) are the only winless team in the CFL and have scored the fewest points and given up the most. While BC is giving up nearly two TDs, they will still win and cover at home against an Ottawa team they beat by 21 points on the road in Week 16 and that lost by 18 points in their last game.

The odds for this parlay are +264, so a $100 bet would pay $364, for a $264 profit.

Parlay: Montreal and BC to cover the spread – (+264, Sports Interaction)

CFL Parlay #2: A Couple of High-Scoring Games

• Edmonton vs. Hamilton Over 61.5 points: These teams met two weeks back at Edmonton, where the Elks (11-4) beat the Tiger Cats (5-11) 37-35 in overtime in a barnburner where the total went Over. The total has gone Over in three of the last four games for both teams, and there will be no lack of offensive fireworks tonight.
• Calgary vs. Winnipeg Over 60.5 points: While the total has gone Under for the Blue Bombers (7-8) in their last three games, the Over is still the pick. The total has gone Over for the Stampeders (8-8) in their last five games, and when these teams met in Winnipeg in Week 8, it went well over, with 82 points scored.

The odds for this parlay are +257, so a $100 bet would pay $357 total, with $257 in profit.
