The Lions will try and bounce back from a Week 1 loss as a home favorite
with a big win on the road. A 16-point fourth quarter rally came up
three points short, so the game plan this week will point towards trying
to put up more than the five points BC scored in the first half against
Edmonton. One encouraging take away from that game was the Lions’
ability to move the ball on the ground. Jeremiah Johnson led the way
with 92 yards and the offense as a whole rushed for 130 yards on the
night.
Toronto only won five total games in 2016 following a 4-2 straight-up
start, so it is way too early to read all that much into its Week 1
upset. That being said, you still have to single out the play of veteran
quarterback Ricky Ray, who completed 32-of-41 passing attempts for 506
yards and one score. Three different players crossed the century mark in
total receiving yards led by DeVier Posey with seven catches for 147
yards and one touchdown.
Betting Trends
BC has gone 5-1 ATS in its last six road games against the Argonauts.
The total has stayed UNDER in 19 of the last 26 meetings overall
including 13 of the last 16 games played in Toronto.

Montreal Alouettes (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) vs. Edmonton Eskimos (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -9
Total: 51½
Game Overview
The Alouettes failed to make the playoffs last season behind an anemic
offense that averaged 21.3 points per game. However, they ranked second
in the CFL on the other side of the ball when it came to points allowed
(23.1 PPG). That defense held tight in Week 1 of this season by limiting
Saskatchewan to 401 yards of total offense and just one touchdown
through the air.
Edmonton’s win on the road as an underdog in Week 1 raised its record to
3-1 ATS in its last four road games getting points. It was also able to
cover in three of its last five home games in 2016 as part of a 5-2-1
record ATS in its last eight games that year. Mike Reilly led the CFL in
total passing yards last season and he got off to a fast start this
year by completing 71.4 percent of his 28 throws for 315 yards and two
scores.
Betting Trends
Montreal is 0-6 both SU and ATS in its last six games against the
Eskimos and the total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in eight of the
last 10 meetings between these two inter-division foes.

Dogs are now 10-2 ATS (against the spread) and the UNDER is 7-4-1
after Week 3. That's an 83 percent hit rate for underdogs after going a
perfect 4-0 last week and a 63.6 percent win rate for the UNDER this
season.
The UNDER numbers are consistent with the numbers going
back to 2006. Heading into the season the UNDER cashed at a 63 percent
rate through the first four weeks of the season.
Underdogs, on the other hand, are way above the norm. They typically cash at 60 percent in the early going.
This
is Week 4 if you're not familiar with the CFL, so keep that in mind as
you make your wagers. After the first four weeks things tend to get a
little dicier and already oddsmakers are adjusting.
The largest spread for this week is 3.5 points
and the other three games had a number of one point or less as of
Wednesday. Week 4 kicks of Wednesday night with the Ottawa RedBlacks at
the Toronto Argonauts.
