These two sides have historically played to lower-scoring totals, with the Under cashing in both head-to-head meetings last season. For the Roughriders, QB Trevor Harris has looked out of sorts for a few weeks now, and it won’t help that wide receivers Kian Schaffer-Baker and Samuel Emilus remain on the IL. At 56.5, this total is set too high, as the highest total between these two teams dating back to 2023 has been 52.5. Playable down to 54.5.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers hung 44 points on Montreal last week, and a Labour Day weekend matchup against the Saskatchewan Roughriders offers another chance for them to stay hot on offence. Bombers QB Zach Collaros is coming off his best outing of the season, throwing for 324 yards and two passing touchdowns in last week’s home win over the Alouettes. He’ll have an opportunity to exploit a Riders defence that is allowing a 67.2% completion rate this season, with only winless Ottawa ranking worse. Meanwhile, Winnipeg has also leaned back into using Brady Oliveira to his full potential, as the former MOP is averaging 106.6 rushing yards per game over his last five contests. Saskatchewan has lost two of its last three and is running into a Bombers offence that’s starting to click on all cylinders. Taking Winnipeg on the spread is playable to +3.5.

The Tiger-Cats are still without Bo Levi Mitchell and have scored the second-fewest points in the league in 2026. These teams combined for 59 points in Week 12, but that remains the only Argos game to hit the Over in their last eight.

Their previous meeting played to a comfortable Under.

While Kelly and a pass-heavy Argos offense may carry most of the weight here, it's hard to envision a struggling Tiger-Cats offense without their star QB putting up numbers.

Kelly enters this matchup red-hot, with three passing touchdowns and a QB rating of 110 or higher in each of his last two games.

The Toronto Argonauts' second-ranked passing offense torched the Hamilton Tiger-Cats just two weeks ago, with Kelly throwing three touchdowns in a 39-20 drubbing.

The Tiger-Cats have lost five of their last six since beginning the season 3-2, with four of those losses being by five or more.

What's The Deal With This CFL Computer Picks Table?

The above table shows the result of the last 100 CFL computer picks. This table features important information you can use to shape your Canadian Football League bets, like the public consensus, ATS and totals. Before you throw up your hands in frustration like a center watching his quarterback get sacked 13 seconds after the snap, we'll explain the ins and outs of betting on the CFL.

ROI

This amount is the profit (or loss) based on a bettor placing $100 on each of the last 100 CFL picks made by the computer on both the opening and closing lines. "To Win" represents the win based on moneyline bets. "ATS" signifies the win based on wagers against the spread. "Total O/U" shows the amount bettors would win on Over or Under wagers.

Record Keeping

Wins are listed first, losses second, and pushes or ties are third. Since there are no ties in CFL moneyline betting, if there is a push listed, that would mean the computer predicted a tie and wouldn't have placed a wager on that game.

At Odds Shark, we want you to have everything you need to make smart CFL wagers, which is why you'll also see the predicted score. The predicted score can give you a hint about which way to bet. For instance, if Hamilton is playing Ottawa and the predicted score is 31.4-18.4 for the Tiger-Cats, you could make a simple moneyline bet. For moneyline bets you would only need to bet on one team to triumph over the other. In this case if you picked Hamilton and they won, you'd win your moneyline bet. On the other hand, if the Redblacks won, you'd lose your bet.

Looking For Expert Picks On The CFL Tonight?

Our supercomputer generates expert picks that can help you cover the spread for every game. Take a gander at our computer predictions and take advantage of our free picks before you place any money on the CFL wagerline.

Because we're usually biased in our opinions, our judgment can become cloudy when it comes to betting on the CFL. The good news is, our supercomputer couldn't give a flying Nanaimo bar if you have a thing for that magical Henry Burris smile. Our computer only cares about data. Plus, Burris is retired, so making a bet on him would be a complete waste of money.

Anyway, our computer knows who's retired, who's starting, which teams are on pace to win their matchups, and which teams could get eradicated by a single point (aka rouge). Instead of relying on analysts and your friend who thinks he knows everything about the Stamps because he went to one game, use our supercomputer to shape your CFL bets.

Nowadays, more and more bettors like yourself are relying on the Odds Shark computers to come up with impartial stats-focused CFL predictions. When the stats are precise, the handicapping measurements and algorithms are solid, then you don't have to worry about our computer making improper predictions. Our computer is reliable like Milt Stegall in his 14 years with Winnipeg.
