The Ottawa Redblacks and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will meet, in Canadian football betting action, for the second and last time this season. The Bombers held off Le Rouge et Noir d’Ottawa 33-30 on Friday, August 14th at TD Place Stadium thanks to a buzzer-beating field goal by placekicker Justin Medlock. Other weekend fixtures include the Hamilton Tigercats vs. the BC Lions, and the Montreal Alouettes vs. the Toronto Argonauts.
Ottawa Redblacks vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
- Date: Friday, 22nd September
- Time: 8:00 PM
- Venue: Investor’s Group Field
- Online sportsbook odds for fans who bet on football:
Ottawa Redblacks +7 (-120) 55½ (-110)
Winnipeg Blue Bombers -7 (EV) 55½ (-110)
Football games tend, between these two teams, to be very close, including their previous meeting which was, as mentioned above, decided by three points in the very last play. Not only did Winnipeg, on that occasion, steal the victory, but the Bombers also covered the spread. The total, additionally, went over, as it usually does when these two play each other. that was then, though, and this is now, and Winnipeg’s habit of outscoring teams by just three points this season, while it could earn them another win, would not be enough to cover the seven-point football betting spread this Friday. Now, the decibel level, that’s another story.

Hamilton Tigercats vs. B.C. Lions football
- Date: Friday, 22nd September
- Time: 11:00 PM
- Venue: BC Place
- Odds for fans who bet on football:
Hamilton Tigercats +12 (-110) 51½ (-110)
British Columbia Lions -12 (-110) 51½ (-110)
The Ti Cats are slightly not as bad and the Lions just a tad not as good as when they first met this season, a 41-26 straight-up and against-the-spread win forth Lions, in which the total went over for the fourth of the last five meetings between the teams. BC’s home advantage could translate into a SU win – they are 6-2 SU in their last eight games at home – it doesn’t necessarily guarantee ATS success; the Lions 2-3-1 ATS in their last six home games. The Tigercats have been, furthermore, outscored by just 0.7 points in their last three games (of which they won two), which could help them remain within the 12-point football betting spread. Also, they’re all gas and no brakes.
Montreal Alouettes vs. Toronto Argonauts
- Date: Saturday, 23rd September
- Time: 7:00 PM
- Venue: BMO Field
- Odds for fans who bet on football:
Montreal Alouettes +7 (-125) 47 (-110)
Toronto Argonauts -7 (+105) 47 (-110)
The Larks’ last success of the season hitherto came at the expense of the Argos, whom they beat, while covering, 21-9, on Friday, August 11th. Montreal is, ever since, 0-5 straight-up and against the spread. The local team has, moreover, won each of the last four encounters between these two. Given that Toronto has home advantage, and the spread is just seven points, the Larks, which have been outscored by 23 points in their last three games, have a very bleak outlook. Neither of these teams see often the over side of the football betting total, especially when they square off against one another.
