Online Wagering – Only Two Games on the Week 8 CFL Schedule

December 8th, 2021 Online Wagering

The CFL is definitely different than the NFL and online wagering gamblers can see that the difference applies even to their screwed up schedule. There are only two games for gamblers to choose from when making an online wager in Week 8.

Online wagering on Week 8 in the CFL has one game on Thursday and one game on Friday. The league does the same thing next week with two games in Week 9.  When you only have eight teams in the league it seems kind of pointless to give teams a bye week but that is exactly what the CFL does, so four teams get a rest in Week 8 and the other four get Week 9 off.  Trying to copy the NFL really doesn’t work with only eight teams.

Winnipeg at Montreal:  The Alouettes stubbed their two last week and laid an egg against Toronto.  Montreal was rolling along having won five straight but it ended last week against the Argonauts as they were blown out 37-22.  Montreal will try and get back on track against a weak Winnipeg club.  Online wagering odds at the SBG sportsbook list Montreal as an 11-point favorite on Thursday with a total of 56.  The Blue Bombers are in last place in the CFL East Division and they are not getting much action from gamblers making an online wager.  They are going with Steven Jyles at quarterback in place of Buck Pierce. They are also looking for a new kicker.  That doesn’t sound too promising going in to face an angry Montreal team.

Hamilton at Toronto: What does a team have to do to get respect?  The Argos routed the defending champion Alouettes last week and yet they are just 2.5 point home favorites against Hamilton on Friday. The total on the game in online wagering is 54. Cleo Lemon was not very good in the NFL but with Toronto he has done the job. He is getting a lot of help from league rushing leader Cory Boyd who has 711 yards this season.  The Argos still have the leagues worst passing attack but Clemon is not making mistakes and that is why Toronto is winning and it is why they are worth an online wager in this contest vs. Hamilton.
