After dropping an 18-13 decision on the road as six-point favorites in Week 4, the Tiger-Cats ended up on the wrong end of a 31-20 loss as 10-point favorites at home this past week. I see this slide slipping to three games on Saturday with Ottawa winning this game SU on the road.

Look for Winnipeg to close this series out with another win SU, but I am taking Toronto ATS with the 10.5 points.

Even though the offense could get a boost if Johnny Manziel starts at quarterback after coming to the team in Sunday’s trade with Hamilton, I am taking Edmonton both SU and ATS as long as the opening spread is less than 10 points.

Calgary have already covered a 7.5-point spread at home in double-digit wins against Hamilton and Ottawa, and I am betting that Calgary easily wins this game by a very comfortable margin this Saturday night.

They are 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS in defense of last year’s Grey Cup title. With James Franklin taking over at quarterback for an injured Ricky Ray, I do not see Toronto bouncing back this week to cover at home.

With the total going under in the last few games between these two teams I am going to again bet on this game staying under the posted total line.

I see Masoli as being the difference this time around with solid production that leads to enough points to cover the spread.

I do think that BC will have a bit more luck scoring points this Saturday night on its home field to help take the backend of this home-and-home OVER again.

I think Edmonton wins and covers this time around, but I am going with the OVER on the total line as my top play.

Trevor Harris struggled in his first start against the Stampeders, but last week he threw for 342 yards and three scores against the Alouettes. However, I am going with Calgary again this Thursday night both SU and ATS.

I am going with Ottawa covering on the road as my “best bet” pick.

The playing status of Zach Collaros remains doubtful as he recovers from a concussion. This combined with how efficiently Hamilton’s offense has been able to move the ball has me leaning heavily towards the road team both SU and ATS on Thursday night.

I still think that Mike Reilly and Co. find a way to win this game as the CFL's top passer in total yards (694), but I am taking the Lions and the points in this game.

I think both team's offense has success this Friday night in another game that is going OVER the total.

Bo Levi Mitchell threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns in that game. I not sure that Calgary can cover the spread against the RedBlacks this week, but I like this game going OVER the total line.

Calgary should be looking to make a statement coming off last season’s stunning loss to the point where I am taking the Stamps both SU and ATS.

There were eight different players with a reception in that game. Reilly also used his legs to gain 43 yards rushing on 11 attempts. This is another case where I am going with a team from the West over the East both SU and ATS.

I am going with the Blue Bombers in this one as clearly the better team even with issues at quarterback.

I am going against the home team on Thursday night in light of the way that Saskatchewan played against another team from the East. This is a perfect opportunity to exploit the gap in talent that does exist between the two divisions.

The Lions will have their hands full against the other four teams in the West, but I like their chances to cover the 6.5 points in Week 1 against Montreal.
