By David Schwab
VegasInsider.com
The underdogs ruled the day in Week 1 of the new CFL season with a straight-up record of 3-1 and a perfect 4-0 run against the spread. Ottawa started things off with a stunning 20-16 victory over Montreal last Thursday as a 9 ½-point road favorite after winning just two games all last year.
In Friday night’s rematch of last season’s Grey Cup, Hamilton once again fell to Calgary in a tight 24-23 loss, but the Tiger-Cats easily covered as six-point road underdogs. Last Saturday’s action started with Toronto upsetting Edmonton 26-11 as a nine-point home favorite. Later that night, Winnipeg completed the ATS sweep with a 30-26 win against Saskatchewan as a seven point underdog on the road.

Thursday, July 2
Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS) vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -2
Total: 50½
Game Overview
The Tiger-Cats came painfully close to upsetting Calgary on the road and they have to be encouraged by the play of quarterback Zach Collaros, who completed 27-of-38 passes for 281 yards. Andy Fantuz was on the receiving end of nine of those throws for a team-high 83 yards. Hamilton’s running game accounted for just 37 total yards in last week’s loss.
Winnipeg will be looking to build off of last week’s win after it was only able to post two SU wins in its last 12 games in 2014. Drew Willy had a big day throwing the ball with 325 yards and three scores while completing 22 of his 25 attempts. Clarence Denmark and Nick Moore combined for 11 receptions for 188 yards and a score to help pace the win.
Betting Trends
Hamilton is 6-1 SU in the last seven meetings and it has covered in four of the last five meetings ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in six of the last eight games.
Friday, July 3
Calgary Stampeders (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) vs. Montreal Alouettes (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary OFF
Total: OFF
Game Overview
The defending Grey Cup Champions picked-up where they left off last season behind quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, but while he did throw for 263 yards and a score, he was also picked-off three times. Long-time veteran running back Jon Cornish added another 70 on the ground on 13 carries. Jeff Fulling had the hot hand catching the ball with nine receptions for 148 total yards.
Montreal was down to its third-string quarterback in its season-opening loss to Ottawa. Johnathan Crompton got the start but left with a shoulder injury. Dan LeFevour lasted just one play before he was lost for the season with an injured shoulder. With Crompton still listed as 'questionable' for this game, look for rookie Brandon Bridge to possibly get the start. He went 5-for-10 for 62 yards in relief last week and a costly fourth-quarter interception set-up the RedBlacks’ eventual winning scoring drive.
Betting Trends
Calgary is 6-2 SU in the last eight meetings with a profitable 7-1 mark ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last six games. The Stampeders are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 road games.
Saturday, July 4
British Columbia Lions (0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS) vs. Ottawa RedBlacks (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -3
Total: 46
Game Overview
The Lions enjoyed a bit of extra time off with a Week 1 bye, but they have to be chomping at the bit to get the new season started with Jeff Telford at the helm as the team’s new head coach after a successful college stint at California in the Pac-12. Travis Lulay is expected to get the start at quarterback in what should be a new-look offense for BC, given Telford’s up-tempo style that relies heavily on moving the ball down field through the air.
Ottawa will try and match last season’s SU win total with a victory on Saturday afternoon, but veteran quarterback Henry Burris is going to have to do a much better job protecting the ball after getting picked-off three times in last week’s win at Montreal. The good news for the RedBlacks’ offense is a ground game that ran for 114 yards in Week 1 with Chevon Walker leading the way with 52 yards on 16 carries.
Betting Trends
BC won both meetings last season SU including a 7-5 grinder on the road as a nine-point favorite. The Lions easily covered in the next game as 10-point home favorites in a 41-3 blowout. This game ended as a PUSH on the total line after the first meeting stayed well UNDER the closing 47½-point line.
Sunday, July 5
Toronto Argonauts (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Saskatchewan -3
Total: 51
Game Overview
Toronto stunned Edmonton last week behind a stellar performance by back-up quarterback Trevor Harris, who was starting for the injured Ricky Ray. He ended the day with 347 yards passing and three touchdown throws while completing a ridiculous 88.8 percent of his 27 attempts. He also did a good job of spreading the ball around with eight different players posting at least one catch.
It looks like it will be another rough road for Saskatchewan in regards to its quarterback situation after Darian Durant was lost for the season with a torn Achilles. Veteran Kevin Glenn was added to the roster this past offseason and he is set to take over the reins as the team’s new starter. The Roughriders’ rushing attack got a solid effort from Anthony Allen in last week’s loss with 102 yards on 11 carries.
Betting Trends
The road team in this matchup has won four of the last six meetings both SU and ATS and the total has gone OVER in four of the last five games. Toronto has the slight 3-2 edge both SU and ATS in the last five meetings.
Game of the day: Tiger-Cats at Blue Bombers
By Covers.com
Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (+1.5, 51)
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers look to build off an impressive season-opening victory when they host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday. The Blue Bombers exorcised some past demons at Mosaic Stadium by beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 30-26 for their first win in Regina since 2004.
Winnipeg sets its sights on ending another skid after dropping three straight games to Hamilton at Investors Group Field and hopes to improve to 2-0 for the second straight year. The Tiger-Cats were left to lick their wounds after a 24-23 setback to the Calgary Stampeders in Week 1. Hamilton led for most of the rematch of the 2014 Grey Cup final before losing on a last-second field goal and looks to bounce back by beating the Blue Bombers for the fourth straight time in Winnipeg. The Tiger-Cats have outscored the Blue Bombers 90-36 in the last three matchups in Winnipeg and hope to continue their recent dominance over the Blue and Gold and avoid an 0-2 start for the sixth consecutive year.
LINE HISTORY: The initial line opened with the Bombers at +2 before being bet down to +1.5. The total opened at 50.5 and has shifted to 51.
INJURY REPORT: Ti-Cats - WR Luke Tasker (Ques-Lower Body), RB C.J. Gable (Out-Hand) Blue Bombers - DB Maurice Leggett (Ques-Upper Body), DL Lashawn Fraser (Ques-Toe), SB Rory Kohlery (Ques-Lower Body)
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "When the Tiger Cats visit Winnipeg on Thursday, all eyes will be on Hamilton kick returner Brandon Banks. The speedster ran back a punt for a TD against Calgary in Week 1, and he had a potential game winning TD called off in the Grey Cup last November. Banks is expected to have a big year returning kicks with the CFL's new rules prohibiting the five interior linemen on the kicking team from leaving the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked." - Covers Expert Will Rogers
WHAT ODDSMAKERS SAY: "Seems the betting public believe in Winnipeg's opening game upset of the Roughriders as we've seen the line drop from opener of Hamilton -3 to its current price of Hamilton spotting 1.5. Total opened at 51 and has remained steady at that number. The Tiger-Cats could be stinging after a difficult loss in Calgary but greater concern could be the Tabbies' offence failing to score a touchdown in the 24-23 loss. The Bombers played well in Saskatchewan with QB Drew Willy and RB Paris Cotton leading the way. Winnipeg was predicted to finish last in the West while Hamilton was favored to win the East. It's only one game but it's a reminder that games are never won on paper." - CFL Oddsmaker Randall "The Handle"
ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (0-1 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U): Zach Collaros completed his first 10 passes before finishing 27-of-38 for 281 yards, but threw a costly interception that was returned for a touchdown. "Obviously the interception sticks out," Collaros told reporters. "Then you think about what else you could have done to help others during the week with their preparation." Johnny Sears Jr. recorded two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, in his Hamilton debut after coming over from Winnipeg in the offseason and Brandon Banks returned a punt for a touchdown.
ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 O/U): Drew Willy turned in a near-flawless performance as he went 22-of-25 for 325 yards and three touchdowns against the Roughriders. "We have to do it every single week," Willy told reporters. "We have a short week and we need to be ready to go against a good Hamilton team." Paris Cotton rushed for 108 yards to go along with 59 receiving yards and a score while Cameron Marshall added two touchdowns - one rushing and one receiving.
TRENDS:
*Tiger-Cats are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games.
*Blue Bombers are 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a S.U. win.
*Under is 6-1 in Tiger-Cats last 7 vs. a team with a winning record.
*Over is 6-2 in Blue Bombers last 8 games in Week 2.
CONSENSUS: 52.8 percent of Covers users are backing Hamilton with 53.6 percent on the under.
Game of the day: Stampeders at Alouettes
By Covers.com
Calgary Stampeders at Montreal Alouettes (+10 47.5)
The Calgary Stampeders hope to continue defense of their CFL title with another victory when they hit the road to face the Montreal Alouettes on Friday. The Stampeders opened up the season with a thrilling 24-23 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as Rene Paredes kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired.
Calgary boasted a league-best 8-1 record on the road last season, with its only loss coming to the Alouettes, as it vies to become the first team since Montreal in 2010 to successfully defend its CFL crown. The Alouettes look to rebound from a disappointing 20-16 home loss to the Ottawa Redblacks in Week 1. To make matters worse for Montreal, starting quarterback Jonathan Crompton and backup Dan LeFevour each sustained shoulder injuries and are out for the foreseeable future. Canadian rookie quarterback Brandon Bridge, who threw for 62 yards and an interception in his CFL debut, will likely make his first career start as the Alouettes hope to avoid going 0-2 for the first time since 2007.
LINE HISTORY: Lines opened at Montreal +10.5 with a total of 47.5. The spread has since dropped to +10.
INJURY REPORT: Stampeders - DL Brandon Boudreaux (Ques-Knee), DL Corey Mace (Ques-Back), LB Karl McCartney (Ques-Knee) Alouettes - QB Jonathan Crompton (Ques-Shoulder), DL Michael Sam (Ques-Suspension), DB Chris Ackie (Ques-Hamstring)
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "The defending Grey Cup Champs needed to rally at home in week 1, kicking the game winning field goal as time expired in a come from behind win over Hamilton. The Montreal Alouettes not only lost their home opener to Ottawa, their top two quarterback both suffered injuries that will keep them out of Friday's game against Calgary. Rookie Rakeem Cato impressed in pre-season, and he could see action against Calgary." - Covers Expert Will Rogers
WHAT ODDSMAKERS SAY: "Despite Montreal not committing to a starting quarterback with just over 24 hours until kickoff, the Stampeders are listed as 10-point favorites over the Alouettes. The number was posted this morning and the books are reporting two-way action on the game. Montreal is forced to go with one of two rookies as both Brandon Bridge or Rakeem Cato will be forced into action after Montreal's first and second stringers went down last week. The Stamps have had their issues when visiting Quebec, including last year's 31-15 thumping in Montreal. While most expect Calgary to avenge its visit last year, the bigger question is if they can do it by double-digits." - CFL Oddsmaker Randall 'The Handle'
ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U): Defensive end Michael Sam returned to the team after leaving training camp June 12 due to personal issues, but won't likely be ready for game action for another three weeks. "I was always coming back," Sam told reporters "I had to deal with personal matters when I was home so that's all taken care of." Crompton was placed on the six-game injured list with a bruised shoulder and LeFevour will likely miss the rest of the season with a dislocated shoulder, leaving Bridge to battle it out with fellow rookie Rakeem Cato for the starting job.
ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U): Bo Levi Mitchell overcame three interceptions to finish with 263 passing yards and a touchdown and his main target Jeff Fuller ended up with nine catches for 148 yards. "Bo just put the ball up there and I did my best to come down with it," Fuller told reporters. "One on one, I'll take myself over a lot of DBs and them not being able to touch me gives me more of an advantage." Keon Raymond returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown to become Calgary's all-time leader in defensive scores with seven.
TRENDS:
*Stampeders are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
*Alouettes are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.
*Under is 8-3 in Stampeders last 11 games following a ATS loss.
*Under is 18-7 in Alouettes last 25 games overall.
Game of the Day: Lions at RedBlacks
By Covers.com
B.C. Lions at Ottawa RedBlacks (+3, 46.5)
The Ottawa Redblacks look to win consecutive games for the first time in franchise history when they host the BC Lions on Saturday. The Redblacks opened the season with an impressive 20-16 road victory over the Alouettes and hope to use that momentum to beat the Lions for the first time after dropping both meetings last year.
"It's a new game, a new week and we have to be at our best on Saturday," Ottawa coach Rick Campbell told reporters. "This is a big challenge for us and we need to focus 100 percent." BC is eager to get back on the field for its season opener and erase the memories of last year's East semifinal after giving up 50 points in the loss to the Alouettes. New head coach Jeff Tedford has been tasked with leading the Lions back among the CFL elite after seeing their record get progressively worse in the last two years. Quarterback Travis Lulay is ready to go after missing most of the 2014 campaign with a shoulder injury and should benefit from the guidance of noted QB guru Tedford to give the offence, which finished fifth in the CFL with 330 yards per game, a much-needed boost.
LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the RedBlacks +3. The total opened at 46 and is up a half-point.
INJURY REPORT: Lions - DB Steven Clarke (Out, undisclosed), G Cody Husband (Out, undisclosed), C Matthew Norman (Out, undisclosed). RedBlacks - QB Brock Jensen (Questionable, undisclosed), WR Khalil Paden (Questionable, undisclosed), WR Marcus Henry (Questionable, undisclosed), DB Hugo Lopez (Questionable, undisclosed), DB Forrest Hightower( Qustionable, undisclosed), DL Andrew Marshall (Questionable, undisclosed).
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "The Ottawa Redblacks host the B.C. Lions in Week 2, coming off an upset win on the road over Montreal in their season opener. The Redblacks knocked out two Alouettes quarterbacks in that game, and the last thing the Lions need is for anything to happen to Travis Lulay. This will be the Lions first game of the season, and keeping Lulay healthy will be high on their priority list." Covers Expert Will Rogers.
ABOUT THE LIONS (2014: 9-9 SU 8-9-1 ATS, 5-12-1 O/U): Running back Andrew Harris, who led the team in rushing before suffering a season-ending ankle injury in late September, is healthy and eager to play his part in the new high-powered offence. "You can already get excited about the things we're going to do," Harris told reporters. "I can't wait to see how it's going to play out in game situations." BC signed former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie and hopes he can fill the void left by big-play slotback Ernest Jackson, who bolted for Ottawa in the offseason.
ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U): Henry Burris shook off three interceptions in the first half to finish 23-of-36 for 263 yards and a touchdown against the Alouettes. Jackson led all wide receivers with seven catches for 74 yards, including the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter of his Ottawa debut. Starting safety Jermaine Robinson injured his wrist in Week 1 and will be out for at least a week and will be replaced by Jacques Washington, while middle linebacker Travis Brown is listed as day-to-day after getting injured in Montreal.
TRENDS:
* Lions are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games in Week 2.
* RedBlacks are 0-4 ATS in their last four Saturday games.
* Under is 4-1-1 in RedBlacks last six games overall.
CONSENSUS: Fifty-seven percent of bettors are backing the visiting Lions.
Game of the day: Argonauts at Roughriders
By Covers.com
Toronto Argonauts at Saskatchewan Roughriders (-3.5, 51)
The Toronto Argonauts look to build off their excellent start when they travel to Regina to face the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday. The Argonauts opened the season with a spirited 26-11 win over the Edmonton Eskimos in Fort McMurray, Alberta and have the chance to go 2-0 for the first time since 1997.
Toronto dropped seven of its nine road games last season, but have beaten the Roughriders in two of the last three games at Mosaic Stadium. Saskatchewan is left to pick up the pieces after starting quarterback Darian Durant suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in the 30-26 setback to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Veteran signal-caller Kevin Glenn will take over the starting duties as the Roughriders hope to recover from their double-blow and avoid going 0-2 for the first time in four years. "Kevin has had success everywhere he's been," Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin told reporters. "So I fully expect him to continue doing the same thing here."
LINE HISTORY: The initial spread opened at SSK -3, but has shifted to -3.5. The total has stayed firm at 51.
INJURY REPORT: Argos - OL Brandon Braxton (Ques-Suspension) Riders - WR Chaz Schilens (Ques-Suspension), LB Shea Emry (Doub-Neck), WR Weston Dressler (Ques-Undisclosed)
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "The Argos will face the Riders in Regina in Week 2, and both teams will have their backup quarterbacks behind center. Trevor Harris threw for 347 yards and three TDs in Week 1, leading the Argos to a win over Edmonton. The Riders are going to need Kevin Glenn to be a lot better than he was in their opening loss to Winnipeg, but he's likely in a better position to succeed coming off a full week of practice with the starting offense." - Covers Expert Will Rogers
WHAT ODDSMAKERS SAY: "The public may be reluctant to back a favorite right now as early in this 2015 ?season, the underdogs have covered six of six games played. That includes Hamilton's win over Winnipeg on Thursday with the Bombers closing as a 1-pt choice after opening as a 3-pt dog. Five of the six played before Saturday's clash between the Lions and Redblacks has seen the dog win outright, Calgary slipping by Hamilton last week was the lone exception with the Stamps' narrow, last second win. The Roughriders will try to be the first fave to cover as they host the Argonauts. Saskatchewan opened as a 2.5-point pick with a total of 51 and there has been little change to either number with the books experiencing good two-way action." - CFL Oddsmaker Randall "The Handle"
ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U): Trevor Harris was named one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week after going 24-of-27 for 347 yards and three touchdowns in just his second career start. Defensive lineman Cleyon Laing escaped punishment after the league reviewed his low hit on Mike Reilly, which sidelined the Edmonton quarterback for 10-12 weeks, and concluded he was pushed into the QB by an offensive lineman. Brandon Whitaker rushed for 117 yards on 14 carries and added 57 yards and a touchdown through the air on his Toronto debut.
ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 O/U): Durant was 13-of-18 for 165 yards and two touchdowns before he was carted off late in the second quarter while Glenn went 13-of-18 for 120 yards and an interception. Anthony Allen rushed for a team-high 102 yards and fellow running back Jerome Messam added 75 yards and a touchdown to pace a potent ground attack. Defensive end John Chick continues to terrorize opposing quarterbacks as he recorded a sack in Week 1 after leading the CFL with 15 last season.
TRENDS:
*Argonauts are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win.
*Roughriders are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
*Under is 5-0 in Argonauts last 5 games overall.
*Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
CONSENSUS: 58.66 percent of action is behind the Riders with 50.8 percent on the under.
