CFL Betting Notes - Finals

The CFL 2014 Grey Cup Playoffs got underway this past Sunday with the Division Semifinals. In the East, Montreal made a bold statement that it is ready for a title run with a 50-17 pasting of British Columbia as a three-point home favorite. The Alouettes took the total OVER on their own with a closing line of 44 ½.
It was not nearly as easy, but Edmonton also covered as a 7 ½-point home favorite in the West with an 18-10 victory against Saskatchewan in Sunday’s other division semifinal game. The total in that one stayed well UNDER the 45-point closing line.
Montreal Alouettes (10-9 SU, 10-8-1 ATS) at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (9-9 SU, 9-9 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -3½
Total: 47
Game Overview
It was not all that long ago when Montreal had some major struggles finding the end zone, but that was hardly the case against the Lions its last time out. All told, six different players scored a touchdown and while quarterback Jonathan Crompton only threw for 155 yards he made everyone count by completing 66.7 percent of his 21 throws for two scores.
Montreal’s dramatic turnaround from a disastrous 1-5 start both straight-up and against the spread has resulted in a 7-1 SU record in its last eight contests with a profitable 6-1-1 record ATS. The total stayed UNDER in six of its previous seven games prior to going OVER against BC.
Hamilton is another team that overcame a slow start to make its way to a second-straight appearance in the East Division title game. The Tiger-Cats posted just one SU victory in their first seven games, but they started to turn things around in Week 12 following a 38-31 loss to Montreal as 1½-point road favorites. From that point on, Hamilton won seven of its next nine games while going 6-3 ATS. The total stayed UNDER in seven of those games.
The biggest win of this run came in the final week of the regular season when it beat Montreal 29-15 as a four-point home favorite. Zach Collaros was dead-on in that game; completing 20-of-28 attempts for 207 yards and a score. Nic Grigsby had a good day running the ball with 93 yards and a score on 19 carries.
Betting Trends
The Alouettes are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 East Division games and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to the division finals. The total has stayed UNDER in 14 of their last 17 road games.
The Tiger-Cats are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a SU win, but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven playoff games. The total has stayed UNDER in 17 of their last 21 games played at home.
Head-to-head in this matchup, the home team has won the last nine meetings SU and Montreal has a 5-1 edge ATS in the last six meetings. The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five games.
Edmonton Eskimos (13-6 SU, 13-6ATS) at Calgary Stampeders (15-3 SU, 12-5-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -6½
Total: 48½
Game Overview
Edmonton has had its injury issues at quarterback down the stretch, but the return of Mike Reilly to the lineup against the Roughriders had to be a welcomed sight. He only put the ball up eight times in this past Sunday’s win, but he completed six of the passes for 53 yards. Matt Nichols started the game, but he was pulled in favor of Reilly.
The Eskimos bring some solid momentum into this game with a 4-1 record both SU and ATS in their last five contests and the total has stayed UNDER in all five games. Edmonton’s defense has really risen to the occasion during this run by holding teams to an average of just 13 points a game.
There is no doubt that Calgary did indeed stampede its way through the 2014 CFL regular season and if you throw out a meaningless loss in Week 19 once the West Division title was already in hand, it only suffered two SU losses in its first 16 games.
The Stampeders led the CFL in scoring with an average of 28.4 points a game and it rolled-up a combined 95 points in three previous victories against Edmonton this season. They covered the spread each time and the total stayed UNDER in the first two meetings this season. The potent combination of Bo Levi Mitchell throwing the ball and Jon Cornish running it has led the way all season long.
Betting Trends
The Eskimos are 5-1 ATS in their last six West Division games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games in the postseason. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games on the road.
The Stampeders are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and they are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS win. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six playoff games at home.
Calgary swept the three-game season series SU to extend its winning streak against its division rival to 10 games. It is also 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in four of those games.
