CFL Week 10 Picks & Predictions
Blue Bombers vs Elks Picks & Odds
- Spread: Winnipeg Blue Bombers -12 (-110) | Edmonton Elks +12 (-110)
- Total: OVER 44.5 (-110) | UNDER 44.5 (-110)
- Moneyline: Winnipeg Blue Bombers -585 | Edmonton Elks +410
The Blue Bombers dominated last week, securing a 50-14 victory over the Lions at home. Quarterback Zach Collaros had an impressive performance, throwing for 369 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Elks are still in search of their first win this season, having suffered a 27-0 loss to the Lions recently.
The Blue Bombers are strong contenders for the Grey Cup, and they’re expected to handle the Elks with ease. Given their recent victory over Edmonton, it’s likely that the result will be the same this week.
Prediction: Blue Bombers 31, Elks 17
Best Bet: Blue Bombers -12 (-110)
Roughriders vs Alouettes Picks & Odds
- Spread: Saskatchewan Roughriders +6 (-110) | Montreal Alouettes -6 (-110)
- Total: OVER 44.5 (-110) | UNDER 44.5 (-110)
- Moneyline: Saskatchewan Roughriders +205 | Montreal Alouettes -245
The Roughriders are riding some momentum into their Week 10 matchup with the Alouettes, having secured a close victory over the RedBlacks with a last-minute field goal. On the other hand, the Alouettes are coming off a 27-14 win against the Tiger-Cats and are aiming to build on this recent success.
Although the Roughriders’ offense has faced challenges, especially without the injured Trevor Harris, the Alouettes have a strong defense. This could pose difficulties for the Roughriders, and the Alouettes are favored in this matchup.
Prediction: Alouettes 24, Roughriders 17
Best Bet: Under 44.5 Points (-110)
Stampeders vs Lions Picks & Odds
- Spread: Calgary Stampeders +6 (-110) | BC Lions -6 (-110)
- Total: OVER 45.5 (-110) | UNDER 45.5 (-110)
- Moneyline: Calgary Stampeders +215 | BC Lions -260
The Stampeders are riding high after a 20-7 victory last week, which handed the Argonauts their first loss of the season. The Lions, however, are looking to bounce back after a tough 50-14 loss to the Blue Bombers that ended their three-game winning streak.
While the Lions are the favorites due to their talent, the Stampeders have shown their strength, especially considering their recent performance. This game could be a closely contested battle, possibly going down to the wire.
Prediction: Lions 27, Stampeders 24
Best Bet: Stampeders +6 (-110)
RedBlacks vs Argonauts Picks & Odds
- Spread: Ottawa RedBlacks TBD (TBD) | Toronto Argonauts TBD (TBD)
- Total: OVER TBD (TBD) | UNDER TBD (TBD)
- Moneyline: Ottawa RedBlacks TBD | Toronto Argonauts TBD
Please note that at the time of writing, RedBlacks vs. Argonauts odds are unavailable across all sportsbooks.
The RedBlacks suffered a heartbreaking loss last week to the Roughriders, and the Argonauts are also dealing with the aftermath of their first loss this season against the Stampeders. Quarterback Chad Kelly, despite an ankle injury, is expected to be back for the Argonauts in Week 10.
The Argonauts are keen to show that their previous loss was a fluke, and as long as Kelly is on the field, they should secure a convincing victory over the RedBlacks.
Prediction: Argonauts 35, RedBlacks 23
