After eight weeks of the 2022 CFL season, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers remain the only unbeaten team in the league. They trailed Calgary in the fourth quarter last week, but QB Zach Collaros threw for 270 yards and four touchdowns and ultimately led the Blue Bombers to their eighth win of the season.
Winnipeg (8-0) will be back at it in Week 9. The Blue Bombers actually kick the week off with a game at Montreal on Thursday night. Leading the East Division is Toronto which is 3-3 after last week’s loss to Ottawa.
The Argos will also be in action in Week 9 as they host Hamilton. Here are the 2022 CFL Week 9 odds and predictions.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs. Montreal Alouettes
Spread: WPG -5.5 / Total: 47 Points
There’s a reason why Winnipeg is 8-0. They are the best team in the CFL. The Alouettes have what is likely the worst defense in the league. Montreal allows opponents 27.3 points per game. Over their last four games – three of which were losses – the Alouettes allowed an average of 32.5 points per game.
Winnipeg is the perfect blend of offense (26.9 ppg) and defense (17.7 ppg). The Blue Bombers are also 5-0 SU in their last five road games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall. In their last six road games, the Blue Bombers are 5-1 ATS.
Montreal can score (27.3 ppg), but they won’t against this Winnipeg defense. Plus, the Alouettes are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Back the better team to cover here.
PICK: WINNIPEG -5.5
Calgary Stampeders vs. Ottawa Redblacks
Spread: CAL -5.5 / Total: 50 Points
Calgary came close to pulling the upset last week, but ultimately lost to Winnipeg. The Stampeders have the CFL’s second-best offense scoring 31.5 points per game. Their opponent, Ottawa, allows over 25 points per game.
The Redblacks (1-6) did pick up their first win of the 2022 season last week. Ottawa beat Toronto 23-13. The Redblacks will have some momentum going into the game especially after WR Jaelon Acklin’s seven- reception-144-yard-1 TD performance last week.
Still, it won’t be enough. Calgary is 10-4 SU in its last 14 games. The Stampeders are 6-2 SU and ATS in their last eight road games. The Redblacks are only 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games and 1-5 ATS in their last six at home. Calgary gets back on track and covers.
PICK: CALGARY -5.5
Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Toronto Argonauts
Spread: TOR -2 / Total: 45 Points
Toronto was upset by Ottawa last week and will be looking to avenge that loss this week. The Argonauts (3-3) have the worst offense in the East averaging just 19.8 points per game. They managed just 13 last week, but had scored 30-plus in the two games prior.
Hamilton gives up 25 points per game and they were outscored 11-0 in the fourth quarter last week despite beating Montreal 24-17.
Neither team can be trusted to cover as Hamilton is 2-6 ATS in its last six games and Toronto is 4-8 ATS in its last 12. There is more value on the total. Both teams are not offensive juggernauts; however, both defenses can be stretched. Each defense surrenders over 25 points per game.
In the last 12 games between these two teams, the Over has hit nine times. Plus, in the last 17 meeting played in Toronto, the Over has hit 12 times.
PICK: OVER 45
Edmonton Elks vs. BC Lions
Spread: BC -10.5 / Total: 51.5 Points
The Elks are the biggest underdog of the week. They should be as they faced BC way back in Week 1 and got lambasted 59-15. The Lions have the top-scoring offense in the CFL averaging 34.7 points per game. QB Nathan Rourke threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s BC win over Saskatchewan.
BC is 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in its last seven games. Edmonton has only covered three times in its last 17 games. It’s a big spread, but BC is the best team in the CFL aside from Winnipeg.
PICK: BC LIONS -10.5
