Analysis Calgary (6-0) continues to vanquish all opponents, and they're working on a new cover streak, too. After failing to cover a huge number at home last week, the Stampeders hit the road for Saskatchewan (3-3) and came away with a high-scoring 34-22 victory against the Roughriders. It was surprising since the Riders posted a season-high 22 points against the Stamps' D, ending a 5-0 'under' run for Calgary.
The Riders had their modest two-game cover streak come to an end, and the 'over' result was their first since allowing 40 in Week 2.
The 'other' team in the Province of Alberta is playing some pretty good football, too. Edmonton (4-2) has won in consecutive games for the first time this season, as the bye week seemed to do them some good. They hung a season-high 44 points on Montreal (1-5), as they also improved to 4-2 on over totals, too. It was a surprising offensive display considering the Esks had totaled 33 points in their two previous games in a home-and-home with Toronto (1-5).
Speaking of the Argos, they continue to share the basement with the Alouettes, and it has everything to do with their shoddy defense. Winnipeg (4-3) finished off the home-and-home sweep of the Argos, as Toronto allowed 39.0 points per game (PPG) in the two contests. As a result, the 'over' has hit in two straight for the Argos after the 'under' was 4-0 through their first four outings.
The Blue Bombers have hit the 30-point mark in five of their seven games, and the 'over' is 5-0 when they score 30 or more. Their improvement on defense has been overlooked lately, as they're allowing a respectable 18.3 PPG across the past four contests.
Ottawa (4-2) continues to be the class of the East, topping Hamilton (2-4) by a 21-15 score. They have still yet to cover in consecutive games, so remember that for Thursday's trip to Toronto. The 'under' has connected in four of the past five for the RedBlacks.
After opening the season 2-1 SU/ATS, the Ti-Cats are in a tailspin. They have posted a 0-3 SU/ATS mark across the past three weekends, and will look to get well in Montreal on Friday. The 'under' is 3-0-1 for the Hammer over the past four, and 4-1-1 through six games overall.
