CFL Football Preview Week 11The first weekend of September means one thing in the Canadian Football League: Classic Labour Day matchups. Therefore Week 11 of the CFL sched runs a little later than usual. The annual afternoon matchups between Edmonton and Calgary and Toronto and Hamilton kick off on Monday, while there are two other prime CFL games earlier in the week. Ottawa heads to Montreal for Friday night action, while Winnipeg takes on Saskatchewan on Sunday night. Here's a closer look at these four contests . . . Friday, September 2 - Ottawa at Montreal, 7:30 pm EDTThe Renegades invade Montreal on Friday night looking for a repeat of their last meeting with the Alouettes, when they dropped them 39-36 at home in Week 2. The Renegades pulled off the upset as a 9.5-point underdog in that game. Montreal still has the oddsmakers' favor this time around, as they opened as a 6.5-point favorite in Friday's game. Ottawa is coming off a disappointing 38-17 loss to Winnipeg last week in a game in which they were favored by 3 points. That loss snapped the Renegades' three-game winning streak and kept them from holding onto a tie for first place in the East. Montreal also lost last week, their second straight, as they fell 36-26 to Edmonton as a 3-point dog. The Als have been a bettor's nightmare so far this season, going 2-7 ATS. Sunday, September 4 - Winnipeg at Saskatchewan, 7:00 pm EDTThe Blue Bombers were embarrassed by the Roughriders the last time they faced off in Week 1, and they'll be looking for a little revenge in Saskatchewan this week. The Roughriders rode all over the Bombers in a 42-15 win as an 8.5-point favorite in Week 1 as QB Nealon Greene found the end zone twice through the air and once on the ground. The Riders will only need a touchdown to cover the spread this time after opening as a 4.5-point favorite. Winnipeg had their two-game win streak snapped last week and handed Hamilton their first win of the season in a 41-39 loss. The Bombers were a 3.5-point favorite in that game and it looked like they had gotten their defense on track before surrendering 41 points to Hamilton. Things are starting to look dire in Saskatchewan as the Roughriders are riding a five-game losing streak. The Riders held their own last week against undefeated B.C., but came up short in a 19-15 loss. The Riders have been as tough on bettors as they have on their fans recently, going 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Monday, September 5 - Edmonton at Calgary, 3:00 pm EDTThe Labour Day classic kicks off in Calgary on Monday afternoon as the Eskimos and Stampeders meet up for the first time this season. Edmonton won both meetings between these two teams last season, including the Labour Day classic, 25-7 in Calgary. The Eskimos have owned the Stamps over the last number of years going 7-1 ATS against them in their last eight matchups. The Eskimos are favored again this year, by 3 points. Edmonton got past Montreal 36-26 as a 3-point favorite last week to snap their two-game losing streak. The Edmonton offense really caught fire last week, scoring a touchdown in every quarter, while QB Ricky Ray had 438 yards passing with two touchdown strikes and a four-yard TD run. Calgary continued their season trend of following up a win with a loss by falling 25-16 to Toronto as a 4.5-point dog. If the trend continues this week the Stamps should win because they haven't had two losses or two wins in a row yet this season. The Stampeders had a good shot at bucking that trend last week before they fell apart in the fourth quarter and gave up 17 points to the Argos. Monday, September 5 - Toronto at Hamilton, 5:45 pm EDTThe Tiger-Cats may not be winless anymore, but they still boast the worst record in the CFL. Hamilton will try to make it two wins in a row Monday afternoon when they host Toronto. This will be the first time these two teams clash this season after Toronto defeated Hamilton three times last year. The only game in which the Argos didn't get past the Ti-Cats and cover the spread last season was a 30-30 draw. The Argos have owned the battle of Ontario recently, going 8-0-1 in their last nine games versus Hamilton. The oddsmakers expect them to add another win to the list, pegging TO as 5-point favorites. Hamilton upset Winnipeg 41-39 as a 3.5-point underdog last week to finally post their first win of the season. The Ti-Cats still reside in the Eastern basement at 1-8, but despite their record have been a pretty good option for bettors, going 5-4 ATS on the season. Toronto reclaimed the top spot in the East with a 25-16 win over Calgary last week. The Argos are riding a two-game winning streak, but their offense has looked a little sluggish of late, averaging only 17 points in their last three games while going 0-3 over/under.
