4-Unit Play. Take #351. Edmonton -3 vs British Columbia (Thursday @ 10:00p.m. est).
The Edmonton Eskimos seem to have finally found their footing this season, posting three straight wins against three different teams in three completely different fashions. They now head to BC to take on a Lions team that is coming off back-to-back losses and are playing on a short week. The Lions mustered just 335 total yards last week against the Stampeders and I expect them to struggle moving the ball against an Eskimos defense that has picked up the slack during the three-game winning streak. Travis Lulay remains under center for the Lions and has put up just four touchdowns and two interceptions in 112 passing attempts. How on earth is that production going to keep the Lions in the game against and Eskimos offense that has scored 28 points per game over their three game winning streak. Reilly has thrown for a league high 2,320 yards and 14 touchdowns in the first seven games. Safe to say he is aiming for a second-consecutive MOP award. This line may seem like a trap line but don't be fooled. The better team here is the Eskimos and they are well rested and need this win to keep pace with the Stampeders. Edmonton is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs the West and 4-0 ATS in their last four against the Lions.

4-Unit Play. #351. Take Under 54 Edmonton vs. British Columbia (Thursday @ 10pm est)
You have a BC team that has lost back to back games and needs a big win here and they gave up 44 points to this team earlier this year and will have big revenge on their mind at leats defensively. Edmonton will have a tough time scoring a bit here and BC will look to run the ball and keep the pace at a slower level as they simply cannot match the #1 passing offense that Edmonton has. Look for a slower grind out contest that likely sees this game go under the posted total today.

CFL FOOTBALL WEEK #9
4 Unit Play. #354 Winnipeg -6 over Hamilton (8:30p.m., Friday, August 10)
Last week Hamilton snapped their 3-game losing streak by beating Montreal 50-11 but that was no tough task. Winnipeg is coming off their bye week and the Blue Bombers come into this home game off back-to-back wins. The Bombers have also won back-to-back home games by double-digits and wouldn?t shock me to see the Bombers have no problem in this matchup against Hamilton. Hamilton is 5-12 ATS following a SU win and the Blue Bombers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.

7-Unit Play. Take #351 Edmonton -3 over B.C. (Thursday, August 9th at 10:00 PM ET)
Take Edmonton ATS as my 7-Unit CFL Smash for Thursday night. This pick falls into one of my top CFL systems and the Eskimos have absolutely owned the Lions in the past which I don't see changing tonight. The Lions offense will not be able to keep up with this Eskimos team that has averaged 31.3 ppg on the road this season. The Lions have averaged just 21 ppg at home this season and just 4.5 ppg in the 1st half of games at home this season. Edmonton already routed the Lions by 19 points earlier this season and the last time Edmonton went to B.C. they put up 35 points in a 6-point win over the Lions. The Eskimos have won the last 4 games played against the Lions, and this Lions team is the worst one offensively that they have faced the last 3 seasons. The Eskimos have averaged 473.3 ypg on the road this season and 33.3 ppg in divisional games. The Eskimos have also held opponents to just 19 ppg over their last 3 games and just 329 ypg over those 3 games so it will be a tall task for the Lions to keep up tonight. Edmonton is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 divisional games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against the Lions. Play Edmonton ATS as we move to 7-2 through the first 9 weeks of the CFL season.

5-Unit Play: Take 352 BC Lions +3.5 over Edmonton (10 p.m., Thurs, Aug 9)
I'm taking the points with the BC Lions on Thursday. We cashed with BC last week and we like BC much better now than we did just four weeks ago. That's because Travis Lulay has started at QB the last three weeks and he's piled-up 932 yards with a 64% completion rate, with 4 TDs and 2 INTs. When Edmonton beat BC five games ago, the Eskimos defense faced an offense led by the less capable Jonathan Jennings. BC actually led 11-2 after one quarter and trailed just 17-14 at the half before Edmonton pulled away over the final two quarters. All five Edmonton wins have been of the come-from-behind variety and we believe that "lifestyle" catches up with them tonight. We went against Edmonton last week and watched the Esks score 9 points in the final 2:43, winning 26-19 (push) after trailing 19-17 to Saskatchewan. Mike Kelly completed just 13 of 27 passes, while the pass defense was mediocre. We should also note the Eskimos allowed the Riders to average 5.8 yards on first down, 7 yards on second down, and 5.6 yards per carry overall. Edmonton also allowed hapless Montreal 9.5 yards per second down the previous week. BC ran for 6.3 yards per carry in the first meeting, but again, didn't have Lulay at QB. Tonight they do...and we'll back the underdog. It's the BC Lions the points for us on Thursday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

7 Unit Play. Take #354 Winnipeg -6 over Hamilton (8:30 PM, Friday, August 10, 8:30 PM)
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will look to extend their win streak to three games when they take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, MB on Friday night. The Blue Bombers have posted a 7-0 ATS record in their last seven games played in the month of August and they have gone an excellent 8-3 ATS in their last eleven games where they faced a team with a losing % of .500 or lower. They have also covered the number in five of their last seven Friday night games for whatever reason and they are an impressive 19-8 ATS in their last 27 games overall going back to the last few weeks of the 2016 season. The Tiger-Cats, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 5-12 ATS in their last seventeen games following a straight up win and they have failed to cover the number in 15 of their last 21 games where they faced a team with a winning record. Throw in the fact that the Blue Bombers are a lights out 7-3 ATS in their last ten home games and we're going to lay the points with them here in a game that our numbers have them winning by double digits in Winnipeg on Friday night.

7-Unit Play. Take #356 Ottawa (-14) over Montreal (8 p.m., Saturday, August 11)
The RedBlacks blew a great chance to create more separation from the rest of their division by giving up a 24 point third quarter lead in a loss to the Argos. They need to put some better games together before they can be considered a serious Grey Cup threat and Trevor Harris needs to be more consistent. 4-3 still keeps them in the drivers seat and a matchup with the punchless Alouettes will surely give them some confidence. Montreal has no clue what they are doing offensively and Johnny Football appeared overnmatched last week in a blowout loss. The Als have other options at quarterback but whomever they trot out there it will be an adventure. Defensively they are not much better lately and this Ottawa team is primed to put together a complete game so go ahead and lay the big number.
