2-Unit Play. Take #684 Saskatchewan (-4.5) Over Toronto (7 pm, Saturday August 29)
The two game losing streak for Roughriders will have Saskatchewan motivated and ready. Toronto defense won’t be able to hold up. Take Saskatchewan to win and cover the spread.

3-Unit Play. Take #682 Calgary Money Line -140 vs Hamilton (3 p.m., Saturday, Aug 29)
This line dropped so much (due to QB injury for Stamps) that the money line is absolutely a reasonable option here. I will lay that price and I love having the Stampeders at home and off a bye week and just needing a SU win to cash this ticket. They are a solid overall team and better than their record shows and I trust QB Josh Love to manage this game well enough that they get the win over a Tiger-Cats team that has been quite inconsistent this season. Lay the price. 3* CALGARY Money Line -140
4-Unit Play. Take #684 Saskatchewan -3.5 -115 vs Toronto (7 p.m., Saturday, Aug 29)
This line is holding at 3.5 in some big books like DraftKings and for just a little extra juice and I love the value here with the Roughriders in the perfect spot for a solid home win. Yes, they are off B2B losses but both were on the road. Yes, Toronto is entering this game off a win but they got blasted the week before and scored only 12 points in a road loss. Now the Argonauts on are the road again and they face an angry Riders team that is very hungry to get back into the win column. Keep in mind, this team has not lost 3 straight games since 2024! I really like the hosts to respond in a big way here and I believe a key will be the Roughriders solid rushing defense as well as the fact that Riders had 475 yards against the Argos in the first meeting and their confidence of attack the Toronto D really helps here. The Riders were sloppy last week in terms of penatlies and pass protection and turnovers. They seemed to be lamenting the prior week's loss. They are now back home and fired up and this one sets up perfect. 4* SASKATCHEWAN -3.5 -115

7-Unit Play. Take #682 Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Calgary Stampeders Under 56.5 (3:00p.m., Saturday, August 29th)
We have QBs banged up on both sides here, but despite whoever plays on either side, we like the under in this game. Calgary started the year as an over machine, going over in their first eight games straight, but they have now gone under twice in a row, and Hamilton is not exactly a scoring machine either. The Ti-Cats really struggle to score points, and we think this is a slower-paced game than the books think. Let's ride the under here.

3-Unit Play: CFL Take HAM Tiger-Cats vs. CGY Stampeders (UNDER 56 Total Points) (-110) (3:00PM, Saturday, August 29th)
We're backing the Calgary Stampeders and taking the Under on the posted total as Hamilton heads to McMahon Stadium for a Saturday CFL showdown. This match features two middle-of-the-pack CFL squads looking to establish identity in the second half of the season. While the open field in Canadian football often invites high scoring, a total pushing close to 60 points gives us a high line to sell. Both offensive units have shown inconsistencies sustaining long drives, and defensive adjustments should keep this game far more grounded than bookmakers are anticipating. Calgary already holds a psychological advantage over Hamilton after pulling away in a 44-20 victory earlier this month. With home-field advantage at McMahon Stadium and a more disciplined defensive front, the Stampeders have the clear structural tools to control tempo and force field goal attempts rather than quick touchdowns. Expect Calgary to establish the run, control game flow, and keep points at a premium while pulling away to cover the spread.
