CFL Betting Advice for Week 11

Week 11 of the 2022 CFL season gets underway Friday night. Let’s look at the four-game weekend schedule to get you ready for your CFL.

CFL Betting Advice: Against The Spread!

Canadian Sports Bettors, we apologize for what happened last week in Winnipeg. When the kicker misses several easy field goals, there is little anyone can do. 

It impacted the game in a way that threw everything else off. Sometimes, one just has to take their humble pie and admit defeat. 

With Week 11 upon us, there is one big signature matchup. That would be the British Columbia Lions heading to Saskatchewan to face the Rough Riders tomorrow night.

So, let’s try to help our Ontario Sports Bettors while examining the games. Below is the CFL Week 11 Schedule.

This Week’s Schedule with Moneylines (All Times Eastern)

• Edmonton Elks 2.61 at Ottawa Red Blacks 1.52, Friday, 7 p.m.
• British Columbia Lions 1.50 at Saskatchewan Rough Riders 2.67, Friday, 10 p.m.
• Hamilton Tiger-Cats 2.30 at Montreal Alouettes 1.64, Saturday, 4 p.m.
• Calgary Stampeders 1.71 at Toronto Argonauts 2.20, Saturday, 7 p.m.

Game of the Week

British Columbia Lions 1.50 at Saskatchewan Rough Riders 2.67

This game will be fun and a challenge to gauge out a winner. It is a contest with some question marks. Consider that British Columbia went on the road last week and passed a big test. Unlike the 43-22 loss to Winnipeg earlier in the season, the Lions held on for dear life. 

Their 41-40 victory was full of excitement, and this week might feature more of the same. Yes, the identity of British Columbia, for better or for worse. Taking the moneyline and the Over last week in Calgary was wise. Calgary never lengthened moneyline or spread-wise, which changed our philosophy.

British Columbia rallied for 20 points in Calgary in the fourth quarter. Nathan Rourke completed 39 of 53 passes for a season-high 488 yards. He tossed two touchdowns and ran for two more despite two interceptions. Yes, the Lions allowed 40 points but only seven in the critical fourth quarter. 

The Lions have won four straight games after the loss to Winnipeg. Even the Over hit yet again. British Columbia leads the CFL averaging 36.9 points a contest, and Saskatchewan could benefit after last week. 

The offense is a direction to pivot for sports bettors in a matchup where the Rough Riders scored just 17 points versus the Lions two weeks ago. Even with that Over at 52.0, expect a game where 55-60 points combined is plausible (do not expect 81 like last week). 

Bet the Over and let it ride.

Best Bet of the Week

Edmonton Elks 2.61 at Ottawa Redblacks 1.52

The Over on the slate has been a better bet of late, and Edmonton has seen the Over convert at a 77.7% rate (7-2). So, the best news is that they play an Ottawa team that yields 24.4 points per game. The Elks allow a league-high 36 points per contest.

Ottawa comes in well-rested but struggling on the scoring side of the equation. They scored a mere three points at home against Calgary two weeks ago. The Redblacks had scored 56 points the previous two games, however. 

Edmonton has given up 80 points over the last two weeks themselves. Could Ottawa break off and pile up the offence? Even a little? It is possible.

Pick the Over, Canadian bettors, but watch Edmonton at +4.5. If that number stays close, the Elks may be worth a wager.
