CFL Betting Online: The Saskatchewan Roughriders have lived a long and streaky season, and fans wearing the green and yellow can only rejoice that they are in the midst of a positive run right now. After starting the year out with a 3-game winning streak followed by a 5-game losing streak, the Roughriders have won 2 in a row to leap back up to .500 on the year, like nothing ever happened. Still, their up and down performance has likely frustrated many looking to them in a bet on Canadian Football.  Continue...

CFL Betting Online: The Edmonton Eskimos don’t get to be the favorites coming into a bet on Canadian Football much anymore.

Luckily for all those out there in betting land, Edmonton will get a rare chance to come in as the easy favorite, as on Saturday afternoon they face off against a Hamilton Tiger Cats team that comes in on a devastating 5-game losing streak.  Continue...

CFL Betting Online: There may not be a better matchup in all of the opportunities to bet on Canadian Football than the upcoming showdown between the Toronto Argonauts and the BC Lions, set to kick off on Saturday night in Vancouver, BC.

CFL Betting Online: 52-0. Oh I’m sorry, I thought you asked the score of last week’s matchup between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Considering last week’s game, the live lines should be astronomically in favor of Saskatchewan here, so when you go to bet on Canadian Football, try to factor in just how much money you could win if the Blue Bombers pulled the upset.  Continue...

CFL Betting Online: The Hamilton Tiger Cats and the Toronto Argonauts may stand just one spot away from one another in the East Division, but it is clear to all involved that Toronto has the clear advantage; perhaps, not because of the two-game gap between them in the standings, or even the 1-3 road record for the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
