With Friday night's game now behind us (Ottawa upset Montreal), that leaves three exciting matchups for Labour Day weekend.
This has traditionally been a "rivalry week" in the CFL with teams usually playing against opponents with some extra motivation,
Action continues on Sunday with CFL powerhouse Winnipeg (10-1) at Saskatchewan (6-4). Then, Monday will feature two-day games. First, Toronto (5-5) travels to Hamilton (3-8) in an inner-Ontario matchup that could potentially shake up the East Division standings. The holiday concludes with Calgary (6-4) at home as a big favourite hosting lowly Edmonton (3-8).
Canadians can enhance the national celebration by making a wager or two on these intriguing matchups.
WPG-SAS kicks off Sun. at 5 pm CDT. Line is Bombers by 3.5 with O/U at 44.5.
TOR-HAM begins Mon. at 1:30 pm EDT. Line is T-Cats by 1.5 with O/U at 49.5.
And the CGY-EDM game caps off CFL Week 13 with a 3:30 pm MDT start. Line is Stamps by 12.5 with O/U at 49.5.
Prediction (powered by Pointspreads):
Here's a stat that must be considered when capping this week's games. Over the past 10 seasons, home teams in the Sunday/Monday rivalry games are a combined 23-5 straight up.
Given this information, let's venture some guesses on all three games.
First, we'll balk at history and take the Bombers and lay the points. Winnipeg is simply too talented for the Riders.
Second, we'll jump on the home team T-cats in the Monday festival, laying a small number.
Third, let's also take a flyer on the Elks getting a huge amount of points at home. Yes, Edmonton is 0-7 in divisional play this season and lost by 5 TDs to this team in their first meeting. That said, the Stamps might not take this game so seriously and could allow for a backdoor cover by the underdog.
So, it's Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Edmonton for our three-team Labour Day weekend trifecta.
