Written by Scott on Friday, August 15th, 2014Follow @BetCFLWell a solid week with the CFL Betting Tips as we went 2-1-1.
We had the Stampeders -13 over the Redblacks and this was an easy win for us. The Stamps won 38-17 to easily cover the spread. Calgary scored 21 points off of three TDs in the 2nd quarter alone.
Our other win came from our Eskimos -6.5 over the Alouettes with Edmonton coming out on top 33-23. Huge first half by the Eskies putting up 30 before halftime. Calgary and Edmonton remain tied for first in the West Division and the CFL.
We had a push which came when we bet the Lions -7 over the Tiger-Cats with the final score being 36-29. A push is much better than a loss and this was super close to being that. But a Lions FG with 4 seconds left in the game gave us the push.
Our loss came when we had tipped the Blue Bombers +2.5 against the Rough Riders. This was a great game and the Bombers were up heading into the the 2nd half. But it was the Riders D who scored 2 defensive TDs in the second half to give them the 23-17 win over Winnipeg
There was an early game this week and it took place on Tuesday. It was the Blue Bombers vs the Argonauts. The Argos scored 21 points in the 2nd quarter and 17 in the 4th for the easy win. Big game from Ricky Ray you went 26 – 45 for 295 yards and 4 TDs.
With 1 game down, here is what the remaining schedule looks like for week 8
Friday, August 15th : Eskimos vs Redblacks @ 7:30pm
Saturday, August 16th : Stampeders vs Tiger-Cats @3:00pm, Alouettes vs Roughriders @ 7:00pm
Sunday, August 17th : Lions vs Argonauts @ 7:30pm
Eskimos vs Redblacks Betting Tips:
The Eskimos should and will win this game but the question is by how many points?
They share the lead for #1 overall in the CFL and it’s no fluke. This team is for real and have the leagues best defense.
We all knew Ottawa would have a rough year and they have shown signs of life but this isn’t their year. They are still learning and against the Eskies this is a case of learning from a loss
I like the Edmonton Eskimos -7.5 for 1.91 at Sports Interaction
Stampeders vs Tiger-Cats Betting Tips:
The Ticats have played games where they were so close and “should” have won. And now they get to take on a powerhouse Stamps squad.
Hamilton has already played the 3 teams tied for 1st and came up just short. In week 2 lost to Edmonton by only 4 points, week 4 played Calgary and only lost by 3 and in week 6 played Winnipeg and lost by only a point. They have been close but came up short
Yes Calgary is amazing and they have a great shot of winning this game. But with the amount of close games that Hamilton has played in and kept it within reach we gotta like the Ticats with the points.
Head to Sports Interaction and bet the Hamilton Tiger-Cats +3
Alouettes vs Rough Riders Betting Tips:
Montreal is a bad team right now and this match up doesn’t look like things are about to get any better.
The Riders are on fire right now having won 3 in a row and are looking like the champs from last year.
I can’t see the Alouettes being able to snap their streak and the Riders will push it to 4 in a row.
Bet the Rough Riders -13 in the blowout at Sports Interaction
Lions vs Argonauts Betting Tips:
Having just played on Tuesday, the Argos come in to this game with very little time to prepare
The Lions are playing great football of late winning 4 of 5 yet still sit in last in the West Division thanks to the overall strength of the West. The Lions 4-3 record for 8 points would put them in first in the East.
This will be a close game and with the Lions being rested and the Argo having played already this week, we like the Lions.
Bet the Lions -3 at Sports Interaction
