BC Lions @ Montreal Alouettes Picks
Week 1 CFL Odds: Montreal -6.5
CFL Week 1 Lines: Over/Under 53
The Alouettes and the Lions are two of the few teams that are bringing back the mass majority of their cores from a year ago. And why not? BC really played well down the stretch last year, winning seven of its last 10 games before the crushing OT loss against the Riders in the first round of the playoffs. Even in losses though, this team has played well, losing three of the four games at the end of last year in OT and the other loss coming by just four points. Montreal has a potent offense though, and we tend to believe that the loss of Avon Cobourne in the offseason won’t be felt. This is a relatively short line in favor of what is absolutely the best team in the league. Free CFL Picks: Montreal -6.5
Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats Picks
Week 1 CFL Odds: Hamilton -9
CFL Week 1 Lines: Over/Under 51.5
Is this going to be a year of correction for the Ti-Cats and Bombers? Hamilton probably was a tad lucky to finish at .500 last season, because it really only took advantage of playing in the weak East Division. Meanwhile, we have to remember that Winnipeg, even though it had an absolutely atrocious season with very few positives, lost nine games by five points or fewer last season. We know that that would be more than good enough for us in this one to take the points, but we tend to believe that this game has an upset written all over it. The Bombers will have Buck Pierce at QB to start off the season, at least for as long as he can stay healthy, and while he was under center last season, this was a very, very solid team. Remember that the Blue Bombers had the second best defense in the league a year ago as well. For certain, we want the points on our side in what could be a relatively low scoring affair where the first to 20 might win. Free CFL Picks: Winnipeg +9
Toronto Argonauts @ Calgary Stampeders Picks
Week 1 CFL Odds: Calgary -7.5
CFL Week 1 Lines: Over/Under 51
Many are insistent that Calgary is the best team in the West this year, but we just aren’t so certain. The Stamps were a statistical anomaly last season. They ranked No. 1 in the league both offensively and defensively, yet they were still knocked out of the playoffs in their one game against Saskatchewan. Plenty of changes were made and the entire secondary was gutted. It’s also only a matter of time until Henry Burris and Joffrey Reynolds run out of gas, as they are both in their 30s and clearly coming up on the tail ends of their respective careers. Toronto made it to the East Division finale last year, and Cleo Lemon has really been an improving quarterback in spite of his early struggles. This defense is only going to be getting better with time as well, and if Lemon can hang onto the football and at least string a few first downs together every now and again, the Boatmen could keep this one a lot closer than the experts expect.

Edmonton Eskimos @ Saskatchewan Roughriders Picks
Week 1 CFL Odds: Saskatchewan -6.5
CFL Week 1 Lines: Over/Under 52
On the eve of the Fourth of July, the Eskies and Riders will do battle in what is becoming a tremendous rivalry in the West Division. Unfortunately for Edmonton, this has been all one way traffic in favor of the boys in green and white, and the truth of the matter is that nothing should really change from that standpoint this weekend either. Darian Durant is the superior quarterback in this game; Ricky Ray just doesn’t look like he really has anything left in the tank. Sure, the offense is really going to struggle at times for Saskatchewan without Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz, both of which are now gone, but Durant is still capable of doing some absolutely amazing things. If the defense can get revved up just a bit by the crowd in the Sea of Green, this game could get awfully lopsided, awfully quickly. Don’t be shocked if the Eskimos end up getting absolutely racked in this one at the outset of what could be a very, very long season ahead. Free CFL Picks: Edmonton +6.5
