We’re hanging right there at 25-31 ATS on the season after a rough 1-3 ATS week in which we took some tough beats, and this week presents yet another opportunity to inch our way back towards the .500 mark this year. Join us for our Week 16 CFL picks!

Calgary Stampeders @ Toronto Argonauts Picks
Week 16 CFL Odds: Calgary -6
CFL Week 16 Lines: Over/Under 52.5

Odds have it, the Argos have to stick in front of some number at some point over the course of the rest of the season… right? They looked stingy last week against the Alouettes on Thanksgiving Day for the better part of three quarters before finally succumbing. This week though, we tend to see some more fight in them. Calgary has been a great road team this year, and it’s true that this is as important of a game for it as it has had all season long. That being said, we just don’t like the feel of this team right now, especially defensively, as the Stamps have allowed a whopping 27.2 points per game this season, which is very unlike a Head Coach John Hufnagel squad. Free CFL Picks: Toronto +6

Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ Edmonton Eskimos Picks
Week 16 CFL Odds: Edmonton -2.5
CFL Week 16 Lines: Over/Under 49

For the most part, this game has been accepted as a duel between two teams that are going to the playoffs on nothing but smoke and mirrors. These two teams are only combining to score 48.5 points per game between them, something that you don’t expect to see of clubs that could be winning their divisions in the regular season. Both have had their struggles in the single digits this year as well. The Bombers have a lot to look forward to next week in the clash against Montreal that will likely decide who will get home field advantage in the East Division playoffs, and we tend to think that this long road trip is going to end in disaster. Take the Eskies at home and lay the short 2.5 points. Free CFL Picks: Edmonton -2.5

Hamilton Tiger-Cats @ Montreal Alouettes Picks
Week 16 CFL Odds: Montreal -6.5
CFL Week 16 Lines: Over/Under 56

Hamilton is the only respectable team in the CFL that hasn’t clinched a postseason bid yet this year, but it can get the job done with a win and some help on Sunday. More importantly, a victory could possibly draw the Tabbies within a game of both the Blue Bombers and the Alouettes for the top spot in the East Division. Home field advantage isn’t out of the question. A loss in this one though, and the only thing that the black and gold will have left to play for is some conditioning for the playoffs (assuming that Saskatchewan doesn’t go on some insane run of games). Montreal’s eyes will be glued to next week’s big one with Winnipeg, but it won’t overlook this game, especially not after getting smacked hard on the road by these Ti-Cats in both games at Ivor Wynne Stadium this year. Free CFL Picks: Montreal -6.5

BC Lions @ Saskatchewan Roughriders Picks
Week 16 CFL Odds: BC -7.5
CFL Week 16 Lines: Over/Under 48

We’d love to keeping taking Saskatchewan, as we feel that this team is still more talented than most of the clubs that are going to be in the playoffs this year. However, it’s becoming painstakingly obvious that the men in green have tanked on the season. The team hasn’t found the end zone on offense in three and a half games, and in the last three weeks, there are only a total of nine points on the board. Who would have ever thought that this team would be scoring fewer than 20 points per game?!?!? Now, BC comes to town full of sound and fury with its seven game winning streak and its No. 1 defense at 21.7 points per game. As much as we hate to admit it, we have to lay the points. Free CFL Picks: BC -7.5
