It’s the final week of the regular season and three of the four games still have playoff implications, thus the focus will on those. Toronto is the only team officially eliminated and one squad more will be finished after this weekend, with a bye week to be handed out along with playoff seeding.

It had to happen eventually, but the road dogs were finally placed in the kennel with 0-3 ATS week. Nonetheless, an unbelievable 27-14 ATS season to date record, good for 65.8 percent. With just four games to play, the Under is 39-28-1, 58.2 percent. Odds courtesy of Bookmaker.com.

Friday, November 6

Edmonton at British Columbia (-4, 54)

This is simple, win and your win for these 8-9 teams. Edmonton’s win last week forced this tie and the Eskimos (5-12 ATS) lost to British Columbia 34-31 the last time these teams met. Edmonton is 1-8 ATS revenging a loss versus opponent as a home favorite, losing by over nine points per game.

The Lions (9-8 ATS) have lost last two games by five total points to be in this predicament. They can still live to play another day if they do what they have in the past after two straight losses, cover the spread (6-0 ATS) and win by over 17 points per contest.

B.C. is 5-1 and 4-2 ATS in last six meetings at home.

Saturday, November 7

Calgary at Saskatchewan (-2, 55)

Though Calgary (10-6-1, 10-7 ATS) owns a one game edge, the Stampeders have to win or tie; otherwise Saskatchewan wins the division and earns the week off. Calgary squeaked by B.C. last week 28-26 as 1.5-point favorites and are 5-1-1 ATS off a spread cover.

The Roughriders (9-7-1 SU& ATS) loss to Hamilton did not hurt them terribly, unless they would happen to tie Calgary for a second time in a month. Saskatchewan is 11-3 ATS off a non-conference game over the last two seasons.

How’s this for close, these combatants are 4-4 SU and ATS at Mosaic Stadium the last eight contests.

Sunday, November 8

Hamilton at Winnipeg (-1.5, 49.5)

This is potentially the most complicated playoff scenario if Winnipeg (7-10, 9-8 ATS) wins. The Blue Bombers take second place in the East with a win and further playoff seeding is to be determined. If Winnipeg loses, they join Toronto and can put on big parkas for the winter.

A Hamilton victory or tie means they take second place; however a loss doesn’t necessarily knock them out of playoffs, depending on what happens with Edmonton and British Columbia.

This much we know; Winnipeg has won four in a row at home over the T-Cats and is 9-4 ATS in last 13 confrontations.
