Writer’s Picks for the CFL Week 12 Action

B.C. Lions at Ottawa Redblacks

The B.C. Lions have been trending in the wrong direction over the past month.

Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. was having a hard time with injuries.

In an interesting move, B.C. brought back former star quarterback Nathan Rourke last week. 

Rourke had spent the last few seasons in the NFL.

But Rourke’s return was the happy reunion fans and management hoped for.

Instead, Rourke spent the post-game press conference apologizing for a poor performance following a 20-11 loss to Winnipeg.

It was a rough moment, but he should improve as he gets more time to practice.

The Lions’ odds as favorites to win the Grey Cup have tumbled from favorites to the second-best odds.

B.C. has lost four games in a row and is now +240 to lift the cup.

The Montreal Alouettes are the defending champions and are the hottest team in the league.

The Alouettes, who are the favorites are +205, are 9-1 so far this season and have one of the most well-rounded teams.

Winnipeg is starting to emerge as a dark horse.

After the Blue Bombers struggled mightily to start the year, the Blue Bombers’ strong defense has them as winners of two straight and moving within a game-and-a-half of first place.

Should Lions Be Favored?

The Ottawa Redblacks may not be the sexiest offensive team.

But the Redblacks play together well and have the grit to grind out victories.

Ottawa is on a five-game unbeaten streak.

The Redblacks picked up a strong win on the road last week, handing Calgary their first home loss last week.

Ottawa has also been excellent at home this year, producing a 4-0-1 record.

The Redblacks are sixth in the league in points scored at 25.2 points per game.

Ottawa has an effective defense, allowing the second-fewest yards per game.

It’s surprising that the Redblacks are 1.5-point underdogs against a free-falling B.C. team.

The Lions have lost four straight games.

During this stretch, B.C. has scored 16 or fewer points during the final three games.

The Lions are hoping that Rourke can return to his former level of play.

B.C. is 4-6 against the spread this season.

The Lions have too much talent on offense to see this trend continue all season.

It may not stop this weekend.

Back Ottawa to win this game at home.

Roughriders vs Argonauts

Kelly Ready to Return for Toronto

Toronto has been waiting all season to see if quarterback Chad Kelly would be allowed to return.

He was suspended in the offseason following his violation of the league’s gender-based violence policy.

Toronto’s quarterback play in his absence was inefficient at best.

The Argonauts started the season 5-4 when playing without Kelly, who was the league’s Most Outstanding Player last season.

Kelly threw for 4,123 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.

If he can match most of his production from last season, the Argonauts will be dangerous to make a run at the championship.

Toronto, which is a 2.5-point favorite over Saskatchewan this weekend, may be catching the Roughriders at the right time.

The Roughriders are on a four-game winless streak.

Saskatchewan is winless in five of its past six games, including a tie on the road at Ottawa.

Saskatchewan got good injury news last week when Trevor Harris returned from injury at quarterback.

The Roughriders only lost by three points to Montreal last week.

This one will be close, but Kelly’s return should energize Toronto.

Tiger-Cats vs Blue Bombers

Is Winnipeg Back?

The Blue Bombers’ defense has been crushing over the past few weeks.

Winnipeg has held its last four opponents to 20 points or fewer.

The Blue Bombers have been a team that can be counted on to be in low-scoring affairs.

Winnipeg has seen nine of its past 10 games go under the total.

Over the past two weeks, the Blue Bombers saved their season with back-to-back wins over B.C. Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros has been up-and-down this season.

He has thrown nine interceptions against over five touchdowns.

Hamilton is in a tough spot in this game.

The Tiger-Cats have lost three straight games.

Hamilton’s defense has been playing rough.

The Tiger-Cats have allowed 33 or more points in all of those losses.

Hamilton quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell is dangerous.

Mitchell has thrown 19 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.

This match should come in under the total and Winnipeg will pick up a win.

Edmonton Elks at Montreal Alouettes

Montreal Needs to Shut Down Edmonton’s Momentum.

The Alouettes pulled out a narrow win last week on the road last week against the Roughriders.

But it wasn’t easy. Montreal had to score late to pull out a narrow, three-point victory.

The Aloeuttes have won four straight games and are 6.5-point favorites against Edmonton.

The Elks aren’t the team they were at the beginning of the season.

After suffering seven consecutive losses to start the season, Edmonton has figured things out.

Edmonton has seen three of its past four games over the past month.

Back this game to go over the total.

Montreal should win this game, but the Elks’ offense has figured things out and they should be able to trouble the Alouettes’ defense. 

When the two teams met in Week 2, Montreal was only able to escape with a three-point win.

This could be another instance where the two teams get locked in a close battle.
