The Canadian Football League will be in action with a pair of games on both, Friday an Saturday night. For that handful of football fans north of the U.S.-Canadian border that loves the CFL Betting Action, here is a good look at the latest Canadian Football Odds and a trio of gridiron picks for Week 20, the final week of the 2017 regular season.
Head coach Marc Trestman won’t be easing Anthony Coombs back into the Toronto Argonauts’ lineup. The 25-year-old Winnipeg native practiced Tuesday after being activated from the six-game injured list. Trestman said Coombs will start Saturday night when Toronto (8-9) visits the B.C. Lions (7-10) in the regular-season finale for both teams.
“He had a very good practice,” Trestman said. “He’s our most versatile player because he not only has to be considered a receiver but a running back as well.”
The five-foot-nine, 199-pound Coombs, who has played both running back and slotback in Toronto’s offense, suffered a broken collarbone in a 38-6 win over Montreal on Aug. 19 that required surgery. The former Manitoba Bisons star, taken third overall by the Argos in the ’14 CFL draft, was enjoying a solid season with 47 catches for 426 yards and a TD in nine games.
“Perfect timing,” Coombs said. “Everybody knows what’s at stake. This is a big game, it’s probably the biggest game of the season. We’re treating it as a playoff game.”
B.C. has been eliminated from playoff contention but is coming off a solid 36-27 road win over Winnipeg. The Lions are 3-5 at home and have dropped their last two games at B.C. Place Stadium versus East Division teams (30-25 to Ottawa on Oct. 7, 24-23 to Hamilton on Sept. 22).
“Ottawa won (in B.C.) and Hamilton did the same a few weeks ago so it’s our turn,” said Toronto linebacker Bear Woods. “You want to go into the playoffs with a win.
“Who wants to go in with a loss? Nobody and we happen to be in a situation where we need to win to regain first place.”
Trouble is, Toronto is 2-6 on the road and 2-7 versus West Division teams.
The Argonauts are just 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games overall and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win.
Unfortunately, the BC Lions are just 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. With the Argonauts going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in BC, Toronto is the pick in this one!
Pick: Toronto Argonauts
