2024 CFL Week 19 Betting: Top Games for the Weekend!

In CFL betting, a point spread is used to create a competitive betting environment between two teams by assigning a value to the favored team.

When you place a bet against the spread, you’re betting on the outcome of a game while factoring in that spread value.

To understand how point spreads work in CFL betting, let’s look at some examples from this weekend’s games in Week 19:

1. Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats

2. Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions

3. Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Elks

Understanding these point spreads is crucial for making informed bets.

They not only indicate which team is favored to win but also help in assessing the potential risk and reward of your bets.

The CFL season is close to wrapping up. There is no better time than right now as to place your CFL Grey Cup bets. The odds are as good as they will ever be. With teams clinching sports or on the verge of elimination, this week simply means more. Come check out the Week 18 updated Grey Cup Betting Odds and this week’s best bets. Let’s jump right into action so you don’t miss your chance to bet against the CFL Lines.

Updated 2022 Grey Cup Betting Odds and Top Matches Heading Into Week 19 of the CFL Regular Season

TIER 1: Ticket punched

Winnipeg Blue Bombers: +130

They have been the favorite for 18 weeks in a row. They have already clinched the West division title game. The season is not over, and they are two wins away from a three-peat. It seems unlikely that any teams dethrone them. 

Calgary Stampeders: +400

The Stampeders have clinched a spot in the postseason. This team is very scary and could make some noise. But can they beat Winnipeg? They did not do it at any point in the regular season. 

Toronto Argonauts: +450

Toronto is currently the leader in the East and are the only team to clinch postseason contention. However, it is uncertain of their seeding. Do not bet on them until after their series with Montréal. It remains to be seen if they truly are the best in the east.

B.C Lions: +450

BC has punched their ticket to the playoffs. However, the Lions have been awfully banged up, and the defense seems to be on the ropes right now. But, star quarterback Nathan Rourke could potentially comeback from injury, thus making them a large threat out of the west with him back on the roster.

TIER 2: In the hunt

Montréal Alouettes: +1000

The Als fumbled their opportunity to clinch last week. They can still do it this week, and it is highly unlikely Montreal misses the postseason. The Als have a key series against Toronto and even though the value is great, hold off on any east division team. 

Saskatchewan Roughriders: +2000

If the Roughriders keep up this pace, they could have a chance to be the crossover team in the playoffs. This team has been inconsistent but are still one game ahead from the team behind them. 

Hamilton Tiger-Cats: +2500

They currently stand one game back of a playoff spot. It remains to be seen if they get it or lose it in the crossover. Do not bet on this team, regardless. 

TIER 3: Outside looking in  

Ottawa Redblacks: +20000 and Edmonton Elks: +20000

Are you surprised? If you read these weekly, you shouldn’t be. Hockey season is starting, and now these cities have something to be excited about! 

Week 18 Best Bets

Montréal Alouettes (-3.5) vs Ottawa Redblacks

Ottawa has had Montréals number this year, but the Als now understand that they need this win. The team, despite critics saying they are falling apart, can get on a hot streak at the right time yet again!

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-2) vs. BC Lions

BC is very hurt this week. Even with the potential of starters on Winnipeg being sat, it is unlikely that will happen, and the Bombers will chance regular season history on the route to postseason immortality. 

Previous Betting News

With three weeks of regular season action remaining in the 2019 CFL regular season, it’s time to offer up a pair of expert picks on two Saturday Week 19 matchups that both have the look of value-packed pairings that could help you increase your annual betting bankroll in a big way. Now, let’s find out who’s in action and which teams are offering the best value against their CFL Odds.

CFL Week 19 Odds, Preview and Picks

Ottawa Redblacks (3-12) at Hamilton Tigercats (12-3)

• When: Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 4:00 PM ET
• Where: Tim Horton Field, Hamilton, ON
• CFL Week 19 Odds: Hamilton -17.5 / Total: 51
• Live Stream: CFL.ca 

The Ottawa RedBlacks have lost eight straight games including a 28-21 road loss to Toronto last weekend. The RedBlacks are averaging just 17.3 points per game while allowing a whopping 30.0 points per contest defensively. Ottawa has gone a dismal 1-6 ATS over their last seven games.

Hamilton has won three straight and six of their last seven games including an emphatic 42-12 smackdown of Edmonton last weekend. The Tiger-Cats rank first in scoring (30.6 ppg) and an equally impressive first in points allowed (19.2 ppg). Hamilton has won two straight in this series including a 21-7 win in Ottawa in August.

The Tiger-Cats are 4-0-2 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win, 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Despite those concrete ATS trends, the RedBlacks are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road dates against Hamilton and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings overall. Nevertheless, I’m going with red-hot Hamilton to get the big win to keep their momentum going as they get set for the quickly approaching playoffs.

Pick: Hamilton 35 Ottawa 17

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (10-6) at Calgary Stampeders (10-5)

• When: Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 7:00 PM ET
• Where: McMahon Stadium, Calgary, AB
• CFL Week 19 Odds: Calgary -7 / Total: 50.5
• Live Stream: CFL.ca 

Winnipeg managed to snap a three-game losing streak by beating Montreal 35-24 last weekend. The Blue Bombers are ranked a stellar second in scoring (27.9 ppg) and an identical second in points allowed (21.5 ppg). Calgary has won five of six and bounced back from a loss in their previous game to take down Saskatchewan 30-28 last weekend despite failing to cover the chalk as a 3.5-point home favorite.

Winnipeg picked up a hard-fought 26-24 win at home on August 8, but these two rivals have alternated SU wins and losses over their last six meetings. While the Blue Bombers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in October. Calgary has gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 against their Western Conference counterparts and I believe the Stampeders are going to take care of business at home in this Week 19 matchup, although I’m going with Winnipeg to cover the spread in another thriller between these two.

Pick: Calgary 27 Winnipeg 24
