Free CFL moneyline picks
A moneyline bet in CFL betting is simple - just pick the team you think will win. No need to worry about the spread.
Example:
| Team | Moneyline Odds |
|---|---|
| Winnipeg Blue Bombers | -140 |
| Ottawa Redblacks | +120 |
- Bet $140 on Winnipeg (–140) → Win $100 (total payout: $240)
- Bet $100 on Ottawa (+120) → Win $120 (total payout: $220)
Free CFL Over/Under picks
Totals betting in the CFL centers on total points scored by both teams - not which one wins.
- Typical line: Over/Under 52.5
- Bet the Over if you expect an offensive showcase
- Bet the Under if you forecast a defensive slog
- Odds are usually around -110 on each side
Example:
If the line for Saskatchewan vs. B.C. is set at 52.5 points:
- A final score of 30-25 (total 55) results in an Over win
- A final score of 24-20 (total 44) gives the Under the win
Commonly, a .5 hook is used to prevent a push. Alternate totals and team-specific totals are available for fine-tuned bets at longer or shorter odds.
Free CFL spread picks
Spread betting in the CFL lets you bet on the margin of victory. The favorite must exceed the spread, while the underdog can cover by losing within it.
Example:
| Matchup | Spread | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Calgary Stampeders | -4.5 | -10 |
| Edmonton Elks | +4.5 | -110 |
- A bet on Calgary -4.5 wins if they win by 5 or more
- A bet on Edmonton +4.5 wins if they lose by 4 or fewer, or win outright
Spreads shift based on injuries, travel wear, or public betting splits.
Free CFL player prop picks
CFL player props let you wager on individual performance - such as passing yards, rushing yards, completed passes, interceptions, or field goals made.
Example props:
- Bo Levi Mitchell Over 265.5 passing yards (-110)
- James Butler Over 68.5 rushing yards (+100)
- Kenny Lawler to score a touchdown (-135)
These bets are perfect for backing star players or exploiting mismatches. Use metrics like yards per attempt, usage rate, opponent defensive rank, or red zone frequency to find value.
Alternate lines, such as Mitchell Over 300.5 passing yards, offer higher payouts for stronger confidence plays. Pair shorter odds props with others in parlays or SGPs to boost your overall payout while keeping each leg strong.
How we make our CFL picks & predictions
Our CFL picks focus on one thing - securing the best line. Odds move fast during preseason and regular season, so line shopping is crucial. Don’t settle for –120 on a spread when you can get -105 elsewhere for the same matchup.
We dig deeper than box score stats, using advanced analytics like yards per play, red-zone efficiency, turnover margins, QB rating under pressure, and drive tempo. Our prop selections come from trends in snap counts, matchups, and game scripts.
Favorites don’t always run away with it, and underdogs in the CFL can spring big value - especially in toss-up games or stiff air in western stadiums. Our advice: stay data-driven, shop the best number, and let the analytics guide your plays.
