CFL Betting Lines - Week 9 Game PreviewsWhile the NFL is just getting started with preseason games this week, the CFL is almost halfway through the season entering Week 9 action up north. On Thursday night, B.C. and Winnipeg (with their identical 5-3 records) get things started. The Friday night game sees Saskatchewan and Edmonton both looking to rebound from tough losses. The Saturday doubleheader pits Toronto against Hamilton, and Montreal against Calgary. B.C. (5-3) at Winnipeg (5-3) - Thursday, 8 pm ETThe Lions whipped the Eskimos 34-17 as 7-point favorites last week, but saw quarterback Dave Dickenson go down with a high ankle sprain. Dickenson had thrown for 180 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game. His replacement, Buck Pierce, filled in admirably, throwing for 182 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It looks like it doesn't matter who's throwing to WR Geroy Simon, who amassed 196 yards and two touchdowns on five receptions. Dickenson is currently listed as questionable for this week's game, so watch for updates on his status as kickoff approaches. The Blue Bombers ran into injury troubles of their own this last game in a 26-11 loss to Hamilton. Quarterback Kevin Glenn went down with a knee injury and is listed as doubtful for this week. If Glenn can't go, QB Mike Quinn - who has missed the last three weeks with a clavicle injury - will get his first-ever CFL start. The Bombers' offense could be in even more trouble this week if Milt Stegall is out. Stegall, the Bombers' leading receiver, missed last week's game with a rib cage injury and is questionable to return this week. This will be the first time this season that Winnipeg and B.C. will meet. They clashed twice last year with the home team winning each contest. The Lions were favored in both games, but only covered once. B.C. is favored again this week after opening as a 4-point favorite. Saskatchewan (3-4) at Edmonton (2-5) - Friday, 9:30 pm ETOne week after handing Calgary a loss, Saskatchewan couldn't get past the Stampeders again as they fell to Calgary 23-7 last week as a 3-point underdog. Roughriders' quarterback Kerry Joseph threw for 233 yards with one interception, but never found the end zone. Saskatchewan's scoring consisted of only two field goals and a single. The Edmonton Eskimos' disappointing season continued last week as they dropped their third in a row, 34-17 to B.C. as 7-point underdogs. Ricky Ray passed for 135 yards with one touchdown in the loss. Troy Davis scored his first rushing touchdown of the season, while racking up 45 yards on 12 carries. This is the first time this season that Saskatchewan and Edmonton will meet. The two teams clashed twice last season with each team winning once; both victories came by a single point. Edmonton was favored in both games, but failed to cover either game. Despite their struggles, the Eskimos are a 3-point favorite in this game. Toronto (2-5) at Hamilton (2-6) - Saturday, 7 pm ETIt's not hard to see why the Argonauts fired offensive co-ordinator Kent Austin after last week's game. Toronto got hammered 34-7 by Montreal as a 10-point underdog as their offense continued to struggle. The Argos now boast the worst offense in the league, having scored only 113 points in seven games. The offense should get a lift this week by the expected return of starting quarterback Damon Allen, who has missed most of the season with a broken finger. Two weeks ago Hamilton was embarrassed in a 29-0 defeat. Last week they turned the tables on Winnipeg (who handed them the shutout loss) with a surprise 26-11 victory, as 10-point underdogs. Quarterback Jason Maas returned from injury to throw for 170 yards with a pair of touchdowns. Josh Ranek had his best game of the season, as he rushed for 164 yards on 27 carries, while also catching a touchdown pass. The Argos and Ti-Cats battled back in Week 1 when Toronto knocked off Hamilton 27-17 as a 4.5-point home favorite. The Tiger-Cats are a 3-point favorite in the rematch. Montreal (7-0) at Calgary (4-4) - Saturday, 10 pm ET The Alouettes maintained their undefeated record last week by crushing the Argonauts 34-7 as a 10-point favorite. Anthony Calvillo (242 yards, 0 TDs) was once again upstaged by running back Robert Edwards, who rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries. Kicker Damon Duval was solid once again, connecting on five-of-six field goals and two singles. The Stampeders snapped a three-game losing streak last week by downing the Roughriders 23-7 as a 3-point favorite. Henry Burris finally got out of the funk he had been in, throwing for 255 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Joffrey Reynolds kept on putting up big numbers, as he rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. This is the first meeting between Montreal and Calgary this season. They split two games last season with the visiting team winning each time. Montreal was 1-1 ATS as the favorite in those games. Montreal is the oddsmakers' choice again after opening as a 4.5-point favorite.
