The CFL comprises nine teams, each from a Canadian city, divided into two conferences - east and west. During the regular season, each team plays 18 matches across a 21-week season, from July to November. 

The play-offs involve six teams playing for three weeks, culminating in the Grey Cup championship game.

Sportsbooks allow fans to predict the outcome of the conferences and overall winners with CFL futures markets, but here we look at the odds available on individual matches, both pre-match and in-play.

CFL Straight Bet Odds

Placing a straight bet is the most popular and simplistic type of CFL wager. There are two ways to place a CFL straight bet: by picking a points spread or betting the money line odds. In order to win a straight bet, you need to correctly pick the team that wins the match or cover the points spread.

Before every CFL game, a sportsbook will create a line or a point spread in an attempt to even out the odds for the game between a big favorite and an underdog. For example, a much better team or a team that always performs well at home will be the favorite and the points will be spread to make the match-up fair from a betting odds perspective. The point spread odds make the game more equal for both teams and more entertaining for the bettor.

CFL Point Spread

Just like with NFL, CFL spread is the most popular form of betting on football. Here, the wager is for a team to overcome a given virtual handicap set pre-match.

The spread is set depending on the teams involved and how the sportsbooks perceive their relative strengths. The favourites will be given a handicap, while the underdogs will be given an advantage.

For example, a spread of Toronto Argonauts -6.5 vs Ottawa Redblacks +6.5, would need Toronto to win by seven points or more for the bet to win.

This type of bet is popular as it allows improved odds on the favourites or a way of backing the underdogs with an improved chance.

CFL Moneyline Explained

CFL moneyline bets are the simplest way to bet on football, where the wager is simply on the outcome of the match - which team will win?

The moneyline is similar to the +6.5 / -6.5 number in the point spread, but the moneyline odds will be much higher or lower based on which teams are playing. A hot favorite CFL team might be listed as -270, which means you will need to bet $270 to make $100, while the underdog could be priced at odds of +300, bagging you a sweet $300 from every $100 you wager.

An example of a CFL moneyline market might be:

Toronto Argonauts -300 / Ottawa Redblacks +250

CFL Total Odds - Over-Under Betting Explained

The total market challenges bettors to predict whether the total points of the match will be higher or lower than a specified amount.

For example, Toronto Argonauts vs Ottawa Redblacks over 54.5 points could be priced at -110, while under 54.5 would be similar odds. The challenge for the bettor is to predict whether there will be 55 points or more in the match. 

This is a nice bet if you see a match being high-scoring or cagey, with few points traded between the teams.

CFL Parlay Odds

CFL parlay bets allow fans to boost their odds by grouping multiple bets together. Bets can be across different markets, games, tournaments or even sports and can include huge numbers of selections, or “folds”. 

Parlays are a great way to win big off a small amount, but the more selections there are, the harder it is to win.

CFL Futures Odds

If you are looking for higher odds and winning big, then futures is the right bet for you. The Grey Cup is the most popular CFL futures bet and every November after the final you can pick an outsider to win at impressive odds.

CFL Prop Bet

CFL prop bets are betting on a specific thing to happen in an event. Prop bets can be hugely varied, including player props such as how many yards a quarterback will throw in a game, how many times he’ll be sacked and how many incomplete passes he’ll make.
