2025 CFL Week 11 Picks and Betting Odds: Ti-Cats at Riders highlights Week 11 schedule
From the top two teams in each division facing off to the bottom two teams in each division battling, there will be no easy wins in Week 11 of the 2025 CFL season. We’re here to try to make sense of it all, so let’s dive right in.

Ottawa RedBlacks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers
It’s a battle between third place teams in their respective divisions to kick off Week 11, with 4-4 Winnipeg hosting 3-6 Ottawa.
The RedBlacks are riding a high after Dru Brown threw for 373 yards and a career-high five TDs in a 46-42 shootout win in Toronto last week. This offence is finally healthy and fully humming right now. In addition to Brown’s performance last week, Justin Hardy and Bralon Addison each had 100-yard receiving games, while William Stanback ran for 84 yards.
Winnipeg lost a heartbreaker with a last-second walk off field goal to lose 28-27 in Calgary last week, but they only have themselves to blame after blowing a 17-0 lead. The one bright spot was Brady Oliveira, who led the team in both rushing yards (68) and receiving yards (100).
The Bombers have the best rushing offence in the CFL and average the second-fewest passing yards per game, so Oliveira should be a big factor again this week. Meanwhile, Ottawa boats the third-best rushing defence. I think Winnipeg pulls out a slim win, but it will be close.
Pick: RedBlacks +5.5
Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Elks
It’s been a disappointing year for both Toronto and Edmonton, who sit dead last in their divisions with two wins apiece.
The Argos blew a 21-point first quarter lead last week against Ottawa, wasting a great performance from Nick Arbuckle, who threw for 317 yards, three TDs and just one interception. The defence was decimated in the off-season and it shows as Toronto is allowing a league-worst 32.4 points per game while giving up the most rushing yards per game (114.8).
Edmonton should be riding high after shocking the CFL with a 23-22 victory in Montreal last week. Cody Fajardo was the hero in his return to la belle province, orchestrating a late game-winning drive. Fajardo is averaging almost 300 passing yards in each of his last three games while throwing for five TDs and only one interception in that time.
The Elks don’t have a great record at home in recent years, but I see a win for them this week. Toronto’s defence is reeling and the Argos are ripe for the picking in Week 11. I see a close walk-off win for Edmonton.
Pick: Elks moneyline (-175)
Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Saskatchewan Roughriders
It’s a potential Grey Cup preview in Saskatchewan this week as the East-leading Ti-Cats visit the West-leading Roughriders.
Hamilton’s offensive has been electric all season, led by Most Outstanding Player-favourite Bo Levi Mitchell. The two-time MOP winner leads the CFL in both passing yards and passing TDs by a hefty margin and he’s a key reason why the Ti-Cats are the only team in the CFL averaging over 30 ppg.
Saskatchewan is a scary team this week as they come in rested off a bye after dismantling Montreal 34-6 in Week 9. The Riders’ offence ranks in the top half of the CFL in passing and rushing, while the defence ranks second in yards allowed. Top to bottom, this is the most complete team in the league.
This should be a treat regardless of who wins, but I lean Riders. They’re rested, at home and I believe their defence can do enough to slow down Mitchell and earn a league-best eighth win.
Pick: Roughriders -3
Montreal Alouettes at BC Lions
Montreal and BC have each been inconsistent this season, with the 5-4 Als coming off a loss and the 4-5 Lions coming off a win.
With Davis Alexander and now McLeod Bethel-Thompson on the six-game injured list, Montreal is in serious trouble at quarterback. The Alouettes are forced to rely on Caleb Evans and the recently-signed Cameron Dukes under centre, so don’t expect the team to put up massive offensive numbers.
The Lions are riding a lot of momentum after their overtime victory in Hamilton last week, led by Nathan Rourke, who threw for over 400 yards. Rourke is averaging almost 350 passing yards in each of his last five games, which will be put to the test against a Montreal defence that ranks second against the pass.
BC is favoured by almost a touchdown, which could be a tall task against one of the league’s best defences. While I think the Lions win, I’m not confident they cover and it’s not worth it for me to take them on the moneyline. The Under is the play in this game.
Pick: Under 51.5 (-110)
