Friday belongs to the CFL, with Toronto in Ottawa and a West Division showdown in Edmonton, before the CPL playoff race takes over late on the West Coast. The price that stands out is Winnipeg +3.5 at 1.94 at Tonybet, in a matchup whose last meeting was decided by three points. Prices compare 20Bet, Granawin, Tonybet, 22Bet, BetLabel, 1xBet and 29Black, and were collected late Thursday night. All times ET.

Toronto (9-7) has already clinched a playoff spot and second place in the East, and it heads to TD Place for a 7 p.m. kickoff against an Ottawa team that is 0-16. The Redblacks hand rookie quarterback Bryson Barnes his first CFL start.
The Argonauts won both earlier meetings, 44-24 in Ottawa in June and 26-23 at home in September. They are also coming off a bye after a 24-17 loss to BC on Oct. 3, when Chad Kelly was a late scratch with a right-hand injury. Kelly took most of the first-team reps at practice this week.
Tonybet deals Toronto -12.5 (1.90) and Ottawa +12.5 (1.87), and 29Black has the total at 63 (over 1.87, under 1.86).
Bet to consider: Argonauts -11.5 at 1.91 at 1xBet. The moneyline at 1.17 is not a serious option, and the spread has climbed two points since Tuesday, so there is no edge in waiting. A rookie quarterback making his debut against a playoff team is the reason to lay it. The risk is the back door: Toronto has nothing left to chase in the standings, and a late Ottawa score inside the number is very possible.
BET ARGONAUTS VS REDBLACKS AT 1XBETBlue Bombers Vs Elks Odds: Spread, Moneyline And Total
Edmonton is 12-4 and first in the West heading into a 9:30 p.m. home game at Commonwealth Stadium. Winnipeg is 8-8, level on points with Saskatchewan and Calgary, and clinches a West playoff spot by winning its last two games. Zach Collaros returned from injury last week and threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-28 win over Calgary.
The Elks won both meetings this season, 23-18 in Winnipeg and 22-19 at home. Eight points of total margin across two games is the whole case for the Blue Bombers with a field goal and a hook.
29Black has the total at 56 (over 1.85, under 1.88).
Bet to consider: Blue Bombers +3.5 at 1.94 at Tonybet. Winnipeg has the more urgent reason to win, its quarterback just put up 349 yards, and both meetings were one-score games. Edmonton at home is still the deserved favourite; the value is in the points, not in the 2.60 moneyline at 1xBet.
Vancouver FC Vs HFX Wanderers Odds: Moneyline, Draw And Total
This is the CPL game of the night. Vancouver FC sits fourth with 34 points from 26 games and can clinch its first playoff berth with a win if FC Supra du Québec drops points earlier in the evening. Halifax, on 28 points, has to win or it is eliminated. Kickoff is 10 p.m. at Langley Events Centre.
Halifax has won all three meetings this season, each by 1-0, and plays without the suspended Lorenzo Callegari.
Bet to consider: Under 3 goals at 1.90 at Tonybet. Three 1-0 games say this matchup is tight and cagey, and on that line a 2-1 still wins and an exact three goals only returns the stake. The risk is game state: if Halifax falls behind, it has to throw bodies forward, and the goals can come quickly at both ends. I would leave the 1X2 alone here.
BET VANCOUVER FC VS HFX WANDERERS AT TONYBETRays Vs Guardians ALCS Game 4 Odds: Run Line And Total
Cleveland leads the ALCS 2-1 after a 3-2 win in Game 3 at Progressive Field, where Petey Halpin hit a go-ahead two-run homer and the Rays struck out 13 times. The scores so far are 7-3 Cleveland, 3-1 Tampa Bay and 3-2 Cleveland. First pitch is 6 p.m., with rain in the forecast after weather already moved Game 3 to the afternoon.
Tampa Bay won 98 games and owned the American League’s best record, but trails the 85-77 Guardians in this series. Nick Martinez starts for the Rays, and Cleveland is expected to cover the game with its bullpen.
Tonybet is the only one of these books with a moneyline, at 1.89 Cleveland and 1.88 Tampa Bay. On the run line, Cleveland +1.5 pays 1.57 at 1xBet, ahead of 1.52 at 22Bet and BetLabel. The total is 6.5, with both sides at 1.96 at 1xBet, 1.90 at BetLabel and 22Bet, and the under at 1.88 at Tonybet.
Bet to consider: Under 6.5 at 1.96 at 1xBet. Two of the three games finished with five runs or fewer, and strikeouts have piled up. The main risk is a short bullpen day going wrong for Cleveland in the middle innings.
Bruins Vs Ducks Odds: Moneyline, Puck Line And Total
Boston is 5-2-0 and has won three straight going into a 10 p.m. start at Honda Center. Anaheim is 4-2-0 and coming off a loss. The Ducks were favourites earlier in the week before the market swung to Boston.
Granawin and 20Bet have the total at 6.5 (over 2.02, under 1.81), while 1xBet sets it at 5.5 (over 1.72, under 2.22) and BetLabel and 22Bet at 5.5 (over 1.69, under 2.17).
Bet to consider: Ducks moneyline at 1.98 at 1xBet, for small stakes. The swing toward Boston looks like an overreaction, and the home side at almost even money is the better side of a coin flip.
BET BRUINS VS DUCKS AT 22BETLine Moves To Watch
Bruins at Ducks: 1xBet had Anaheim at 1.75 and Boston at 2.18 on Wednesday. It is now 1.98 Ducks and 1.91 Bruins, and BetLabel and 22Bet moved the Ducks from 1.71 to 1.94.
Blue Bombers at Elks: Edmonton opened at 1.38 at 1xBet on Tuesday and now sits at 1.53, with Winnipeg moving from 2.80 to 2.60. The early price on the Elks was too short and the market has corrected.
Argonauts at Redblacks: the Toronto spread was -9.5 at 1xBet and 22Bet on Tuesday night and is now -11.5. HFX Wanderers at Vancouver FC: Halifax has come in from 3.35 to 2.90 at 1xBet and 22Bet since Tuesday.
More Games On The Board
Supra sits two points below the CPL playoff line and needs a win, which makes 1.49 at Tonybet a fair price rather than a generous one. In Purdue vs. Washington, Huskies quarterback Demond Williams Jr. is unlikely to play after getting hurt against Iowa, and the -3.5 line has barely moved.
