The real drama starts in the CFL postseason. This is when “things get real” and where the record you put in the regular season is almost irrelevant. Upsets happen even though historically, the favourites still have a sizable winning percent. But it’s about which teams perform the best as opposed to who are the best teams and personal history and bad blood play a huge role making it ripe for sharp knowledgeable bettors to profit big.

    How To Bet On CFL Playoffs

    The CFL’s postseason feels more like an extension of the regular season as rival teams usually end up facing each other again. The dynamics in this format change the game and regular season records shouldn’t be a factor here. Picking up on recent trends will expose some matchups with an affordable price to back.

    While the higher-seeded teams usually still emerge victorious in the CFL playoffs, simply betting the favourites blindly is asking for trouble. It’s best to do research on the matchups. There will be plenty of data on that throughout the regular season thanks to the small league size of the CFL. Also looking at a favourite’s past playoff track will give insight on a franchise’s attitude towards the postseason.

    It’s mainly coincidental but certain teams have developed a trend of bowing out of the playoffs in specific stages. The Lions for instance are usually one-and-done. The Stampeders habitually go out in the West Finals and the Roughriders either one-and-done or make it all the way to the Grey Cup. Familiarizing yourself with certain trends and cross-referencing it with the team’s overall performance could give you a betting edge.

    Due to the small size of the CFL, it’s routine for teams to play each other repeatedly in the postseason. Picking up on head-to-head history will help you feel out the matchup. The Stampeders as an example are 1-5 against the Roughriders in their last six meetings but are 3-0 against the Lions in their last three meetings. The Argonauts are 2-6 against the Alouettes in their last eight meetings but are 3-0 against west teams in their last three against them.
