With the CFL season entering the stretch run, Week 13 offers plenty of intriguing opportunities for bettors looking to target the end zone. Our CFL Week 13 anytime touchdown scorers feature a mix of high-volume stars, explosive receivers and running backs in favourable matchups.
Tyson Philpot (-165)
Philpot is our top touchdown candidate of the week. He has been nearly unstoppable lately, scoring five touchdowns over his last two games. He also leads the CFL with eight receiving touchdowns after his two-score performance against Ottawa in Week 12.
The bigger reason to like him is his connection with quarterback Davis Alexander. Alexander threw two touchdowns to Philpot last week and has now produced multiple touchdown passes in three consecutive games. He also leads the CFL in passing yards and has thrown 18 touchdowns against just two interceptions.
Montreal is also 9-1 and averaging plenty of offensive production, giving Philpot one of the safest touchdown environments on the Week 13 slate.
Key stats & notes:
- The Alouettes are averaging 42.7 points per game over their last three contests.
- Montreal has scored 23 TDs on 61 possessions (37.7%) over its last five games.
- Philpot has five TDs in his last two games.

Justin Mcinnis (-115)
McInnis is our favourite receiver TD play outside of Philpot. He caught five passes for 47 yards against Saskatchewan last week, just two weeks removed from a 159-yard performance with a touchdown against Hamilton.
Yes, McInnis has just one touchdown grab on the season, but he has an incredibly favourable matchup against Ottawa’s porous defence this week. The winless Redblacks are allowing a league-worst 36.8 points per game and an average of 320 yards through the air per contest.
BC is rolling right now, winning four straight games to get back to the .500 mark.
Key stats & notes:
- BC QB Nathan Rourke has passed for 1,026 yards and six touchdowns in the last three games.
- BC is averaging 30.5 points per game over its last four contests.
- The Redblacks are allowing an abysmal 444 total yards per game this season.

Larry Rountree III (+130)
Rountree is a particularly interesting touchdown option because his opportunity should be substantial against Calgary. He scored his first touchdown of the season last week against Toronto, and he should be poised for a huge game against the Stampeders, who will be without starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. due to injury.
Calgary’s run defence is one of the league’s weaker units, while Hamilton is expected to make Rountree a major part of its offensive game plan with starting quaterback Bo Levi Mitchell still sidelined. He already demonstrated his upside earlier this season by rushing for more than 100 yards in Week 2.
There’s also a strong game-script argument. Hamilton is facing a Calgary team that has allowed plenty of production defensively, and Rountree’s combination of size and goal-line usage gives him multiple paths to a major.
Key stats & notes:
- Calgary is allowing 117.3 rushing yards per game (third worst in the CFL).
- Rountree III had 12 carries for 63 yards (average of 5.3 yards per carry) in Week 9 vs. Calgary.
