It’s paramount that bettors know how many downs are in the CFL before placing any wagers on BetMGM’s CFL betting lines.
Does the CFL Have 3 or 4 Downs?
The CFL grants teams three downs to gain 10 yards.
This is a significant difference between the CFL and the NFL, where teams have four downs.
Why Are There Only 3 Downs in the CFL?
The CFL plays only three downs to encourage a more pass-heavy, aggressive game.
American football shifted from three to four downs in 1912, but the CFL has persevered with three downs and a longer, wider field.
Do CFL Teams Get a Fourth Down?
No, CFL teams have only three downs to gain 10 yards.
This results in offences being more aggressive and leaning more heavily on the passing game.
