The Calgary Stampeders (4-4) and Toronto Argonauts (4-4) wrap up a home-and-home series at BMO Field Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.
The Stampeders covered the spread as 3-point home favorites in a 27-23 win over the Argonauts Sunday with the Over (49.5) barely hitting. Calgary outscored Toronto 21-0 in the 4th quarter to cover for the 5th time in 6 games.
The Argonauts have lost 2 of their last 3 games, but are 3-1 at home this season. QB Nick Arbuckle will start Friday, as QB Cameron Dukes (leg) is listed as a game-time decision and QB Chad Kelly (suspension) remains ineligible.

Stampeders at Argonauts picks and predictions
Prediction
Stampeders 24, Argonauts 20
Moneyline
CALGARY (+110) is the safer bet — despite being disrespected by the market — as the Argonauts are now down to their 3rd-string QB. Arbuckle has been serviceable this season in relief (1 TD, 1 INT), but threw 11 TDs and 24 INTs in 42 games from 2021-2023.
The Argonauts are 3-1 straight up (SU) and 2-2 ATS at home. However, they likely would’ve been 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS if the Winnipeg Blue Bombers didn’t aggressively elect to go for it — and not covert — on a late 3rd down in Week 8.
BET STAMPEDERS (+110).

Against the spread
The Stampeders should cover +1.5 (-105), but the ML at plus money is more attractive, especially if Dukes is announced out before kickoff.
PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.
Over/Under
The Under is 2-1 in the Argonauts’ last 3 games, and the Stampeders had to put up 21 points in the 4th quarter for it to not hit in Week 9. With Arbuckle starting Friday, don’t expect Toronto to be better than it has been over the last 3 weeks, averaging just 21 points per game.
BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).
