The Ottawa Redblacks (3-5) travel to meet the Toronto Argonauts (6-1) Sunday in Week 10 CFL action. Kickoff from BMO Field is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.
The Redblacks were tripped up 26-24 in Week 9 at the Saskatchewan Roughriders, failing to cover as 2.5-point favorites as the Over (44.5) connected. Ottawa has dropped back-to-back games for the first time since Weeks 1-2. The Redblacks are just 3-5 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS).
The Over has hit in 3 of Ottawa’s past 4 outings after the Under cashed in its first 4 outings.
The Argonauts dropped their first game of the season in Week 9, falling 20-7 at the Calgary Stampeders last week. It was also Toronto’s first non-cover after opening 6-0 ATS. The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for Toronto as it has coughed up just 16.0 points per game (PPG) in the past 3 contests.
The road team has won 4 straight meetings in this series while cashing in each of the past 3 against the number. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 meetings, too.

Redblacks at Argonauts picks and predictions
Prediction
Argonauts 32, Redblacks 18
Moneyline
The Argonauts (-450) will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Even including Toronto straight up as part of a multi-team parlay would suck all of the value out of your ticket.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The Redblacks +10 (-110) are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 against winning teams and have failed to cash in the past 4 against teams from the East Division. In addition, the Redblacks are just 2-6 ATS in the past 8 tries against the ARGONAUTS -10 (-110), while going 1-4 ATS in the past 5 trips to T-Dot.
On the flip side, Toronto has cashed in 4 in a row at home and is 8-1 ATS in the past 9 games dating back to last season. The Argos are going to be hopping mad after getting embarrassed in Calgary last week, and Ottawa is going to be the whipping post.

Over/Under
OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly.
The Under has cashed in 4 in a row for Ottawa against East Division teams and cashed in 6 of its last 7 outings in August. However, it’s all about the Over for Toronto, going 14-5 in the past 19 games following a straight-up loss.
The Redblacks rank dead-last in the CFL, allowing 314.6 passing yards per game and coughing up 23.0 PPG. The Argos should take it to them.
