[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Ottawa Redblacks (4-12) and Toronto Argonauts (13-2) meet Saturday at BMO Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Redblacks vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Redblacks failed to cover the spread as 6-point underdogs in a 29-3 loss Monday at the Montreal Alouettes as the Under (45.5) cashed. Ottawa has lost 9 of its last 10 games, going 3-7 against the spread (ATS) over that stretch.

The Argonauts covered as 7.5-point home favorites with a 35-12 win vs. the Edmonton Elks as the Under (50.5) hit Oct. 6. Toronto will rest RB AJ Ouellette Saturday since it has already clinched 1st in the East.

The Argonauts won the 1st meeting this season, covering as 10-point home favorites in a 44-31 victory as the Over (47) hit Aug. 13.

Redblacks at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 24, Redblacks 20

Moneyline

The Argonauts (-400) should hand Ottawa its 10th loss in 11 games, but laying -400 with a team that has already clinched 1st in the East seems a little excessive.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or the total instead.

Against the spread

Toronto is showing that it has little motivation to win by resting its star RB — let alone win by margin. Backup QBs Cameron Dukes and Bryan Scott are both expected to play some snaps, which could help Ottawa get a backdoor cover.

Redblacks LB Jovan Santos-Knox told reporters this week that they’re “going to still finish the season strong and build on to next year. There’s a lot that we can still do in 2 games.”

I’ll take the points with the side that is at least playing for pride, instead of looking ahead to the postseason.

BET REDBLACKS +8.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Ottawa and 4 of the last 5 for Toronto. Ottawa’s defense will be extra motivated after getting blown out in the 1st meeting, and Toronto’s offense should take a step back once Dukes and Scott see the field.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-110).
