Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto Argonauts at Ottawa Redblacks odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (6-5) and Ottawa Redblacks (7-3-1) meet Saturday for a Week 14 matchup at TD Place Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Redblacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts suffered a 31-28 loss as 6-point favorites at the Hamilton last time out (Sept. 2), snapping a modest 2-game win streak. Despite the recent success, Toronto is 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 games, and 3-7 ATS across the previous 10 outings. The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 contests.

The Redblacks suffered a 38-12 setback as 3-point underdogs against the BC Lions Aug. 31 in a neutral-site game at Royal Athletic Park. That snapped a 6-game non-losing streak — they were 5-0-1 straight-up (SU) and 5-1 ATS before the 26-point loss. The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 6 outings.

This is the 1st meeting this season between these provincial rivals. Toronto has dominated the series lately, winning 5 in a row, and 9 of the past 10 outings. The Argos are also 5-0 ATS in the past 5 outings, and 8-2 ATS in the 10-game span, which dates back to 2019. The Over has connected in 4 straight meetings, too.

Argonauts at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Redblacks 29, Argonauts 25

Moneyline

OTTAWA (-110) is a strong play in the nation’s capital. While Toronto has dominated the series of late, this might be the best Redblacks team in the past few years.

This would be a slam-dunk play if not for a complete disappearing act by Ottawa last week against BC in the second end of a back-to-back set.

However, Toronto has dropped 3 in a row on the road, while going 1-4 SU away from home this season, too.

Against the spread

BACKING OTTAWA -1.5 (+100) at even-money is an even better play than the moneyline, unless you strongly believe Toronto +1.5 (-120) is going to win by just a single point.

The Redblacks are 5-2 ATS in the past 7 games. At home, they’re 5-1 ATS this season. BET OTTAWA -1.5 (+100) and feel confident doing so.

So we don’t bet double up on Ottawa, divvy up 1½ units between the Redblacks moneyline and their spread.

Over/Under

OVER 51.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has hit in 2 of the past 3 games for the Redblacks, while the total has gone high in 3 of the previous 4 outings for the Argos. And, again, the Over is 4-0 in the past 4 meetings in this series.

Toronto Argonauts at Ottawa Redblacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto Argonauts at Ottawa Redblacks Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (15-2) and Ottawa Redblacks (4-13) meet Saturday. Kickoff from TD Place is at 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Redblacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The 1st-place Argonauts failed to cover the spread as 9-point favorites in a 29-26 win at the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the Over (50.5) hit last Saturday. Toronto can set a franchise record for wins in a season with a victory at Ottawa.

The Redblacks failed to cover as 9-point underdogs with a 40-27 loss at the Argonauts as the Over (49) cashed Oct. 14 before their bye last week. Ottawa will miss the playoffs for a 4th straight year.

Argonauts at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 27, Redblacks 20

Moneyline

Ottawa only has 1 win in its last 11 games.

Toronto has only 1 loss in its last 10.

The Argonauts won 44-31 as 10-point home favorites in the 1st head-to-head meeting this season Aug. 13, in addition to their double-digit win Oct. 14.

BET ARGONAUTS (-115).

Against the spread

All of the Argonauts’ wins this season have been by 3 or more points.

Twelve of the Redblacks’ 13 losses have been by 2 or more points.

Toronto is 12-5 ATS overall, while Ottawa is 6-11 ATS.

With such a small spread, the payout is almost the same as betting the moneyline, only with the moneyline you don’t run the risk of the loss on a 1-point win.

PASS.

Over/Under

Two of the last 3 games for Ottawa have failed to reach 50 total points after 6 of the previous 7 did.

Only 3 of the last 7 for the Argonauts have had a total reach 50 points, although the last 3 meetings between the teams have had totals of at least 60.

As Toronto looks ahead to the postseason, having locked up a spot in the Eastern Final, this likely will turn into a game in which they coast in the final half.

BET UNDER 49.5 (-115).
