Redblacks at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 34, Redblacks 25

Moneyline

The Redblacks lost their last 5 road games and finished 2-7 away from home, including a 7-point loss to Toronto. They lost 5 of their last 6 games, averaging 18.4 points during the 5-game skid.

The Argonauts (-300) closed the season winning 4 of 6 games and scoring 30 or more points in 5 of their final 6.

They have beaten Ottawa in 6 of the last 7 meetings.

Expect the Argonauts to advance, but -300 odds are too expensive to consider as a single bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Argonauts beat the Redblacks by 7 points at home 2 weeks ago. They covered the spread in 8 of their 10 wins.

They are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings with Ottawa.

The Redblacks did not cover the spread in a loss this season.

BET ARGONAUTS -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over hit in both meetings this season with totals of 68 and 69 points.

Four of the last 5 games for Toronto had totals higher than 51, and Ottawa’s last 2 games did as well.

BET OVER 51.5 (-115).

Analyzing Saturday’s Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts Week 20 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Redblacks at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 23, Redblacks 17

Moneyline

The Redblacks’ only win in their last 6 games was against the Argonauts Sept. 7. Since then, they have not scored more than 21 points and have averaged 15.3 points per game.

Before their 14-11 win last week, the Argonauts had scored 31-plus points in 3 straight games. Their offense should be too much for Ottawa.

The home team should win, but betting the moneyline at -225 isn’t good in terms of value.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Argonauts have covered the spread in 7 of their 9 wins this season.

Ottawa has not covered the spread in a loss this season.

BET ARGONAUTS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Ottawa’s last 3 games have not reached 50 points. Toronto’s game last week also did not.

Their Sept. 7 meeting had the Over cash in with 68 total points, but Ottawa has been struggling to score points over the last month.

BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Analyzing Saturday’s Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts Week 19 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[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).

Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts Week 10 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

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.
