111th Grey Cup: Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Grey Cup odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers meet in the 111th Grey Cup Sunday. Kickoff from BC Place in Vancouver is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network / TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts have won 6 of their last 8 games to get to the Grey Cup, and their 2 losses were by a combined 3 points. They routed the Ottawa Redblacks 58-38 in the East semifinal and then sneaked by the Montreal Alouettes — the winners of last year’s Grey Cup — 30-28 in the East final, pushing as 2-point favorites.

The Blue Bombers are in their fifth consecutive Grey Cup, but have lost the last 2. They began the season 0-4, then 2-6, but have since won 10 of 11 games. They finished at the top of the West division and beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 38-22 in the West final, covering as 3-point favorites.

Winnipeg’s only 2 losses in its last 12 games have been to Toronto, 16-14 in OT in Week 8 and 14-11 in Week 19.

Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 31, Argonauts 19

Moneyline

Toronto will be without Kelly, its starting QB, so QB Nick Arbuckle will get the nod against Blue Bombers QB Zach Collaros, who has been part of 3 Grey Cup championships and has won Most Outstanding Player twice.

But Toronto held Winnipeg to 25 total points in 2 wins this season.

The Argonauts have beaten the Blue Bombers in all 7 Grey Cup matchups historically.

But between Winnipeg’s No. 1 defense and Toronto playing without Kelly, the Blue Bombers should win the Cup.

But -450 odds are not worth betting.

PASS.

Against the spread

Despite the Blue Bombers being heavy favorites, even with Kelly out, Toronto’s defense held the Blue Bombers in check this season. The 2 regular-season meetings were the fewest points that Toronto had allowed to an opponent. But since its 14-11 win at the Blue Bombers Oct. 11, it has allowed 28 or more points in 4 straight games.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The 2 previous matchups combined for 55 total points.

The Over has hit in both of Toronto’s playoff games, as well as in the West final for Winnipeg.

But while Winnipeg will see its offense do well, Toronto will struggle enough against the No. 1 defense in points allowed.

BET UNDER 51.5 (-105).

East final: Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts and the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes meet in the East final Saturday. Kickoff from Percival-Molson Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (CFL+ / TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts are coming off a 58-38 win as 6.5-point favorites over the visiting Ottawa Redblacks in the East semifinal Nov. 2 with the Over (53) hitting. QB Chad Kelly was 18-of-20 passing for 358 yards with 4 TDs while rushing for another.

Toronto went 10-8 in the regular season. Once Kelly rejoined the team in Week 12 — after serving a 9-game suspension — the Argonauts went 5-4 against the spread (ATS) and 6-3 Over/Under (O/U). Kelly finished with 10 passing TDs and 8 INTs in 9 regular-season games.

The Alouettes finished first in the division with a 12-5-1 regular-season record. Before they clinched an opening-round playoff bye in Week 17, they were 8-6 ATS and 6-8 O/U. QB Cody Fajardo threw 16 TDs and 7 INTs in 14 games in the regular season.

The Argonauts went 2-1 straight up/ATS against the Alouettes this season, with the O/U also going 2-1. In the most recent meeting Sept. 28 — after Montreal had already clinched first in the East — Toronto won 37-31 as a 2-point home underdog while the Over (51.5) cashed.

In last year’s East final, Montreal upset Toronto 38-17 as a 10.5-point road underdog with the Over (51.5) hitting. The Alouettes recorded 9 turnovers, including 4 INTs by Kelly.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Argonauts at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 33, Alouettes 27

Moneyline

The Argonauts are 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games, and the 1 loss was a 31-30 setback in OT at the Edmonton Elks Oct. 25 while resting multiple key starters.

The Alouettes have been cruising over the last 4 games, going 1-3 straight up, after clinching first in the East so early into the season. It’ll be too hard for them to ramp up the intensity all of a sudden, especially against an Argos team that they embarrassed in the East final last season.

BET ARGONAUTS (+100).

Against the spread

Taking 2.5 isn’t worth it when you can play the Argonauts straight up at plus money. If this number hits 3 at any point, then that’s a different story.

At 2.5, PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 3 straight Argonauts games, with Toronto putting up 30 or more points in each outing. The Argonauts are 5-1 O/U in their last 6 games and have scored 30 or more in 6 of their last 7.

The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams. With Toronto coming off a 58-point outing in the East semifinal, I want no part of betting the Under in this spot.

BET OVER 52.5 (-110).

East semifinal: Ottawa Redblacks at Toronto Argonauts odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Ottawa Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts open the 2024 CFL playoffs when they meet at BMO Field for the East semifinal Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 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.

Ottawa (9-8-1) ended the regular season with a win after losing 5 straight games. They closed the regular season with a 37-31 home win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as 3-point underdogs Oct. 25.

Toronto (10-8) closed out the regular season with a 31-30 OT loss at the Edmonton Elks as 4.5-point underdogs Oct. 25, snapping a 3-game winning streak.

These teams split their 2 regular-season games, with the home team winning straight up and against the spread (ATS) in each meeting. In their most recent meeting Oct. 19, Toronto covered as a 5.5-point home favorite in a 38-31 win.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

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).

Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Elks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Elks Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (10-7) and Edmonton Elks (6-11) wrap up their regular seasons Friday. Kickoff from Commonwealth Stadium is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (TSN / CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts are coming off a cover as 5.5-point favorites in a 38-31 win over the visiting Ottawa Redblacks Saturday with the Over (50.5) hitting. Toronto clinched 2nd in the East with the victory, and it will host Ottawa in the East Division semifinal Nov. 2.

The Elks won 23-18 as 1.5-point underdogs at the Calgary Stampeders Oct. 12 as the Under (51) cashed. WR Eugene Lewis scored a go-ahead TD with 1:09 remaining on a 10-yard pass from QB Tre Ford (23-of-29, 208 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs).

In a June 22 meeting, the Elks covered as 5.5-point road underdogs in a 39-36 Argonauts win as the Over (49) hit. QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson (28-of-38, 342 yards, 4 TDs) started in the loss, but Ford will be under center for Friday’s regular-season finale.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Argonauts at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 23, Argonauts 20

Moneyline

With the Argonauts having nothing to play for and resting 5 key starters — Kelly, Carey, Hunter, Giffen and Allen — the Elks (-200) will likely win at home in their season finale. However, this line has too much vig to recommend the ML.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread

QB Cameron Dukes will get the start for Toronto. While he’s obviously not as productive as Kelly, he’s still serviceable with 11 total TDs (7 passing, 4 rushing) and 6 INTs on the season. Dukes was the starter in the June 22 meeting between these teams and was 18-of-21 passing for 214 yards with 2 TDs.

The Argonauts resting a few key starters is definitely a concern, but Dukes getting 3.5 points against Edmonton seems like an overreaction to Toronto having already clinched 2nd in the East.

BET ARGONAUTS +3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Elks have scored 24 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Argonauts have allowed 17 or fewer in 2 straight on the road — and they did it against much better competition in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and BC Lions.

In a game that has zero playoff implications, less scoring may be the result with multiple starters on offense sitting out.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Ottawa Redblacks (8-7-1) and Toronto Argonauts (9-4) meet Saturday. Kickoff from BMO Field is scheduled for 3 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 have clinched a playoff berth but have lost 4 games in a row. They suffered a 19-12 loss at the Montreal Alouettes Monday, failing to cover as 4.5-point underdogs.

The Argonauts have also clinched a postseason berth. They have won 2 in a row and 3 of their last 4 games. They beat the Winnipeg Jets 14-11 Oct. 11 as 4-point road underdogs.

In a Sept. 7 meeting, the Redblacks snapped a 5-game head-to-head losing streak with a 41-27 win over the visiting Argonauts, covering as 1-point favorites.

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.

Montreal Alouettes at Toronto Argonauts odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Montreal Alouettes at Toronto Argonauts Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Montreal Alouettes (11-2-1) and Toronto Argonauts (7-7) meet for a Week 17 matchup Saturday at BMO Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The 1st-place Alouettes bounced back from a 19-19 tie against the Calgary Stampeders in Week 15 with a 24-12 road win against the Ottawa Redblacks, covering as 3-point favorites. That halted an 0-3 against-the-spread (ATS) skid. The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings.

The Argonauts suffered a 33-31 loss against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Week 16 as 6.5-point favorites as the Over (52) cashed. The Argos have dropped 3 of the past 4 games, while going 1-4 ATS in the previous 5 outings. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games and 5-2 across the past 7 contests.

These teams have split the season series so far. Montreal won 30-20 at Toronto June 28 as a 3-point favorite as the Under (50.5) cashed, while the Argos picked up a 37-18 road win July 11 at Molson Memorial Stadium, cashing as 7-point underdogs as the Over (49.5) hit.

Alouettes at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 29, Argonauts 25

Moneyline

The ALOUETTES (-130) are a solid play in this game. The road team has won each of the meetings this season, and the visitor is a perfect 4-0 straight up dating back to Sept. 15, 2023.

Montreal comes with a cheap price tag for the No. 1 team in the CFL against a .500 team. Take advantage.

Against the spread

Back the ALOUETTES -1.5 (-110) laying the little bit of points on the road. Montreal is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings with the rival Argonauts +1.5 (-110). And while the Als are just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 games, they’re still an impressive 5-3 ATS across the past 8 outings.

The Argos just cannot seem to get anything going on a consistent basis. They’ve dropped 3 of the past 4 outings, while going 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games. Back the better team, and that’s easily the Als.

Over/Under

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

The Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games for the Argos, going for 27 or more points in 4 in a row and 5 of the past 6 outings. And defensively, Toronto has coughed up 31 or more points in 3 of the past 4 games and 25 or more points in 5 of the previous 7 contests.

For the Alouettes, while the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings, the Over and Under have split 3-3 across the past 6 games. Go lightly on the Over.

The Ti-Cats opened the season 2-9 straight up (SU), and 2-6 against the spread (ATS) in the 1st 8 outings. However, Hamilton has picked up the pace with 2 straight wins, including a 31-28 win over Toronto in The Hammer, while covering a season-high 3 in a row.

The Over has cashed in each of the past 2 wins for Hamilton, too, averaging 34.0 points per game (PPG), while allowing 24.5 PPG. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games, too.

For the Argonauts, they picked up a 33-17 win on the road against the BC Lions as a 4.5-point underdog as the Under (53.5) cashed. The cover snapped an 0-3 ATS skid. The Over is on a 4-2 run in the past 6 contests.

Tiger-Cats at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 30, Tiger-Cats 27

Moneyline

Toronto (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Hamilton (+240) has just 4 victories this season, but 2 of them are against the Argos. While the Tiger-Cats are playing better football lately, and they’ve won each of the meetings with the Argos, BMO Field is a difficult place to win.

PASS.

Against the spread

Play the TIGER-CATS +6.5 (+100) at even-money. Again, the Argonauts -6.5 (-120) have dropped both previous meetings this season, but Toronto is 5-1 SU at home.

It won’t be easy for Hamilton to come up the QEW and get a 3rd straight win in this provincial battle. But, with both games decided by just 3 points, it should be a close win. Take Hamilton and the points, and feel confidently in doing so.

Over/Under

OVER 53.5 (-115) is a worth playing lightly.

The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 6 outings for Toronto, including the Week 13 battle at Tim Horton’s Field between these 2 teams. With a total of 51, Hamilton won 31-28 to go high on the total.

The Over is on a 4-1 run for the Tiger-Cats, too, while going 4-2 in 6 road games this season.

Toronto Argonauts at BC Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Toronto Argonauts at BC Lions odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (6-6) and BC Lions (7-6) meet Friday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (CBSSN/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts have dropped the past 2 games despite a solid offensive performance. Toronto is averaging 27.5 points per game (PPG) in the 2 losses, but it is allowing 36.0 PPG. The Over has easily cashed in both outings.

Toronto has failed to cover the past 3 games, while going a dismal 3-8 against the spread (ATS) in the past 11 outings. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games.

For BC, it is looking to avenge a 35-27 loss in the opener at Toronto when it was a 4-point favorite. The Over (48) comfortably cashed in that game.

After a 5-game losing streak due to a bevy of injuries, the Lions have re-discovered the offense, averaging 37.5 PPG in the past 2 games, while allowing just 17.5 PPG. They’ve covered both outings after an 0-5 ATS skid, while the Over and Under have alternated in the past 4 games.

Argonauts at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Argonauts 23

Moneyline

BC (-225) will set you back more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk and not enough reward for a standalone bet. While it’s not highly recommended, if you folded the Lions into a multi-leg parlay, it isn’t the end of the world, although it does suck a little value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back the LIONS -4.5 (-110) in this revenge game. The Lions were manhandled in Week 1 at Toronto, and they’ll be looking to even the score.

The Lions are getting healthy, and playing well lately, while the Argos have key players littering the injury report.

Over/Under

OVER 52.5 (-110) is a solid play in this Week 15 matchup.

These teams combined for 62 points on a total of 48 in the opener, and plenty of points can be expected in the rematch.

The Over is 2-1 in the past 3 games for BC, while it has scored 27 or more points in 3 straight, while allowing 23 or more points in 5 of the past 7 outings.

For Toronto, it has hit the Over in 2 in a row, and 4 of the past 5 outings, while scoring 23 or more points in 4 of the 5 games, while allowing 25 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings, too.

Toronto Argonauts at Ottawa Redblacks odds, picks and predictions

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 odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:57 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Argonauts -110 (bet $110 to win $100) | Redblacks -110 (bet $110 to win $100)
Against the spread: Argonauts +1.5 (-122) | Redblacks -1.5 (+100)

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 has won 2 in a row and 3 out of its last 4 games. It is coming off a 20-19 home win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders Aug. 22, failing to cover as a 2-point favorite as the Under (50.5) cashed in.

The Tiger-Cats have lost 4 in a row after their only 2 wins of the season. Their last game was Aug. 23, a 26-23 road loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, though they did cover as 10.5-point underdogs as the Under (50) hit.

Argonauts at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 36, Tiger-Cats 24

Moneyline

The Tiger-Cats have given up the most points in the CFL, allowing 32.7 per game. Their only home win this season was over Toronto. But they have lost their last 4 games, allowing opponents to score 34.8 points per game.

The Argonauts (-245) only scored 20 last week, but average 27.9 points per game.

Hamilton’s defense will not be able to slow Toronto enough, but -245 odds aren’t worth a wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Argonauts are 4-6 ATS this season, while the Tiger-Cats are 3-8 ATS.

Hamilton lost last week by only 3 points, but the last 3 losses before that were all by at least 10.

BET ARGONAUTS -4.5 (-122).

Over/Under

Their first meeting had 51 total points.

Three of Toronto’s wins have had more than 52 total points.

Hamilton’s games this season average 58.1 total points.

Toronto’s outings average 52.9 points per game.

BET OVER 52.5 (-110).
