BC Lions vs. Toronto Argonauts Betting Preview
People looking at Lions vs Argonauts odds will know that BC is more than equipped to challenge Toronto. The Argonauts will be able to use this game as a bellwether to see which way the league is headed.
BC coming off a big win
The Lions made waves in the CFL standings by beating down Winnipeg last week. BC was dominant on defense, holding the Blue Bombers to 235 yards of offense. Lions vs Argonauts odds show Winnipeg was previously scoring 40 points a game, but BC limited the Blue Bombers to six points.
BC also got a strong performance from quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who passed for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Alexander Hollins was the top receiving, hauling in eight passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. BC may be looking for more consistency in the run game. Taquan Mizzell led the Lions in rushing, gaining 50 yards on ten carries.
When it comes to CFL picks, the Lions have been consistent against the spread this season, putting up a 3-0 record. BC has seen the total go under in all three of its games this season.
Toronto’s defense is concerning
There’s no reason to overreact to one week, but Lions vs Argonauts odds show Toronto struggled to keep Edmonton’s offense out of the endzone. While the Argonauts pulled away in the second half, Edmonton was able to score 31 points.
Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly also needs to prove he can be consistent. Last week, Kelly completed 57 percent of his passes and threw for 264 yards and a touchdown. However, Kelly was intercepted twice.
Toronto is 2-0 against the spread this season. The Argonauts have seen the over going 1-1 in their games so far this season.
BC Lions vs. Toronto Argonauts Betting Picks
This is a game that will likely go under the total. BC has been focused on limiting opponents from putting up points and has surged to a 3-0 record thanks to its success on defense. Last week’s offense output from Toronto may end up being a fluke, as the Argonauts were taking on an Edmonton team that is destined to end up near the league’s basement.
Toronto and BC are both still undefeated. The Argonauts have only played twice this season and are still looking to find their rhythm with Kelly, who is in his first year as a full-time starter in the CFL. Things can change by the end of the season, but BC is the better team right now. Expect the Lions to grab a win.
- Pick 1: Under the total 48.
- Pick 2: BC Lions -167 (ML)
