Toronto Argonauts vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders Betting Picks
This is an underdog or pass spot. Toronto may rest some players because this game doesn’t mean much for the Argonauts in the CFL standings. Saskatchewan will be motivated to pressure Calgary to spring two upsets to get into the playoffs.
This game seems poised to go over the total. Toronto’s offense has been the most effective in the league for much of the season. The Argonauts also can keep scoring, even when quarterback Chad Kelly is banged up.
Regarding the spread, the Roughriders will keep this game close. Saskatchewan still doesn’t have its place in the playoffs guaranteed. The Roughriders could still make the playoffs with a loss but would like to go into the playoffs with some momentum.
