Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Betting Pick and Prediction
Toronto has been blowing by all of its opponents this season. Save for one slip-up against Calgary, and it’s hard to believe that many teams have the firepower to slow down the Argonauts.
Winnipeg is one of those teams, though, that can give the Argonauts a hard time if they play mistake-free football. With this game being in Winnipeg, the Blue Bombers should cover the spread and will be a threat to win outright.
For the total, this may be a game where the Blue Bombers play a little more conservatively. Toronto has shown time and time again that it is willing to be dragged into a firefight.
Winnipeg won’t want to play into the Argonats’ hands. This game should find a way under the total.
