The under is 14-6 in Lions last 20 games overall. The over is 5-0 in Argonauts last 5 games overall. The Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The BC Lions look like a team that’s ready for the season to end, as the offense is doing nothing, and they’ve now lost four straight. The Toronto Argonauts have struggles of their own, but they’ve actually had success at home this season, where they’re 4-0 SU and have covered numbers as well. BC is really poor defensively, and Toronto has the second best passing offense in the league. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Argos at home.
