The under is 5-2 in Stampeders last 7 Friday games. The Argonauts are 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Toronto Argonauts are winning and covering numbers through 6 games, and they’ve done some of their best work on the road. It’s been the complete opposite for the Calgary Stampeders, who are below average offensively, can’t stop the run defensively and have lost all 3 of their efforts at home. Lot of points for a road team, but there’s not much reason to get behind the Stamps, and there’s even less reasons to fade the Argonauts. Until the form of either team changes, give me the Argos and the chalk.
