The over is 5-1 in Argonauts last 6 Monday games. The under is 4-0 in Tiger-Cats last 4 home games. The Argonauts are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats still have issues finishing drives offensively, and they’re a well below average defensive team. To make matters worse, the Tiger-Cats have already lost to the Argonauts by double digits twice this season. The Toronto Argonauts are arguably the best team in the league with the top scoring offense and the top rush defense, and they’ve covered numbers left and right dating back to last season. Thick line for a road team, but I’m siding with the Argos.
