Randy’s Pick
Massive number for the Toronto Argonauts on the road with the playoffs around the corner, but this is an indication of just how bad the Roughriders are. Saskatchewan has not only lost 6 straight games, but it’s not covering numbers despite being a big underdog each week. The Argonauts are arguably the best team in the league, with the best scoring offense and second best scoring defense. I have no choice but to lay the chalk with the Roughriders in their current form.
