Randy’s Pick

The Montreal Alouettes are an average at best team that’s having issues finishing games and their defense can’t stop the run. The Alouettes also lost to the Argos week 6 at home by 8 points. The Toronto Argonauts are arguably the best team in the CFL, with the best scoring offense and the best rush defense. At home, it’s hard not to side with Toronto in this spot. I’ll lay the double-digit chalk.
