The RedBlacks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The Argonauts are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The under is 4-1 in RedBlacks last 5 road games. The over is 4-1 in Argonauts last 5 games overall. The RedBlacks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The Ottawa Redblacks are coming off a nice win over the Edmonton Elks, but it’s going to take more than that to move the needle. Over the last two or three seasons, the Redblacks don’t win over cover games at an alarming rate. The Toronto Argonauts have played their best ball at home this season and they’ve had an extra week to prepare. Also, the Argos have won seven of the last nine meetings against the Redblacks and they’ve covered six of those games overall. I have no choice but to lay the thick line with the Argonauts at home.
