Randy’s Pick
This is a lot of points and the Saskatchewan Roughriders aren’t a bad football team, so I did consider siding with the road dog. With that said, the Roughriders haven’t been kind to bettors dating back to last season, covering just 2 of their last 12 games. The Toronto Argonauts are the best team in the league through 5 games, with an elite offense and a defense that’s first against the run. The Argos are also making bettors happy with covers in 16 of their last 23 games. Following trends isn’t always the way to go, but the Argonauts are showing us enough SU and ATS to back until things cool down. I’ll lay the number with the home team.
