Randy’s Pick
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are arguably the best team in the league when you consider the balance of offense and defense, they’re at home, and they’ve had an extra week to prepare for this game. I get being favored. However, we’re getting over a full touchdown with a Toronto side that’s lost just once this season. The Toronto Argonauts are first in scoring offense and second in scoring defense, and they haven’t lost since August 4. I would think the Argos would be getting more respect than this. Give me the points with the road dog.
