The Toronto Argonauts, fresh off a big win against the West-leading Edmonton Elks, will visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday, Sept. 24.

My Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers predictions expect Toronto to build on their momentum in this one as narrow favorites in the CFL odds.

Read on for my free CFL picks for Week 17.

Who will win Argonauts vs Blue Bombers: Argonauts moneyline

The Toronto Argonauts are winners of three straight and four of their last five, notably ending the Elks' own four-game run last Saturday, so this is playable to -125.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have won two of their last three but will be without Zach Collaros at QB this week.

Toronto has over 500 more passing yards than any other team, and QB Chad Kelly could very well eclipse 5,000 passing yards for the first time in his career.

Perhaps no team is as hot as the Argos are right now.

Argonauts vs Blue Bombers total prediction: Under 58.5

I'd play this confidently to -125.

These teams went Under their 59.5-point line in July, and their previous highest line in their last 10 meetings was 50.5. They've still played to the Under in four of their last six encounters.

I'm particularly confident about the Under here with the Bombers pivoting to Dru Brown. He has a 5:5 TD/INT ratio in four starts this year.

Toronto has played to the Under in three of four (with their lone Over cashing by one point), while Winnipeg has played to the Under in three of five.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Kelly is averaging 387.8 passing yards/game over the last month.

Argonauts vs Blue Bombers same-game parlay

The Argos are averaging 30 points per game over their last five and have limited opponents to 28 or less in each of those games.

They've also played to an average total of 40.6 over their last five, while the Bombers' last five average total comes to an even 50. Both teams have been playing lower-scoring games in the last month or two, but it's the Argos who have been notably hotter and don't have their backup in at QB.
