My Blue Bombers vs. Argonauts predictions and CFL picks anticipate a tight matchup, with Winnipeg appearing more competitive than its underdog odds suggest.
Who will win Blue Bombers vs Argonauts: Blue Bombers +4.5 (-115)
Toronto won the last meeting 30-28 on Sept. 25.
Both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts finished 9-9, and Toronto is the favorite. However, this matchup tilts more toward Winnipeg than the odds suggest.
The Argos allowed the third-most rushing yards during the regular season — a weakness that Bombers running back Brady Oliveira and his league-leading 1,493 rushing yards can expose.
The Bombers allowed the fewest passing yards in the league this season, which can neutralize the Argos' pass-heavy offense. Toronto finished the season with the second-fewest rushing yards, and its top rusher compiled just 454 yards on the ground.

Blue Bombers vs Argonauts total prediction: Under 57.5 (-110)
Winnipeg went 9-9-0 and Toronto 7-11-0 against the Over/Under, combining for a 16-20-0 mark this season.
Collectively, they've played to the Under in nine of their last 12 games, and three of their last four meetings (including both this season) also went Under.
A strong Bombers passing defense neutralizing a pass-heavy Argos attack could tilt this game toward lower-scoring territory, especially if Winnipeg keeps the ball on the ground often. Winnipeg QB Zach Collaros was also ruled out on Friday.
COVERS INTEL: Brady Oliveira accounted for 81.6% of Winnipeg's rushing yards this season, averaging 6.3 yards per carry and torching the Argos for a season-high 139 rushing yards on Sept. 25.Blue Bombers vs Argonauts same-game parlay
This is a solid matchup for the Blue Bombers, as a tight passing defense can hinder the Argos' biggest strength. Health concerns surrounding Argos QB Chad Kelly further emphasize this. Oliveira, the 2026 rushing yard leader, can take advantage of a subpar rushing defense just as he did on Sept. 25.
The Argos played to the Under in 11 of 18 regular season games and five of their last six, and both head-to-heads this season also went Under.
