The Argos are at the bottom of the CFL standings with a 4-8 record so it's a bit strange to see them laying 3.5 points here. Especially since they're facing an Elks squad that is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games. The Elks offense has become far more efficient since Cody Fajardo took over at QB and the defense has also played significantly better since their bye in Week 7. Meanwhile, Toronto's aerial attack has been terrific, led by Nick Arbuckle, but that's the only strength of this team. The Argos have arguably the worst offensive line, rushing attack, pass defense, and kick coverage unit in the CFL.

On the season, Toronto is now averaging a league-leading 30.3 points per game, while Edmonton has scored 28+ points in three of its last four games with Cody Fajardo under center. These two teams last clashed in Week 11, with Edmonton prevailing 28-20, though the score undersold how potent each offence was. Both teams combined for 784 net yards but went just 3-for-9 in the red zone, leaving plenty of points on the board. Expect statistical correction this time around, as I’m banking on a high-scoring affair from the jump.

The Riders lead the CFL in sacks (34), while ranking second in ppg allowed (21.5) and yards per play allowed (6.38). They should shut down an Alouettes offense that has struggled since losing starting QB Davis Alexander to a hip injury. The Als have averaged just 13.6 ppg on 4.83 yards per play over their last five games. Montreal will start No. 2 pivot McLeod Bethel-Thompson who is averaging 6.3 yards per pass attempt with four TDs and five picks. He'll have a tough time against a Riders stop unit that brings a ton of pressure and ranks second in the league in takeaways. On defense, Montreal has been solid, ranking second in the league in sacks (27) and yards allowed per pass (8.12). That stingy defense will do it's part to slow down an explosive Roughriders attack.
