While the Ottawa Redblacks remain winless, Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts have found some traction as they host their Ontario counterparts on Saturday, Sept. 12.
My Redblacks vs. Argonauts predictions and CFL picks expect the Boatmen to pull away at BMO Field, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on TSN.
Who will win Redblacks vs Argonauts: Argonauts -10.5 (-110)
Despite a rocky start to the season, the Toronto Argonauts have rattled off wins in four of their last six games, with one of the losses coming by only four points against the defending champion Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Toronto quarterback Chad Kelly has been airing it out over this stretch, with the former Mississippi product boasting a 71.5% completion rate, as well as three passing touchdowns in each of his last three starts.
Kelly should have no problem picking apart an Ottawa Redblacks defence that has surrendered a league-worst 118.4 passer rating while also allowing second-down conversions at a 57.9% clip.
Despite Ottawa facing lofty spreads this year, the Redblacks are just 3-8 ATS on the season and have lost by 12+ points in five consecutive contests.
The Argos are playable to -12.5.

Redblacks vs Argonauts total prediction: Over 61.5 (-112)
The Over is 9-1 in the last 10 matchups between these two teams, and the Argos' aerial attack will contribute to another high-scoring affair. No team has attempted more passes this season, while Ottawa is allowing a league-high 37.5 points per game.
Toronto's D has also been susceptible to "big plays" (which include runs of 20+ yards and passes of 30+ yards), allowing 47 this season. I expect Ottawa's offence to become aggressive once the Argos build a double-digit lead.
COVERS INTEL: Ottawa ranks dead last in the CFL with a -23 turnover ratio, and by a wide margin, with B.C. second worst at -6.Redblacks vs Argonauts same-game parlay
Toronto's pass rush has wreaked havoc this season, boasting a league-leading 29 sacks, and I expect it to pressure Redblacks QB Jake Maier into more turnovers, as he enters Week 15 with a 14:14 TD-INT ratio.
This has all the makings of a lopsided Toronto win, and a high-scoring one at that, as Over 61.5 has cashed in two of Toronto's last three games and three of Ottawa's last four.
