Will the Argonauts win another game this season? The chances don’t appear to be too good in Week 18 with Toronto traveling to Calgary to take on the league leading Stampeders in the second game of a CFL double header on Friday night. The linesmaker opened this game with the Stamps as -18 favorite, but the line has since dropped to -16.5. The over/under line opened on the odds board at 52.5, but some downward pressure has this line as low as 51.5 at some sportsbooks.
If Calgary puts forth a minimal effort to win this game, we are probably looking another Toronto loss both SU and ATS after going just 1-9 each way in its last 10 games. Last week’s 29-11 loss to Saskatchewan in a game that closed as a PICK dropped the Argonauts to 5-11 on the year (SU and ATS). Their offense has basically ground to a halt in the absence of Ricky Ray at quarterback with an average of just 22.1 points a game. Defensively, they have allowed an average of 31 points this season.
The Stampeders could probably rest their starters on both sides of the ball and still win this game. At 14-1-1 on the year they have long since locked up the top seed in the playoffs and you would have to go all the way back to Week 1 to find that last time they lost a game SU.
