Preview and Free Pick for Saturday's CFL match-up

This Saturday’s betting action in the CFL gets underway at 4 p.m. from BMO Field with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers going on the road to face the Toronto Argonauts. Elite-rated VietBet has opened this game a PICK with the total set at 50.5 points.

The Blue Bombers are coming off a 20-17 loss to British Columbia last Saturday as 4.5-point road favorites. The total stayed UNDER 55 points in that game after going OVER in three of their first four contests. Winnipeg is 2-3 straight-up with that latest loss and 3-2 against the spread. It has covered in two of its first three road games this season.

Toronto Argonauts          -2.5 (-110)
Winnipeg Blue Bombers  +2.5 (-110)

Over 52 points (-110)
Under 52 points (-110)

Matt Nichols is back under center for the Blue Bombers after missing the first few games of the season with a knee injury. He put the ball up 28 times last week against the Lions with 17 completions for 214 yards. The rust was still there from the missed playing time with three interceptions. Andrew Harris had a big night running the ball with 139 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 13 carries.

Toronto opened its defense of last season’s Grey Cup title with losses to Saskatchewan on the road and Calgary at home before splitting a home-and-home series against Edmonton. After squeaking past the Eskimos by three points in Game 1 as three-point underdogs at home, the Argonauts lost last week’s matchup 16-15 while covering as heavy 9.5-point road underdogs. The total has stayed UNDER VietBet’s closing line in their first four games.

Ricky Ray is done for the season with a neck injury, so the keys to the offense are in James Franklin’s hand for the time being as the new starting quarterback. He completed 26-of-36 passing attempts in last week’s loss for 296 yards with zero touchdown throws against one interception. The Argonauts really struggled to move the ball on the ground with 50 yards rushing on 19 carries. James Wilder Jr. Gained 26 yards on 12 of those rushing attempts.

I am not sold on either of these teams as legitimate contenders this season, but my lean in this matchup is towards Toronto at home. My ‘best bet’ pick with VietBet is the UNDER on the current total line.
