Argonauts vs Redblacks Prediction

Both of these teams come into this matchup looking for their first win of the season, but they both need to be better on defense. Toronto allowed 37 points in their first game, while Ottawa allowed 29 points. I was impressed with Toronto’s offense, as Chad Kelly nearly threw for 450 yards, and I think they will find more success here. Take the Argonauts to get the victory in this game.
