Calgary led 24-14 at halftime and 41-25 in the fourth quarter, but they did allow a late touchdown to make it closer than it was.

Argonauts vs Stampeders Prediction

Toronto comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak and they have scored 84 points in those two victories. The Argonauts have a lethal passing attack, but their defense has not been very good. Calgary is just 1-2, but those two losses came by a combined five points and they have scored 37+ points in back to back games. I know both teams have been scoring quite a bit, but this is a very high total and I think we can get a couple of big stops when needed. Take the under here.
