Lions vs Argonauts Prediction 

Toronto comes into this matchup on a four game winning streak and they continue to play great defense during that span. The Argonauts have allowed 28 or fewer in five straight games, which helps to offset Kelly’s interceptions. BC has won four of their last five games and their defense has also stepped up in recent weeks. The Lions also have a solid QB with Nathan Rourke, but he takes care of the ball much better than Kelly. Chad Kelly is not expected to play in this game due to injury, so I will take BC to cover here.
