Redblacks vs Argonauts Prediction 

Ottawa comes into this matchup winless on the season and they have lost their last five games by margins of 21, 30, 12, 22, and 21 points. The Redblacks have allowed 42+ points in three of their last four games, while they have scored 21 or fewer in four of five. Toronto has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but Kelly has been a very solid quarterback this year. The Argonauts are second in the East and they have scored 33+ points in three of their last five. I know Toronto has some issues with turnovers, but I can’t back Ottawa until I see a more competitive effort. Take Toronto to cover at home in this one.
