Stampeders vs Argonauts Prediction 

Calgary comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak and they have scored 30+ points in five straight. The Stampeders continue to put up a ton of points, but they also allow a lot of points on defense. Toronto snapped their losing streak in their last game, but they have scored 26 or fewer in three straight. The Argonauts are finally back at home for this matchup, but I think the Calgary offense will be too much. Take the Stampeders here.
