Point Spread: -4.50 | -115.00 Calgary (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: The 4-1-1 Calgary Stampeders visit the 3-3 Toronto Argonauts at BMO Field on Thursday. Bo Levi Mitchell is completing 63.9 percent of his passes for 1,832 yards with 10 TD passes and three interceptions. He leads an offense that ranks No. 1 in total yards (425.5 per) and is the CFL's highest scoring team (35.5 PPG). That goes perfectly with a defense that leads the CFL in allowing a modest 20.2 PPG. Toronto Argonauts averages 421.7 YPG (second) but yards haven't translated into points, as the Argonauts are averaging only 25.3 PPG (ranks 7th of 9 teams). QB Ricky Ray is completing 69.2 percent of his passes for 2,282 yards with nine TD passes and just three interceptions. Toronto is allowing 27.2 points and 361.3 yards per game.
The pick: The Stampeders are coming off a 60-1 victory over Hamilton and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Toronto. The Argonauts have been very inconsistent in 2017 but they have yet to lose back-to-back games this season. That said, Toronto is a 'money-burners' 21-43 ATS in its last 64 home games. Make Calgary an 8* play.
