At the beginning of the season, there were hopes that the Toronto Argonauts could rally for a playoff challenge. But Toronto has stumbled out of the gate. They own a losing record on the field and at the betting window. The Argonauts have some of the worst betting on CFL metrics in the league. There is no identifiable team strength and concerns about a potentially lost season. By contrast, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are a serious Grey Cup contender. Saskatchewan is tough on both sides of the line and can win by multiple methods.
