Toronto Argonauts vs Edmonton Eskimos Match Prediction

The Edmonton Eskimos beat Toronto 26-0 around three weeks back, yet they’ve lost three of their last four on the road and it’s the home team that is won nine of the 10 meetings between these two teams. The Toronto Argonauts simply beat Winnipeg outright as a 14.5-point underdog and has had an additional week to plan for this game. While the game against the Blue Bombers was presumably, even more, a fluke than everything else, there’s value with the rested Toronto Argonauts at home and an a boatload of points.
