Final Thoughts
Saskatchewan enters this matchup with early-season momentum, a more balanced offense, and a strengthened run game featuring AJ Ouellette. Toronto’s offensive strengths are clear, but their quarterback issues and defensive inefficiencies could cost them against a disciplined Riders squad. Despite playing on the road, Saskatchewan looks better equipped to dictate the game and exploit Toronto’s defensive lapses. Backing the Roughriders at -3 offers strong value.
