Argonauts vs. Roughriders Betting Preview
The big story in this game is the Roughriders’ battle with COVID, as the team announced that 10 players were in various stages of COVID-19 protocol Wednesday. The team canceled Wednesday’s practice and there’s no word on the rest of the week.
The Argonauts defeated the Roughriders last week in unlikely fashion, returning an interception for a touchdown with 2:32 remaining, as Saskatchewan was trying to run out the clock. The Roughriders’ Cody Fajardo threw for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns but he was picked off three times in the game. Saskatchewan had a slight yardage advantage but was -2 in the turnover department.
The teams combined for 285 penalty yards in what was a bit of a sloppy game. The Roughriders are No. 2 in the league in rushing the ball, yet they got away from the run last week despite having success. Saskatchewan ran 15 times for 97 yards.
The Argonauts don’t run the ball nearly as well and Saskatchewan has the best rush defense in the league, so it will again fall to Mcleod Bethel-Thompson, who was solid against Saskatchewan last week.

Argonauts vs. Roughriders Pick & Prediction
The line on this game has moved a couple of points and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it drop even more due to Saskatchewan’s COVID issues. So far, there has been no talk of postponing the game, although with COVID anything can happen and happen quickly.
This is a quick revenge spot for Saskatchewan, who is a good team at home, going 3-0 straight-up and against the spread so far. But hard to back the Roughriders with everything else going on and a little surprised Saskatchewan is still favored by 3 in what should be another close game.
CFL Prediction: Toronto +3
