Toronto are tipped to return to winning ways on Saturday.

The Argonauts’ title defence has not gone to plan, but they have beaten Ottawa on the road this season and despite their poor record they are the better team.

  • Ottawa Redblacks are 2-6 so far this season
  • The Under cashed when the two teams last met on June 29
  • The Under has hit in 5 of Ottawa’s previous 6 games

  • Toronto Argonauts won 29-16 when the two teams last met on June 29

Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa head to Toronto on the back of a much-needed victory that ended a four-game skid and improved their record to 2-6.

The Redblacks opened the season with back-to-back defeats, losing 31-26 in Saskatchewan and 39-18 at home to Montreal.

They rallied to get their first win on the board, beating Calgary 20-12 on the road, but they failed to follow that up over the next several weeks.

Ottawa lost 29-16 at home to Toronto, and then went out on the road to lose 39-33 in Edmonton and 23-20 at Hamilton.

The Redblacks then lost 30-15 at home to Hamilton as their skid reached four games, but they managed to snap that last week as they downed Calgary, 31-11.

Toronto Argonauts Form

Toronto have struggled badly in the first few months of their Grey Cup defence, losing six of their first eight games.

The Argonauts opened the season with a 28-10 loss at Montreal, and then fell to 3-0 as they lost back-to-back home games, 29-19 to Calgary and 39-32 to Saskatchewan.

They finally registered their first win as they beat Ottawa 29-16 on the road, but they failed to back that up.

Toronto went into the bye week on the back of a 51-38 home defeat to Hamilton, and then returned to action with a 26-25 loss in Montreal.

The Argonauts avoided a third straight loss as they beat Winnipeg 31-17, only to lose at the Blue Bombers a week later, 40-31.

Verdict

Toronto have struggled so far this season, but they have pretty much owned Ottawa in recent years.

Therefore we are leaning towards the Argonauts in this matchup.
