Toronto Argonauts at Calgary Stampeders Predictions & Picks

Toronto are tipped to cover as a slight betting underdog in Calgary.

The return of Chad Kelly has been a huge boost to the Argonauts this season – he has the offense firing and this Stampeders team has given up a bunch of points already.

  • Toronto Argonauts are 2-0-0 ATS in their last 2 games
  • Calgary Stampeders are 0-2 at home this season
  • Calgary Stampeders are 0-2-0 ATS in their 2 previous home games
  • The Over has cashed in all 6 of the games involving either team

Head To Head

  • Calgary Stampeders lead the all-time series 57-44-1
  • Calgary Stampeders won 44-13 when the two teams last met in October 2025

Toronto Argonauts Form

Toronto head to Calgary having rebounded from a season-opening defeat with back-to-back wins.

The Argonauts struggled massively in their defence of the Grey Cup last season, but Chad Kelly – back from a season on the sidelines – has them headed in the right direction in 2026.

Having sat out Week 1 on a bye, they made a losing start to the season as they were beaten 37-30 in Montreal.

Toronto issued an immediate response though, as they travelled to Ottawa to take down the Redblacks, 44-24.

The Argonauts then made it back-to-back wins last weekend as they beat defending champions Saskatchewan, 40-34, in their first ‘home’ game of the season.

Calgary Stampeders Form

Calgary return home looking to follow up last week’s victory on the road – their first win of the season.

The Stampeders opened the season with home games either side of an early bye, but they failed to make the most of that favorable scheduling.

They kicked off the campaign with a narrow defeat to Winnipeg, falling 30-28 to the Blue Bombers.

Calgary then went on a bye, before returning to action with a 40-37 overtime defeat at home to defending champions Saskatchewan.

The Stampeders were able to avoid a third straight loss however, as they took down the BC Lions on the road, 41-33.

Verdict

Calgary swept Toronto last season, but Chad Kelly had no say in either matchup.

The Argonauts quarterback has shown little sign of rust in his return to action, and with the offense firing we like Toronto with the free points against a struggling Stampeders defense.
