Toronto Argonauts vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers Preview & Picks

Winnipeg are tipped to cover as they win the Grey Cup for the first time since 2021.

The Blue Bombers have been on an outstanding run of form since the start of August.

This tough defense can now shut down a Toronto offense led by a backup quarterback.

Toronto Argonauts Form

Toronto booked their place in the Grey Cup by winning 12 of the 20 games they have played this season.

A three-game win streak late in the regular season proved to be crucial as they finished second in the East Division with a 10-8 record.

They then won a high-scoring showdown with Ottawa in the East Semi-Finals, beating the Redblacks 58-28.

That set up a meeting with Montreal in the East Final, and despite being underdogs going into the game, Toronto beat the defending champions, 30-28.

It was not all good news for the Argonauts however, as they lost starting quarterback Chad Kelly to a broken ankle during the game.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg overcame a miserable start to the season by winning 10 times in their last 11 games to seal another trip to the Grey Cup.

The Blue Bombers have been a Grey Cup fixture in recent years, but their playoff hopes took a huge hit as they lost their first four games and six of the first eight.

They sparked a spectacular turnaround at the start of August though, beating the BC Lions 25-0 to kick-start an eight-game win streak.

Winnipeg’s run was ended by a 14-11 loss to Grey Cup opponents Toronto, but they bounced back immediately to close out the regular season with a 28-27 win over Montreal.

The Blue Bombers’ 11-7 regular-season record earned them a playoff bye, and when they returned to action last week they beat Saskatchewan 38-22 in the West Final.

Verdict

TOR Argonauts v WIN Blue Bombers

Toronto pulled off an upset in the semi-finals, but losing Chad Kelly is a huge blow.

Winnipeg have been red hot for months and boast the league’s best defense, so we are expecting a double-digit win for them here.
