Pound the Eskies -2.5/3 over the Boatmen. Argos out of sorts both offensively and defensively at the moment. Edmonton is an improved team from last year (even last year they weren't as bad as their record but they got no breaks) and are coming off a very significant win last week. The clutch late TD will give Edmonton a morale boost and a real belief they can do good things this year. Just don't see Toronto, in their current state, stopping the good energy Edmonton is carrying.
Toronto will miss corner Middlebrooks and WR Bethel Johnson. With no running game to speak of the loss of Johnson will hurt this Argo offense which is already struggling to move the ball consistently.
other notes;
-Edmonton kicker Noel Prefontaine, who was traded by Toronto this past offseason, was not impressed with the way he was dealt surprisingly and will be looking to stick it to his former team.
-despite losing four straight to Toronto Edmonton has gained more yards and had more first downs than Toronto in those games.
Edmonton 28-20
