Nothing about the Argos excites us and aside from having a decent looking defense they’ve looked less than ordinary the first four weeks. In fact, the Argos are easily the luckiest 2-2 team ever and could just as easily be 0-4. The 30-22 loss to the Lions on July 15 is an extremely flattering score to the Argos as B.C dominated the first half and should have been up by three TD’s or more. Prior to that, the Argos needed a miracle rally with less than three minutes to go to dispose of Saskatchewan in Toronto and ended up fluking that one out by a single point. The other win came in Calgary in Week 2 by six points and again, the Argos were the second best team on the field that night. Calgary turned the ball over five times including twice inside the Argos 10-yard line. Now the Argos will be traveling to Montreal where they knocked off the Als to win a berth to last year’s Grey Cup final. Line is cheap because the Al’s haven’t looked as sharp as expected, however, unlike the Argos, they’re an offensive juggernaut and could have easily taken the Blue Bombers lightly last week and were looking ahead to this one. The Argos will be without their top receiver tonight in Arland Bruce and they’ve won just once in their past nine trips here. Now they come here with the worst group of talent in years against a revenge motivated Alouettes team that possess far more talent than the Argos and it’s not even close. Argos get exposed tonight for being perhaps the worst team in the East and we plan to take full advantage. Play: Montreal –5½ (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).
