Another Forum Pick Winner Saturday and another overall PERFECT DAY! Now PERFECT since the All Star Break with all my picks here at Pregame! Don't miss Sunday's MLB action as I have THREE Premium Picks going. Let's also hammer out another Forum Pick WINNER with the CFL play detailed below. Good Luck - Nick "The BookieKiller" Parsons
ARGOS As if the ineptitude of their offense wasnt bad enough (due to the quarterback controversy) now the Argonauts have to be concerned about their defense as well. Last season Torontos defense was one of the best in the CFL. However, this season the Argos defense is getting manhandled on a weekly basis. No other CFL team has allowed more overall yardage or more rushing yardage than Toronto. So, why are we suggesting a play ON Toronto this week? Because contrarian handicapping is something that has proven to work time and time again through the years and there is reason to believe that the Argos get back on track at home this week. With regards to the QB battle between Kerry Joseph and backup Michael Bishop it is time to put that to bed. Argos coach Rich Stubler has stated that Joseph is his starting quarterback and he doesnt appear to be wavering on that. Look for his confidence in the ability of Joseph to lead to a higher comfort level for the QB and, at home, Joseph should get back on track after an inconsistent game last week! Toronto's defense, despite their poor overall numbers this season, was respectable in holding Edmonton quarterback Ricky Ray to just 213 yards with only one touchdown while also getting one interception against the Eskimos QB. Edmonton lost their only road game so far this season and now in this rematch of last weeks game in Edmonton look for home field to make a big difference for Toronto. The Argonauts will employ a bend but dont break defense as they allow the Eskimos to get some yardage on the ground again this week but look for them to once again keep Edmonton QB Ray from beating them through the air. Conversely, the Eskimos have proven they can be beaten through the air as Edmonton has allowed eight touchdown passes in its three games. Overall teams are averaging 30 points per game against Edmonton and the Argos take advantage of this opportunity for right back revenge. The Eskimos took the game in Edmonton and the Argonauts return the favor in Toronto on Sunday!
