Prediction: Calgary Stampeders VS Toronto Argonauts 2025-06-14
Folks, we've got a real barnburner of a matchup for you in the CFL, as the Toronto Argonauts, fresh off a 28-10 drubbing at the hands of the Montreal Alouettes, look to bounce back against the Calgary Stampeders, who are riding high after a 38-26 thrashing of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The Stampeders, led by the new-look offense under Vernon Adams Jr., are looking to prove that last season's woes were just a minor blip on the radar. And boy, did they come out swinging in Week 1, with Dedrick Mills running wild for 94 yards and three touchdowns. The Calgary offense seems to be clicking, and with the additions of Folarin Orimolade and Marquel Lee on defense, they're looking to shut down the Argos.
Toronto, on the other hand, is dealing with a slew of injuries, including the loss of Chad Kelly, which can't help their chances. Nick Arbuckle will be under center for the second consecutive week, and he'll need to bring his A-game against a Stampeders defense that's looking to make a statement.
Now, let's talk odds. The Stampeders are favored by around 1-1.5 points across the board, with the over/under sitting pretty at 50.5. Given the injuries and the overall performance in Week 1, I'm inclined to side with the Stampeders.
Historically, underdogs in the CFL have a win rate of around 35%, but given the Argos' struggles in Week 1 and the Stampeders' momentum, I'm going to ride with Calgary.
Best Bet: Calgary Stampeders -1.0 (odds from BetRivers, DraftKings, or LowVig.ag) at 1.85-1.91.
Secondary Bet: Over 50.5 (odds from FanDuel, BetRivers, or DraftKings) at 1.89-1.91.
The Stampeders' offense seems to be firing on all cylinders, and with the Argos' injury woes, I think Calgary can keep the momentum going.
Will the Argos bounce back, or will the Stampeders ride their momentum to a 2-0 start? One thing's for sure: it's gonna be a wild ride in the CFL.
