Argos vs Redblacks Free Pick July 8, 2017 – Jesse Schule

Ricky Ray and the Argos offense took advantage of a banged up Hamilton secondary in Week 1, scoring 32 points in a double-digit home win. They couldn’t get anything going offensively in Week 2, facing a much tougher B.C. Lions defense. It won’t get any easier for the Argos here this week, playing on the road at Ottawa. Former Argo Trevor Harris has looked good at quarterback for the Redblacks, throwing for 725 yards with five TDs and one INT. Ricky Ray has thrown for more yards, but he’s only thrown a pair of TD passes, and has a lower completion percentage. Ottawa has scored a ton of points, and when you consider that both those games were against the CFL’s top defense in 2016, you have to like their chances of lighting up the scoreboard here at home in Week 3. The Redblacks have covered the spread in eight of their last 11 games versus Eastern Conference teams, and they won 29-12 the last time they played Toronto at home. Take OTT. GL, Jesse Schule.
