Toronto Argonauts vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers Preview

Toronto Argonauts vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers
CFL Odds: The Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Toronto Argonauts on Thursday in the opening game of the 2014 CFL season. The Toronto Argonauts won the East Division last season while the Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished last so it is no surprise to see the road team favored in this opener. The Toronto Argonauts have also owned this series of late, winning 7 of the last 10. They won all three meetings a year ago and covered two of the three games.
Here is a look at Thursday’s season opener and CFL picks.
Huge Edge at Quarterback for Toronto Argonauts
The Toronto Argonauts have one of the top quarterbacks in the CFL in Ricky Ray while the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have problems. The team is counting on Drew Willy as their starter and Brian Brohm as the backup. Willy has four career CFL starts while Brohm has none.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Defensive Injuries
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defense has major problems heading into the opener on Thursday. Three starters, linebacker Korey Banks, cornerback Donovan Alexander and defensive back Alex Suber are all questionable. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defense is not very good to begin with and with three starters banged up they figure to have a long night on Thursday against Ricky Ray and the Argos offense.
Game Trends
The Argonauts are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in June. The Argonauts are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. The Argonauts are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in Week 1. The Blue Bombers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games in June. The Blue Bombers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games. The Argonauts are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Winnipeg. The Argonauts are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The Under is 14-3 in the Argonauts last 17 games in June. The Under is 5-2 in the Blue Bombers last 7 games in June. The Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings in Winnipeg.
CFL Picks
I think this should be a good road win to start the season for the Toronto Argonauts so I will lay the points.
