The Bombers Vs Argos Game Prediction!
THE PICK: Blue Bombers -2.5
Winnipeg is out for revenge this weekend after losing to the Toronto Argonauts 31-17 last Saturday. While Argonauts QB Nick Arbuckle has been a thorn in their side before, leading to a Grey Cup upset last year and a great performance last week, the Bombers are banking on their own backup, Chris Streveler, to get the job done. With star QB Zach Collaros out with a neck injury, Streveler will get the start after a solid showing in the second half of the last game.
Streveler's mobility and improved passing could be a major factor, especially against an Argonauts defense that has struggled against both the run and the pass this season. It's predicted that Streveler's ability to create plays will be enough to lead the Bombers to a home victory and cover the spread.
