No matter who starts at quarterback, if the offensive line doesn’t do the job, you won’t win a football game. Cody Pickett will try to ignite the Argos offence but how will he do that if he has no time to find his receivers and throw the ball? And how is he to perform miracles when his head coach, Bart Andrus, seems way over his head when play calling three-down football? Calling a sweep on the weak side on a third and short situation last week in Montreal comes to mind. It’s even worse when the entire team gives yardage by the ton through terrible penalties. The B.C. Lions have had their fair share of problems and a QB controversy of their own. But they are a much better team than the Argonauts at this point and should win this one.
BC Lions (2-4) @ Toronto (2-4)-- Argonauts are a mess, gaining total of 126 yards last week, with 108 penalty yards, a week after they turned ball over seven times vs Winnipeg- they're 0-2 at home, losing 46-36 to the Riders, 13-12 to Bombers. Lions are 0-4 when they score less than 35 points- their last three games all stayed under the total. Toronto has been outscored 45-8 in second half of its last four games.
