Football Matchup Preview for Week 12 in the CFL: Will Rourke and BC Lions Maintain Their Winning Streak in Toronto Against the Argonauts? (8/23)
The BC Lions are set to face the Toronto Argonauts on the road at 3:00 p.m. ET, CFL+, with the Lions predicted to emerge victorious in this highly anticipated matchup.
The Lions have been in fine form lately, with quarterback Nathan Arbuckle leading the charge. Arbuckle has an impressive streak of four consecutive 300-yard games and has thrown eight touchdown passes while only committing two interceptions during this period.
The Lions' offensive prowess is further underscored by their impressive point-scoring record. They have scored 30 or more points in four of their last five games, averaging 33.8 points per game in this stretch.
The Lions' total points of over 30.5 points (-110 at Bovada) is a recommended pick for the Lions' total points in the Lions vs. Argonauts game. Additionally, the Lions are favoured to win with a spread of -3.5 points and a moneyline of -210.
The Argonauts, on the other hand, are struggling this season, with a record of 3-9. They have been conceding the most yards after catch and have the most generous average starting field position in the league. Last week, they were held to just 20 points against Edmonton.
The Argonauts have a spread of 3.5 points and a moneyline of 180, but they face a Lions team that has been scoring at will. Despite being second in the league in passing yards allowed per game, the Argonauts have had issues stopping big plays, being tied for second worst in 30+ yard completions and being solo in second worst in passing efficiency and completion percentage (72.5%).
In their last five games, Lions' quarterback Nathan Rourke has completed 71.5% of his passes for 1,761 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Lions are facing a defense that has had issues stopping big plays, making them a formidable opponent for the Argonauts.
While there is no specific information available regarding which team will perform best defensively against tall receivers and be more efficient after the throw in this particular game, the Lions' offensive firepower and the Argonauts' defensive woes suggest a high-scoring affair.
Given the Lions' recent form and the Argonauts' struggles, Lions/Argonauts over 55 (-110 at Bovada) is a recommended pick for the total points over/under in the Lions vs. Argonauts game.
