Betting Trends for vs
While the UNDER is a solid choice in this matchup, the play here is Saskatchewan. The Roughriders have covered the number in six of the last eight meetings at home against Toronto. Although Cody Fajardo could miss the game for Saskatchewan due to a concussion, backup quarterback Isaac Harker passed for 89 yards while completing 10 of 13 passes and will be playing in front of a partisan crowd at home. Final Score Prediction, Saskatchewan Roughriders win and cover ATS 26-21.
