Tiger-Cats vs. Argonauts Prediction & Odds: CFL Week 12 Expert Picks (Saturday, Aug. 22)
📡 SBR Edge: Back the Argos' Bounceback
My Tiger-Cats vs. Argonauts prediction includes Argonauts -4.5 (+100) and Over 59.5 (-115). Toronto will likely get revenge after losing as a 4.5-point favorite in the last meeting between these teams, and it averages the second-most passing yards per game in the CFL, so it should score more points moving forward.

🏆 Who will win Tiger-Cats vs. Argonauts?
I like the Argonauts to beat the Tiger-Cats by seven points today in Toronto. Hamilton is still without Bo Levi Mitchell, a 2025 Most Outstanding Player finalist, and will start Tre Ford today. With this game being played in Toronto and the Tiger-Cats starting a backup quarterback, it makes sense that the Argonauts are favored.
Score prediction: Argonauts 34, Tiger-Cats 27
💰 Tiger-Cats vs. Argonauts prediction & best bet
Argonauts -4.5 (+100)
Not only are Chad Kelly and the Argonauts coming off a season-low 12 points against the Elks - so their offense will be 100% focused today - but they also lost to Ford and the Tiger-Cats in Hamilton in Week 7. Toronto will likely get revenge after losing straight up to the Tiger-Cats as a 4.5-point favorite on July 18.
Despite the result, the Argonauts are still the better team - with Ford at QB - which is part of the reason why they're favored after the loss. Argonauts -4.5 (+100) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

🔥 More Tiger-Cats vs. Argonauts picks
Over 59.5 (-115)
The Argonauts scored just 12 points in Week 11, but we can't focus too heavily on that result. Toronto averages the second-most yards per game (417.0) in the league, which means if the offense can continue to be that productive, it will likely score way more points moving forward.
The Argonauts started the season scoring 36 or more points in three of their first four games, and that is closer to what is expected of the offense than what we've seen recently. So, while this total is high considering the Argonauts' recent performances, I think it should be higher based on how productive this offense is at racking up yards.
Over 59.5 (-115) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
