Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Montreal Alouettes (6-7) and the Calgary Stampeders (4-9) meet Saturday for a Week 16 CFL matchup at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (TSN+/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Alouettes are skidding lately after a hot start. Montreal followed up a 4-game win streak from Week 8-11 with a 4-game losing streak over its last 4 contests. The Als have allowed 23 or more points in each of the past 5 games and are just 1-4 against the spread (ATS) during that span.

Montreal has gone cold on offense, too. It scored 25 or more points in a 5-game run from Week 6-11, but it is averaging just 18.0 points per game (PPG) during the previous 4 outings.

Calgary was tripped up 25-23 at Edmonton last time out on Sept. 9, but it did grab the cover as a 2.5-point underdog at most shops. The Stampeders have covered a season-high 4 straight games.

The Alouettes picked up the 25-18 win as 1.5-point home favorites while the Under (49.5) cashed when these teams met in Week 8. The Als are 5-2 ATS in the past 7 trips to Calgary while going 12-2 ATS in the past 14 meetings overall in this series.

Alouettes at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 26, Stampeders 23

Moneyline

MONTREAL (-110) is a decent play straight up if you don’t want to worry about the small amount of points, or if you feel there is a strong chance of Calgary winning or falling by just a single point.

Against the spread

The better play is taking MONTREAL -1.5 (+100), saving yourself a few loonies in the process. The Als have dominated this series against the number, covering 12 of the past 14 meetings while going 5-2 ATS in their last 7 visits to McMahon Stadium.

It’s hard to be confident in the Als, other than their dominant numbers in this series, as Montreal has dropped the past 4 games overall. However, Calgary has also dropped 4 of the past 5 games overall. It was a 1.5-point underdog in Week 8 in Montreal and fell by a 25-18 score. Look for the Als to cover again.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very, very lightly.

The Over has outpaced the Under 2-1 in the past 3 games for the Stamps and is 4-2 in the past 6 games overall for the Als. However, the Under did connect in the first meeting back in Week 8 between these teams.
