The 1st-place Alouettes bounced back from a 19-19 tie against the Calgary Stampeders in Week 15 with a 24-12 road win against the Ottawa Redblacks, covering as 3-point favorites. That halted an 0-3 against-the-spread (ATS) skid. The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings.

Alouettes at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 29, Argonauts 25

Moneyline

The ALOUETTES (-130) are a solid play in this game. The road team has won each of the meetings this season, and the visitor is a perfect 4-0 straight up dating back to Sept. 15, 2023.

Montreal comes with a cheap price tag for the No. 1 team in the CFL against a .500 team. Take advantage.

Against the spread

Back the ALOUETTES -1.5 (-110) laying the little bit of points on the road. Montreal is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings with the rival Argonauts +1.5 (-110). And while the Als are just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 games, they’re still an impressive 5-3 ATS across the past 8 outings.

The Argos just cannot seem to get anything going on a consistent basis. They’ve dropped 3 of the past 4 outings, while going 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games. Back the better team, and that’s easily the Als.

Over/Under

OVER 51.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games for the Argos, going for 27 or more points in 4 in a row and 5 of the past 6 outings. And defensively, Toronto has coughed up 31 or more points in 3 of the past 4 games and 25 or more points in 5 of the previous 7 contests.

For the Alouettes, while the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings, the Over and Under have split 3-3 across the past 6 games. Go lightly on the Over.
