Alouettes at Argonauts picks and predictions
Prediction
Argonauts 29, Alouettes 25
Moneyline
The Argonauts (-550) will set you back quite a hefty amount to wager their moneyline as you’re forced to risk 5 1/2 times your potential return. That’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, especially in a potentially close game between these East Division rivals.
PASS.
Against the spread
The ALOUETTES +9.5 (-110) almost catching double digits is way too much in this rivalry. While Montreal has failed to cover 3 in a row, the Als were 20-9 ATS in the past 29 trips to Toronto.
The edge goes to the Alouettes in the past 6 meetings, with Montreal going 3-2-1 ATS. The last time there was a double-digit spread in this series, the Argonauts covered as a 10.5-point road ‘dog on Oct. 18, 2019.

Over/Under
OVER 52.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very lightly.
The Over has cashed in each of the past 3 meetings in this series and is 5-2 across the past 7. The past 3 battles have seen an average of 64.7 combined points per game, which is well above the Over (48) in each of those contests.
The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 home games for Toronto and is 7-1 in the past 8 road outings for Montreal. The Over has cashed in 4 straight games for the Als, while also going 4-0 in the past 4 against winning teams.
