Alouettes at Redblacks odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Alouettes 20, Redblacks 18

Money line

Both the Alouettes and Redblacks enter Week 5 at relatively full health, with each side already having received a bye week. The Redblacks lost 24-12 in their home debut last week and can’t be considered to have much of an advantage against their nearest geographical rival.

However, the Alouettes can’t be bet at the -300 odds. It’s far too much chalk to swallow when backing a team off of back-to-back losses and a 10-point performance last week.

PASS on the money line.

Against the spread

Back the REDBLACKS +7.5 (-130) to keep it respectable and within 7 points at home.

Ottawa is last in the CFL by a considerable margin in points per game (10.7) and yards per game (198.7) but Montreal allowed a total of 55 points in its last two games and allows the second-most rushing yards per game.

The Redblacks average a league-worst 63.3 rushing yards per game but could get a spark Friday, which would help ignite the equally unimpressive passing attack.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-110) is an easy bet to make with Ottawa last in points per game and Montreal being held to a total of 32 points over the last two weeks.

The Redblacks’ 13 sacks allowed through three games is tied for the most in the CFL. Until they get some improved play along the offensive line, they’re no threat to the Over.
