Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders Week 16 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[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.

Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders matchup, with CFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Montreal Alouettes (1-0) play a second straight game in Alberta this week with a Friday visit to the Calgary Stampeders (0-2). Kickoff at McMahon Stadium will be at 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Alouettes at Stampeders odds and lines and make our best CFL picks, predictions and bets.

Stamps QB Bo Levi Mitchell (leg) was placed on the six-game injured list this week after suffering a broken leg in Week 1 but played through the injury last week. He had completed just 60.3% of his passes for 542 yards and 1 touchdown against a league-high 5 interceptions and will be replaced under center by Canadian QB Michael O’Connor in Week 3.

The Alouettes had the Week 1 bye and returned to beat the Edmonton Elks 30-13 on the road last week. QB Vernon Adams went 13-for-21 for 211 yards and 2 TD and RB William Stanback racked up 112 yards on 18 carries in the blowout win.

Alouettes at Stampeders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Alouettes 29, Stampeders 18

Money line

The ALOUETTES (-260) are a strong play after winning on the road while registering 5 sacks against the Elks. They didn’t even record an interception or fumble recovery to pad the stats in the blowout 17-point win.

The injury to Mitchell further handicaps the winless and last-place Stampeders, despite a modest minus-9 point differential. O’Connor’s in his second CFL season but first with the Stamps. The Canadian national completed 15 of 25 attempts for 173 yards and 1 TD over nine games with the Toronto Argonauts in 2019.

Against the spread

Double down on the visitors and back the ALOUETTES -5.5 (-120) for a win by 6 or more points.

The Stampeders are averaging a modest 84.0 yards per game on the ground and RBs Ka’Deem Carey and Ante Milanovic-Litre are unlikely to take much defensive pressure off of O’Connor.

Over/Under

Lean slightly to the OVER 45.5 (-105) as the sportsbooks seem to have overcorrected to the early trend of low-scoring games through two weeks.

Adams and Montreal hung 30 points on a better Elks team last week and should be loosened up after the early bye.
