East final: Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts and the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes meet in the East final Saturday. Kickoff from Percival-Molson Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (CFL+ / TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts are coming off a 58-38 win as 6.5-point favorites over the visiting Ottawa Redblacks in the East semifinal Nov. 2 with the Over (53) hitting. QB Chad Kelly was 18-of-20 passing for 358 yards with 4 TDs while rushing for another.

Toronto went 10-8 in the regular season. Once Kelly rejoined the team in Week 12 — after serving a 9-game suspension — the Argonauts went 5-4 against the spread (ATS) and 6-3 Over/Under (O/U). Kelly finished with 10 passing TDs and 8 INTs in 9 regular-season games.

The Alouettes finished first in the division with a 12-5-1 regular-season record. Before they clinched an opening-round playoff bye in Week 17, they were 8-6 ATS and 6-8 O/U. QB Cody Fajardo threw 16 TDs and 7 INTs in 14 games in the regular season.

The Argonauts went 2-1 straight up/ATS against the Alouettes this season, with the O/U also going 2-1. In the most recent meeting Sept. 28 — after Montreal had already clinched first in the East — Toronto won 37-31 as a 2-point home underdog while the Over (51.5) cashed.

In last year’s East final, Montreal upset Toronto 38-17 as a 10.5-point road underdog with the Over (51.5) hitting. The Alouettes recorded 9 turnovers, including 4 INTs by Kelly.

Argonauts at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 33, Alouettes 27

Moneyline

The Argonauts are 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games, and the 1 loss was a 31-30 setback in OT at the Edmonton Elks Oct. 25 while resting multiple key starters.

The Alouettes have been cruising over the last 4 games, going 1-3 straight up, after clinching first in the East so early into the season. It’ll be too hard for them to ramp up the intensity all of a sudden, especially against an Argos team that they embarrassed in the East final last season.

BET ARGONAUTS (+100).

Against the spread

Taking 2.5 isn’t worth it when you can play the Argonauts straight up at plus money. If this number hits 3 at any point, then that’s a different story.

At 2.5, PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 3 straight Argonauts games, with Toronto putting up 30 or more points in each outing. The Argonauts are 5-1 O/U in their last 6 games and have scored 30 or more in 6 of their last 7.

The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these teams. With Toronto coming off a 58-point outing in the East semifinal, I want no part of betting the Under in this spot.

BET OVER 52.5 (-110).

Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes Week 6 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (2-2) and the Montreal Alouettes (5-0) meet Sunday for a Week 6 battle at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts fired out of the chute with 2 high-scoring victories to start the season. However, in Week 4, Toronto suffered its 1st loss of the season against the defending Grey Cup champ Alouettes, losing 30-20 as a 3-point underdog as the Under (50.5) cashed.

Toronto has scored at least 20 points in all 4 games to date, but it also has allowed at least 27 points in each outing, with 32.0 points per game (PPG) allowed in the previous 3 contests. The Over has cashed in 3 of 4 games this season.

The defending champs eased by the Calgary Stampeders at home in Week 6, winning 30-26, but Montreal failed to cover as 7.5-point favorites. The Als are 1-1 ATS in 2 home games, while the Over has cashed in both outings. The Under is 3-0 in Montreal’s 3 games on the road, including the Week 4 matchup in T-Dot.

Argonauts at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 32, Argonauts 23

Moneyline

Montreal (-310) will set you back more than 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Toronto (+245) is a tempting play for the chance to more than double up, but it lost by 10 points at home to the Als just 2 weeks ago, and there is little reason to believe much has changed since.

AVOID.

Against the spread

MONTREAL -6.5 (-115) is worth a play laying the points, especially if this line remains under a flat 7.

Toronto +6.5 (-110) won outright as an underdog in Week 1, but it is 0-3 ATS in the past 3 outings since.

The Als have split its 2 games at home against the number, and Montreal is 1-1 ATS in 2 games as a favorite of 6.5 or more points.

Over/Under

OVER 50.5 (-112) is a great play based upon Toronto’s ineptitude on defense.

The Argos have allowed 30.8 PPG this season, ranking 8th in the CFL, while the Over has cashed in 3 of 4 games to date.

For Montreal, it has averaged 35.7 PPG in the past 3 games, while scoring 30 or more points in each of the outings. The Als have allowed at least 20 points in 4 straight games, too.

Analyzing Monday’s Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes Week 15 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (10-1) and Montreal Alouettes (6-6) meet Friday at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Alouettes odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

These teams played Saturday in Toronto, and the Argonauts covered as 9.5-point favorites with a 39-10 win as the Under (52) cashed. Toronto RB A.J. Ouellette rushed for 105 yards and 2 TDs as the Argonauts won their 4th straight game.

Toronto can clinch top spot in the East with a victory Friday, while the Alouettes are trying to snap a 3-game losing skid.

The Argonauts are 2-0 straight up and ATS this season vs. the Alouettes, with the Over and the Under each cashing once.

Argonauts at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 28, Alouettes 27

Moneyline

The Argonauts (-275) should beat the Alouettes for a 4th straight time. However, the price is too high on Toronto ML.

PASS. Take the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

The Alouettes should bounce back after getting blown out Saturday. QB Cody Fajardo and company are more than capable of keeping this game close and will be extra motivated to not lose their 4th straight. I believe it’s a tough ask to expect Toronto to beat Montreal by 7 or more points 3 times in a season. Take the points with the desperate Alouettes.

BET ALOUETTES +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in Montreal’s last 5 games and 3-1 in Toronto’s last 4.

While I don’t expect Toronto to score as many points this time out, I do believe the Alouettes will contribute much more offensively and help this Over hit Friday in Montreal.

BET OVER 52.5 (-110).
