Blue Bombers at Alouettes picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Bombers 32, Alouettes 24
Moneyline
Winnipeg (-210) should bounce back after getting embarrassed last time out, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Blue Bombers should win by margin. Lay the points and/or bet the total instead.
PASS.
Against the spread
Winnipeg is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games after failing to cover in its previous contest (including last year’s regular season and playoffs).
Montreal has looked good so far this season, but has only faced the winless Tiger-Cats and the injury-riddled Ottawa Redblacks.
BET BLUE BOMBERS -5.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Winnipeg led the CFL in points per game last season (27.8) and the Over is 5-1 in its last 6 road games.
Fajardo also seems to be getting more comfortable in Montreal’s system and has improved since his debut for the Alouettes (261 passing yards, 1 rushing TD).
BET OVER 45.5 (-110).
