- Analysis
- My selection is on Ottawa plus the points over Montreal at 7:30 pm et on Friday.
The Alouettes haven't met a close game they didn't like this season. Entering last week's action all six of their games had been decided by a touchdown or less. While they did ultimately pull away for a 13-point victory over Hamilton last Sunday, that was a down to the wire affair before the Tiger-Cats melted down late. Ottawa has already pushed Montreal to the limit earlier this season, dropping a narrow two-point decision as a +9 point underdog on the road on June 28th. Here, the Redblacks remain winless and come off their bye week. Needless to say, it's desperation time and catching the Alouettes playing on a short week riding a season-high four-game winning streak including three consecutive ATS covers, I think backing the Redblacks plus the points is the way to go. Take Ottawa (8*).
