The Alouettes spanked the Roughriders back in Montreal, but will they be up to the task this week against this high flying host winner of four straight? The CFL betting board suggests differently with Saskatchewan listed as a consensus -7 point spread favorite. The total line on this Week 18 game is on the odds board at 49 points.
Montreal has just four SU wins on the year against 11 losses and it improves slightly to 6-9 ATS. The Alouettes have been basically riding out the string since the beginning of August. Behind a punchless offense that is averaging just 21 points a game, it is highly doubtful they can suddenly turn things around against a suddenly hot Saskatchewan ball club.
The Roughriders’ four-game winning streak includes victories both SU and ATS in games against the other three teams in the East Division, so I cannot see them going down in defeat to the worst team in this dismal group of teams.
