The first game on the Week 5 board has the RedBlacks hosting their Eastern Division foe Alouettes on Wednesday night on the field of TD Place Stadium at 7:30pm ET. The linesmaker opened this game at Ottawa -3.5, but we’ve had some hometown money pushing the point spread to as high as -5 on some boards. The total line is posted at 50.5 points.
Montreal brings some good momentum into this East Division tilt following last week’s shocking 30-23 upset against Calgary as a four-point home underdog. Trailing 20-16 heading into the fourth quarter of that game, quarterback Darian Durant rallied his team with two clutch scoring drives to secure the win. The Alouettes also bring a pretty stout defense into this game that has yet to allow more than 23 points this year.
