Redblacks at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 27, Redblacks 20

The records of both teams suggest that the Alouettes should be the easy choice. Plus, Ottawa has lost 3 straight and 4 of 5 and has surpassed 21 points only 1 time in its last 5 games.

The Alouettes have beaten the Redblacks twice this season — 47-21 in Montreal in June and 24-12 in Ottawa Sept 21.

Montreal should win, but the moneyline price of -225 is not worth the action.
