Edmonton at Montreal (-7, 52.5)
Montreal will keep trying and got off on the right foot by winning season opener. The Alouettes have lost in the Grey Cup finals three of the last four years and will continue to try to be CFL champions yet again. Having Anthony Calvillo is a good start, since the veteran quarterback completed 75 percent of his passes for 255 yards in win at Calgary last week as eight-point underdogs. Running back Avon Cobourne picked where he left off last season and rushed for 107yards, however Montreal is 9-21 ATS after a dominating performance – 34 or minutes of time of possession and 24+ first downs.
Edmonton won their first game, but it came at a price. One of the CFL’s best running backs for a number of years, James Lumsden, went down with shoulder injury and is out at least nine weeks. This shifts the pressure to quarterback Ricky Ray and a solid Eskimos defense. How they respond will be key and Edmonton is 2-5 ATS off a win.
These two teams clearly have different agendas how they would prefer to see the style of play work out. Montreal wouldn’t mind a shootout and is 10-4 and 8-5-1 ATS at home against Edmonton. The Eskimos will try to hurry Calvillo and keep it more low scoring. They are 7-3-1 ATS in last 11 contests with the Als.
Play UNDER MONTREAL on the total in Home games in non-conference games
The record is 1 Overs and 9 Unders for the last three seasons
