Blue Bombers vs. Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 29, Alouettes 12

Moneyline

The Blue Bombers (-410) opened closer to -300 at most shops early in the week, and while Winnipeg should win straight up, I wouldn't recommend paying such a high price at this point.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

The Blue Bombers underestimated Toronto in last season's Grey Cup, losing by 1 as 5-point favorites, and shouldn't make the same mistake 2 years in a row. Montreal has earned its respect after winning 7 straight games and upsetting the Argonauts, who tied a CFL-record by finishing 16-2 in the regular season. However, the Alouettes clearly do not have the talent or the experience to compete with Winnipeg.

When Blue Bombers QB Zach Collaros starts, Winnipeg is 4-1 straight up vs. Montreal and wins by an average margin of 13.2 points per game. The Alouettes should be happy just making an unlikely Grey Cup appearance, while Winnipeg and its 1st-ranked defense will be on a mission to make up for last season's Grey Cup disappointment.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Montreal will face the CFL's No. 1 defense and should come back down to Earth after scoring 38 points last time out. While Winnipeg also boasts the regular season's 1st-ranked offense, the Under has gone 7-2 in the Alouettes' last 9 as they have held opponents to just 17.9 points per game over that span.

Both defenses should look good, and Montreal should especially struggle offensively after overperforming in recent weeks.

BET UNDER 47. 5 (-110).
