Randy’s Pick

The BC Lions are the better team on paper and them being at home doesn’t hurt, so you can understand why this line is what it is. With that said, BC has had an easy schedule up to this point and its offense has turned the ball over a lot up to this point. The Montreal Alouettes have more than held their own through 3 games, and they have a defense that’s first in scoring defense and second in total defense and passing defense. Getting a free touchdown. I’ll take a shot with the Alouettes.
