The Ottawa Redblacks don’t win, don’t cover numbers, and they’re god awful on both sides of the ball. The Montreal Alouettes haven’t had much success in the favorite role, but they’re one of the more explosive offensive teams in the league and are capable of blowing out oppoenents not capable of matching their energy. In fact, the Alouettes beat the Redblacks 51-29 a little over a month ago. Backing the Redbalcks simply isn’t an option right now. I’ll eat the chalk with the Alouettes.
