The Montreal Alouettes and Ottawa Redblacks meet Saturday in week 11 CFL action at TD Place Stadium. The Montreal Alouettes look for a third straight win to get a game above a .500 record. The Ottawa Redblacks need a win after losing seven of their last eight games.

The Montreal Alouettes have lost six of their last 11 games overall. Vernon Adams is completing 59.4 percent of his passes for 1,949 yards, 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Eugene Lewis and Jake Wieneke have combined for 1,195 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns, while B.J. Cunningham has 34 receptions. The Montreal Alouettes ground game is averaging 151.3 yards per contest, and William Stanback leads the way with 677 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, Montreal is allowing 23.8 points and 338.8 yards per game. Greg Reid leads the Montreal Alouettes with 34 tackles, Woody Baron has four sacks and Wes Sutton has one interception.

The Ottawa Redblacks have lost 18 of their last 20 games overall. Dominique Davis is completing 60.2 percent of his passes for 674 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions. RJ Harris and Ryan Davis have combined for 891 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while Nathaniel Behar has 25 receptions. The Ottawa Redblacks ground game is averaging 83.6 yards per contest, and Timothy Flanders leads the way with 228 yards on 64 carries. Defensively, Ottawa is allowing 28.7 points and 379.3 yards per game. Avery Williams leads the Ottawa Redblacks with 62 tackles, Praise Martin-Oguike has four sacks and Brandin Dandridge has three interceptions.

The Alouettes are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The RedBlacks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Alouettes last 7 road games. The under is 7-1 in RedBlacks last 8 Saturday games. The Alouettes are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Ottawa and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

The Montreal Alouettes are playing their best ball of the season right now, they’ve won five of the last six meetings against the Redblacks, and that includes a win last week. The Ottawa Redblacks have been god awful both SU and ATS these last three years, and they really don’t do anything well on either side of the ball. The Redblacks have been held to 16 or fewer points in seven of their nine games, and the defense gets gashed against the run. The Alouettes have the best rushing offense in the league. I’ll lay the chalk.
