BC Lions vs Montreal Alouettes Prediction
The Montreal Alouettes are obviously the better team, and getting them as an underdog is something you won’t see often. However, the Alouettes have nothing to play for with a bye week already locked up in the first round of the playoffs. Oddsmakers clearly believe the Alouettes will rest guys. The BC Lions may be in spotty form, but they’re still fighting for playoff positioning, and having something to play for gives them the edge. Also, the Lions have won 5 of the last 6 games against the Alouettes, including a game in early September as 3.5 point dogs. Give me BC to get a big home win.
