Randy’s Pick

Both of these teams have been so up and down this year, it’s hard to get a proper feel for either side. The Alouettes are probably getting the love here because of the beat down over the Tiger-Cats in week 3. With that said, the Tiger-Cats have seen better result recently, even if those wins came against the Redblacks and Elks. The Montreal Alouettes have been covering machines on the road over the years, but I’m just not excited to lay points with them, given their hit or miss efforts. If forced to pick this game, I’d want to the points with Hamilton at home.
