Randy’s Pick

Neither of these teams have anything to play for, and I doubt neither side wants to show much as they play each other next week in a playoff game. So, expect a lot of vanilla stuff and possibly backups. Still, somebody has to win, and that’s where I lean toward the home team in the Montreal Alouettes. They’re playing their best ball of the season with 4 straight wins, and they’ve beaten the Hamilton Tiger-Cats twice this season. I’ll eat the chalk.
