Randy’s Pick

The Ottawa Redblacks and the free touchdown is attractive when you consider they run the ball and stop the run as well as any team in the league. However, the Redblacks still have issues finishing games and have lost 8 of their last 9 overall. Also, the Alouettes are 3-0 SU against the Redblacks this season ad that includes a 17-point win on the road last week. I have no choice but to lay the chalk with the Montreal Alouettes at home.
