Randy’s Pick
The Montreal Alouettes are due for a bounce back performance, and you’d think it would come at home. However, Montreal is an average team up to this point, while the Toronto Argonauts are arguably the best team in the league. Also, the Argonauts are 2-0 SU against the Alouettes this season, and that includes a 29 point win just last week. For those not paying attention, the Argonauts are 2-0 against the Alouettes this season and have won those games by an average of 18.5 points. I’ll lay the chalk with Toronto.
