The Saskatchewan Roughriders are the better team on paper and should be better off at home here. However, we’re getting free points with a Montreal side that just beat up on Saskatchewan last week. Yes, weird things happen and the Alouettes consistent offense is a concern, especially on the road, but we can’t ignore what we saw a few days ago. Also, the Montreal Alouettes have been road covering machines the last couple of years. I’ll take a shot with the free points.
