The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been winning and covering machines dating back to last season, and they just beat the Alouettes on the road last week by 15 points. There’s a reason why the Blue Bombers are getting so much love from oddsmakers. With that said, it’s not easy to comfortably beat up on the same team in back-to-back weeks. Also, the Alouettes have been terrific against the number on the road over the years. Montreal has covered 3 of the last 5 meetings against Winnipeg. I’ll take a shot with the free points.
