The Stampeders are 18-7-3 ATS in their last 28 games following a bye week, 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games in October. The Alouettes are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 Saturday games, 6-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games overall. The Stampeders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Montreal and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 meetings. The under is 8-3 in Stampeders last 11 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Alouettes last 7 Saturday games.
The Calgary Stampeders are a different team with Levi Mitchell at quarterback, as they've won four straight games and have won their last three games by an average of eight points. The Montreal Alouettes have been a hit or miss team all year and have a defense opponents can move the ball against with some consistency. While the Alouettes have played their best ball at home for the most part, it's tough to turn down small chalk with the Stampeders, as we don't get numbers like this with them very often. Take advantage of it while you can.
