The Argonauts are 8-22-1 ATS in their last 31 road games, 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 games in October and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 vs. East. The Alouettes are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Friday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Argonauts are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Montreal.

The Toronto Argonauts have been awful this season both SU and ATS and they get blown out left and right on the road. The positive news is that three of the last five meetings between Toronto and the Montreal Alouettes have been decided by six or less points. The Montreal Alouettes are also winning at home this season by an average of just 2.4 points. While nobody should be running to the window to bet on the Argonauts, I have a hard time laying double-digit chalk with a team that doesn't exactly blow the doors off opponents. It's the points or pass.
