The Alouettes are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games, 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 Friday games. The RedBlacks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games, 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games in November and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Alouettes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Ottawa and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 meetings. The under is 5-1 in RedBlacks last 6 games overall. The under is 8-2 in Alouettes last 10 Friday games.
These previous meetings have been rather competitive, but the Ottawa Redblacks are a team you can blindly fade all year and sit on a pile of cash. The Redblacks are just 2-6 ATS at home and hav failed to cover eight of their last nine games overall. The Montreal Alouettes have been a road covering machine dating back to last season and need another win to build positive vibes as they gear up for the playoffs. This is a lot of chalk to lay, but the Redblacks have had no betting value for months.
