The Edmonton Eskimos have won nine of the last 10 meetings against the Montreal Alouettes, but they enter the playoffs in brutal form where they've lost seven of their last nine overall and three of their last four on the road. Edmonton is also just 2-6-1 ATS on the road this season. The Montreal Alouettes have played their best football at home, and they should be welcomed by a nasty home crowd given this will be their first playoff trip since 2014 when they made it to the East Final. I'll gladly lay the small chalk with the Alouettes on their home field.
