Alouettes vs Lions Prediction 

Montreal was able to pickup another victory last week with a strong second half, but they will be on the road for this one. The Alouettes have the best record in the CFL right now and they have won four of their last five games. BC has also won four of their last five games and they have scored 30+ points in four straight. The Lions have also picked up their defense recently, allowing 26 or fewer in four of their last five. I liked how BC played last week and I think they can close out the win here.
