Alouettes vs Redblacks Prediction 

Montreal comes into this matchup on a four game winning streak, but only two of those wins came by at least seven points. The Alouettes have scored 29+ points in five straight games, but they have allowed at least 30 points in four of those five. Ottawa is still looking for their first win, as they completely blew their last game in the fourth quarter. The Redblacks have allowed 36+ points in four of their last five games, but did battle Montreal very hard a few weeks ago. I don’t like the defense, but I am going to take Ottawa with the points here.
