Alouettes vs Stampeders Prediction 

Montreal was able to defeat Calgary in last week’s matchup, but it is never easy to beat a team two times in a row. The Alouettes have scored 37 points in three of their last four games, but they have allowed at least 30 points in four straight. Calgary has scored 37+ points in four straight games, but they have allowed 30+ points in five straight. I don’t trust either defense in this matchup, but this is a huge number and we really only need a few stops to go under. Take the under here.
