Lions vs Alouettes Prediction 

BC rolls into this matchup on a five game winning streak and they have won three of those five by at least 14 points. The Lions have scored 30+ points in four of their last five and their defense is also playing well. Montreal was upset last week against Winnipeg, but they have been a top team all year. The Alouettes have scored 31+ points in four of their last five games and I think we are going to see a high scoring game. Take the over here.
