The Toronto Argonauts Vs. Montreal Alouettes Game Prediction!

THE PICK: Alouettes -10.5

Don't let the Montreal Alouettes two-game losing streak fool you. Both of those losses came with their star quarterback, Davis Alexander, sidelined by an injury. Before he got hurt, Alexander was on fire, leading the team to a perfect 7-0 record as a starter and sparking an explosive offense. He's expected to be back on the field this week, just in time to face a Toronto Argonauts defense that has been giving up big numbers and lost key players in the offseason.

Add in the fact that the Argos are still without their starting quarterback, and all signs point to the Alouettes' stingy defense and re-energized offense having a field day, easily covering the double-digit spread.
