The Montreal Alouettes
Team Preview!
The Montreal Alouettes are coming off a tight 26-25 victory against the Argonauts in their last game. Quarterback Davis Alexander had a solid outing, throwing for over 300 yards and a touchdown, though he did have one interception. Running back Travis Theis led the ground game with 40 yards, and receiver Cole Spieker was a standout with 129 receiving yards.
Offensively, the Alouettes are pretty good, ranking 4th in the league with 28.0 points per game, and they're 6th in total yards per game. What's really impressive, though, is their defense, which is among the best in the CFL, ranking 1st in yards allowed per game and 2nd in points conceded per game. They're particularly good at shutting down the run, giving up less than 70 rushing yards per game.
The Calgary Stampeders Team Preview!
The Stampeders recently beat the Blue Bombers 41-20, with Dedrick Mills leading the charge on the ground with 70 yards, and Tevin Jones racking up 64 receiving yards. Quarterback Vernon Adams had a great game too, throwing for 267 yards and 3 touchdowns despite one interception. This win highlights Calgary's strong season so far, as they lead the CFL in total yards per game (407.0) and are second in scoring with 30.2 points per game. Their defense is also a force, ranking first in the league by only allowing 18.5 points per game and giving up zero rushing touchdowns all season.
Alouettes vs Stampeders Game Prediction!
THE PICK: CALGARY STAMPEDERS -6.5
With Alexander out, the Alouettes offense is likely to struggle. I'd expect the Stampeders to really pressure Evans, and Vernon Adams should keep making those big plays downfield. The Stampeders are looking good to win this one by at least a touchdown, covering the spread and pushing their record to 6-1 for the season.
