Alouettes vs Blue Bombers Betting Analysis
Montreal’s Offense Has to Find a Way
The Alouettes were one of a few teams in CFL that couldn’t find consistent quarterback play all season. Despite having a solid defense, Montreal quarterback Cody Fajardo couldn’t always take advantage of the field position he was given. Fajardo threw 12 interceptions during the regular season and has thrown two more in the postseason.

Montreal is 12-7-1 against the spread. Eleven of the Alouettes’ 20 games have gone under the total.
Blue Bombers Have Strong All-Around Offense
Winnipeg running back Brady Oliveira has given the Blue Bombers a dynamic offensive attack. He rushed for more than 1,500 yards during the regular season and ran for 109 yards in the postseason. Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros was used as more of a game manager in the West Division final.
Collaros only attempted 21 passes and finished with 158 yards passing. Winnipeg’s defense also scored a touchdown on a fumble return. The Blue Bombers’ offense has produced 31 or more points in four of their past five games. Winnipeg is 11-7 against the spread.
