The Montreal Alouettes’ pattern on the CFL schedule was easy to figure out. If the Alouettes were going to finish above them in the standings, Montreal was going to lose. But against teams that finished with losing records, the Alouettes went 11-0.
Hamilton vs Montreal Picks
- CFL Pick: Under 48 (-110)
Serving as the CFL’s gatekeeper to the top teams in the league won’t be any consolation for Montreal. The Alouettes are hoping they can take care of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to start the playoffs to earn another shot at the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts. But anyone making Hamilton vs Montreal best bets will see that the Tiger-Cats also have something to prove.
Hamilton struggled to find consistent quarterback play this season despite showing more than a few flashes of potential.

Tiger-Cats vs. Alouettes Pick and Prediction
This will be a tough game to pick. Anyone making Hamilton vs Montreal best bets will see the Alouettes have dominated Hamilton this season. The Tiger-Cats will need to figure out a way to score points if they hope to win this game. Montreal will lean on its defense and frustrate Hamilton once again to gain a victory.
Scoring seems to be up in the CFL this season. But that trend won’t likely be applied to this matchup. Neither of these two teams is among the best in the league at moving the ball. Hamilton hasn’t been able to score more than 20 points against Montreal in any of the team’s three meetings this season. The Tiger-Cats offense won’t figure things out this weekend either and this game should go under the total.
