Alouettes vs. Argonauts Betting Pick and Prediction
Alouettes vs Argonauts best bets show that Montreal was close to knocking off the Argonauts during their Week 15 meeting. However, Toronto didn’t have much to play for, so it’s hard to read into that result. While the Alouettes likely won’t win this game, backing Montreal +9.5 isn’t a bad deal. Two of the three games between these teams were decided by eight points or less.
This game will likely go under the total. Montreal hasn’t had an easy time moving the ball against Toronto. While the Argonauts’ offense is capable of putting up big numbers and threatening any total, this game will stay under as both teams will tighten up for a playoff game.
