Ottawa Redblacks vs. Montreal Alouettes Betting Preview
Ottawa needs to finish drives
The Redblacks couldn’t be pleased with their success on the CFL schedule last week. Ottawa got blasted 32-15 in a game that was never very close. The first two meetings between the Redblacks and Alouettes were one-score affairs.
Ottawa quarterback Dustin Crum hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in five of his past six starts but has been intercepted five times during that stretch. The Redblacks put up plenty of passing yards against Montreal last week but couldn’t finish drives. Redblacks vs Alouettes odds show Montreal is 6-9 against the spread this season.
Ottawa has seen the total go over in four of its past five games. The Redblacks will need a more efficient defense to grab a win. Ottawa has the second-worst scoring defense in the league, allowing 27.4 points per game.

Montreal doesn’t want to slack off
The Alouettes are in a vicious fight with Hamilton for second place in the CFL standings in the East Division. Montreal has matched up well with teams below them in the CFL. The Alouettes scored the first 22 points during their meeting with Ottawa last week.
Redblacks vs Alouettes odds show they may want to keep the ball in the hands of running back William Stanback. Stanback rushed for 85 yards on Sept. 30 at Ottawa. He has rushed for 85 yards or more in three of the past four games for Montreal.
The Alouettes are 8-7 against the spread this season. Montreal has covered three games in a row against the spread. The Alouettes are 8-0 straight up against teams currently below them in the standings. All seven of Montreal’s losses have come to Toronto, B.C. or Winnipeg.

Ottawa Redblacks vs. Montreal Alouettes Betting Picks
All the teams in CFL develop familiarity with each other because of how frequently they meet during the year. During the first three meetings between Montreal and Ottawa, the two teams produced 47.5 or less points twice. The Redblacks’ offense has struggled to finish drives for much of the season. Ottawa won’t have much to play for in this game and won’t put many points.
Montreal looked great against Ottawa last week. The Alouettes put up a bunch of points and limited Ottawa to 15. This game may not end up being quite as lopsided, but Montreal should be able to find a way to win this one by more than a touchdown.
