Montreal was 3-6 O-U at home this year Calgary was 5-3 O-U Otr.
These two teams played each other twice this year an under in Montreal and over in Calgary that featured 71 points but it is important to note that in that game Calgary scored a 50 yards hail mary TD at the end of the first half and built 3 touchdown lead before letting Montreal scored some garbage time TD's.
H2H the over is 10-3 in the last 12 seasons in Montreal but the in the last 3 years that total number has dropped to 1-2 over the avg score in these games in Montreal was 51 points.
This should be a pretty solid game as both teams feature talented QB's who squared off as Most Valuable Player Candidates from their respective conferences - Cahvillo won by the way.
Both teams can run the ball Calgary and Montreal were 2 in 3 in rushing stats at 6.3 and 6.2 yards per attempt. Both teams feature HC's that have NFL backgrounds and I expect them to try Milk the clock at the end of the game with their running games.
Calgary and Montreal feature the top two defensive teams in terms of efficiency, both teams have similar 16.6 and 16.5 Yard per Point Stat. They give up 16.5 yards for every point scored If you can imagine 900 yards of offense in this game that would yeild a score of 54 points. Basically these team defenses bend but don't break that was clearly illustrated by CGY last week in the Western Final as they allowed BC to drive into the red zone six times and all BC could do was come away with 5 FG's.
Overall this total looks about 3 points too high so I will play the Under for 1*
and I will do 6.5 tease on Cgy and the Under for 1* as well. Calgary is currently sitting at +1 but getting them at +7.5 is a nice spot.
GL and thanks to everyone for their support this year in the CFL.
