Montreal at Saskatchewan (-6, 50.5)
Saskatchewan(3-0 SU & ATS) was most impressive last week in defeating Hamilton on the road, without regular starting quarterback Marcus Crandell, who has hamstring injury. Back-up Darian Durant was superb 23-of-32 passing for 339 yards and two touchdowns. The Roughriders are 9-2 ATS in the first half of the season over the last two seasons, largely due to a great defense, that is tops in fewest yards allowed at 334.7 PG.
Montreal (2-1 SU & ATS) has played three surprising games this season, winning two as underdogs and losing only contest as a favorite. Long timeMontreal signal caller Anthony Calvillo continues to thrive in passing offense, which is the best in the CFL. Last week, the Alouettes looked to be too impatient, and only ran the ball six times (Was Mike Martz offensive coordinator?). Montreal’s defense is tied with the Roughriders in points allowed at 19 PG and will have to contain Saskatchewan offense, since they are 1-11 ATS when they allow 28 or more points.
Montreal has dominated this series on the road with 9-3 record (6-5-1 ATS), though has lost the last two visits. In spite of two very solid defensive teams meeting, these two squads have played OVER 8 of last 10 times here and the Roughriders are 15-1 OVER in home games after a win by 8 or less points.
