🏆 Who will win Alouettes vs. Blue Bombers?

I like the Alouettes to beat the Blue Bombers by five points today, so there's value on Winnipeg's spread at +7.5. The Alouettes are a +190 betting favorite in the Grey Cup odds, while the Blue Bombers have the second-longest odds at +1500, so it makes sense that Montreal is favored. However, Winnipeg will be more competitive moving forward with Zach Collaros back from injury.

Score prediction: Alouettes 33, Blue Bombers 28


💰 Alouettes vs. Blue Bombers prediction & best bet

Blue Bombers +7.5 (-124)

It was Collaros' 38th birthday on Thursday, and what better way for the Blue Bombers to celebrate their two-time Most Outstanding Player than to stay competitive with the Alouettes?

I believe the market is overrating Montreal after it covered six straight games. Here's the thing about those covers, though: Two were against the Redblacks, who are a CFL-worst 0-10 straight up on the season, and one was against the Tiger-Cats with a backup QB. Let's not overreact to blowouts against bad teams.

Blue Bombers +7.5 (-124) at BetRivers is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

🔥 More Alouettes vs. Blue Bombers picks

Over 59.5 (-115)

The Alouettes are clearly the best team in the CFL - no one is trying to dispute that - but let's not act like their defense is invincible. It has allowed 27 or more points in seven of their 10 games this season and has yet to face the Blue Bombers.

Collaros is back from injury and will probably have no trouble moving the sticks against Montreal's defense. The last time these teams met, they combined for 75 points, and both QBs threw for over 300 yards. Over 59.5 (-115) at BetRivers is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
