Alouettes vs. Redblacks Prediction & Odds: CFL Week 9 Expert Picks (Friday, July 31)
📡 SBR Edge: Redblacks Remain Winless
My Alouettes vs. Redblacks prediction includes Alouettes -6.5 (-108) and Under 61 (+100). Montreal won't underestimate Ottawa this time after almost losing to it earlier this season, and the total is set too high after an unusually high-scoring fourth quarter in the first meeting.

🏆 Who will win Alouettes vs. Redblacks?
I like the Alouettes to beat the Redblacks by nine points today. The Alouettes are the betting favorite in the Grey Cup odds, led by Most Outstanding Player favorite Davis Alexander. The Redblacks, meanwhile, are 0-6 on the season, and Jake Maier remains Ottawa's starter. While there's some value on Alouettes ML (-300 on Betway), I prefer playing the spread at greater odds.
Score prediction: Alouettes 34, Redblacks 25
💰 Alouettes vs. Redblacks prediction & best bet
Alouettes -6.5 (-108)
The Alouettes have been trending upward recently, covering three games in a row, all as a favorite.
The last time they didn't cover was a 37-35 win over the Redblacks as a 9.5-point favorite June 28. After that close call, Montreal won't underestimate Ottawa, and a full effort from the Grey Cup favorite should result in a win by 7-plus points.
I've applied this similar logic when betting on other sports recently (here and here, for example), and laying the points has been profitable. Alouettes -6.5 (-108) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

🔥 More Alouettes vs. Redblacks picks
Under 61 (+100)
Maier should struggle today against the third-ranked pass defense in the CFL (275.4 opponent passing yards per game).
This total closed at just 55.5 the last time these teams played. However, since these teams combined for 72 points (33 of which came in the fourth quarter), the market has overreacted and raised the total by 5.5 points.
This total implies the Redblacks will score 27.25 points, but they've scored 24 or fewer in four of their six games this season. Under 61 (+100) at Caesars is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
