Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats Prediction & Odds: CFL Week 16 Picks for Friday, Sept. 18
📡 SBR Edge: Fade the Tiger-Cats
My Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats prediction includes Alouettes -5.5 (-112) and Under 60.5 (-110). The Tiger-Cats will start third-string quarterback Harrison Frost, as second-stringer Tre Ford is dealing with a head injury, and the Tiger-Cats have struggled to score points since Bo Levi Mitchell was injured.

🏆 Who will win Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats?
I like the Alouettes to beat the Tiger-Cats by eight points Friday. The Alouettes are a +190 betting favorite in the Grey Cup odds, while the Tiger-Cats have the longest odds at +5000. Not only is Montreal the more talented team, but Hamilton will also be rolling out its third-string quarterback, Frost.
Score prediction: Alouettes 34, Tiger-Cats 26
💰 Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats prediction & best bet
Alouettes -5.5 (-112)
The Tiger-Cats have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games, and now they're dealing with an injury to their backup quarterback.
Hamilton will instead start its third-string quarterback, Frost, on Friday, with the banged-up Ford backing him up. And Montreal is the last team you want to face right now if you're not bringing your A-game. The Alouettes are coming off a 19-point loss against BC, and Montreal has won by seven points in each of its last two games after a non-cover.
Alouettes -5.5 (-112) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

Under 60.5 (-110)
While the Alouettes are always a threat to score an obscene amount of points - they lead the CFL with 35.5 points per game - they've scored 29 or fewer in two of their last three contests.
And Hamilton's defense isn't bad. It has allowed 29.5 points per game this season (middle of the pack), despite the offense struggling to sustain long drives. The Tiger-Cats' offense is the real weak link here. Its median scoring output is just 22 points per game since Mitchell was injured in Week 5.
Under 60.5 (-110) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
