Blue Bombers vs. Alouettes Prediction & Odds: CFL Eastern Semifinal Betting Preview

My Blue Bombers vs. Alouettes prediction focuses on the home side, with Davis Alexander going for his fourth straight cover. 

My CFL prediction backs the Alouettes as a 5.5-point betting favorite on Saturday, with kickoff from Percival Molson Memorial Stadium in Montreal set for 2 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). My CFL picks also feature a four-star TD prop on an Alouettes wideout.

🆚 Who will win Blue Bombers vs. Alouettes?

The Alouettes are 3-0 straight up in Alexander's last three starts since he returned from a hamstring injury on Sept. 26 against the Calgary Stampeders, winning by an average margin of 16.3 points per game.

While the Alouettes will likely cash as a -245 moneyline favorite, the recommended play is to lay the points at greater odds.

Prediction: Alouettes 28, Blue Bombers 19

✅ Blue Bombers vs. Alouettes expert pick

🏈 Alouettes -5.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alexander is 11-0 straight up as a starter - the QB record for most consecutive wins to start a career - and the Alouettes have covered all three of his starts since he returned from injury on Sept. 26.

Winnipeg has made the playoffs for the ninth straight season, but these are not the Blue Bombers of seasons past. They needed a crossover to make the postseason, and that's more a reflection of how poorly the Toronto Argonauts played than a positive for the Blue Bombers. Winnipeg failed to cover two of its last three games, and the cover came in a meaningless home game against the Alouettes in Week 21, with both teams playing backups.

🔥 Austin Mack to score a TD ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alouettes wide receiver Austin Mack has scored a touchdown in each of his last two games with Alexander starting, including a Week 20 win over the Ottawa Redblacks, when he caught five passes on eight targets for 108 yards (21.6 yards per catch). While the Blue Bombers have allowed 18 or fewer points in four of their last five games, this price is too good to pass up and should be closer to even money.

The best odds available at the time of publication for Mack to score a touchdown are +160 at FanDuel. A winning $10 bet would profit $16 with an implied probability of 38.46%.
