Alouettes/Stampeders clash set for Saturday
In betting circles, handicappers will tell you small home dogs pack a mean bite. The Stampeders look to sink their teeth into the favored Alouettes Saturday as 4-point underdogs.
Sporting a 6-6 overall record and a 3-2 mark within the division, the Alouettes aim to knock the Stampeders (4-3 In the division) for a loss.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 54.5. That will require lots of offence - and porous defence - to surpass. Calgary, 8-5 ATS on the season, opens as a dog to the 5-7 visitors.
The Alouettes come off a 42-23 win against the Blue Bombers, a game where they were a 10-point favorites. The game went over the closing total of 60.
Tom Higgins's team hopes to build upon a 45-23 win over Ottawa. They were 7-point favorites and covered the spread. The game went over the total.
Expect Montreal to try to air it out on the Stampeders' pass defence. They come in with the league's #1 passing attack, averaging 340.0 yards per game, and will be looking to show it off
