BC Lions Form

BC enter this matchup looking to build on last week’s win, which ended a five-game losing sequence and improved their record to 6-6.

The Lions opened the season with a defeat, only to respond with five consecutive wins as they kick-started their quest to make the playoffs.

Their run was ended by a 25-24 defeat in Calgary in their final game before their first bye week, and they failed to bounce back when they returned to action.

BC went five games without a victory, losing 25-0 in Winnipeg, 33-16 at Edmonton, 20-11 at home to Winnipeg, and 34-27 in Ottawa.

The Lions finally ended that slump last week, as they avenged their previously mentioned defeat to the Redblacks with a 38-12 win at home.

Montreal Alouettes Form

Montreal come into this game riding a five-game win streak – their second of the 2024 regular season.

The Alouettes opened up with five consecutive victories, before entering their first bye week of the season on the back of a 37-18 defeat to Toronto.

The defending champions rebounded quickly though, making a winning return to action with a 20-16 victory over Saskatchewan.

Montreal then backed that up with back-to-back wins over Hamilton, beating the Tiger-Cats 33-16 on the road and 33-23 at home.

The Alouettes then took their winning run to five games as they went out on the road to beat Saskatchewan 27-24, before returning home to down Edmonton, 21-17.

Verdict

BC Lions @ MON Alouettes

Montreal continue to pile up wins and, more often than not, they have covered the spread in victory.

We expect those trends to continue against a BC team who have lost each of their last three road games without covering.
