Alouettes -3
Montreal’s offence is the best in this matchup. Quarterback Davis Alexander completed 72.1 per cent of his passes for 5,257 yards and threw 35 touchdown passes against four interceptions this season. He was named the league’s Most Outstanding Player and threw for 373 yards in a 33-23 win over Winnipeg in the East Final.
The Alouettes cruised to a 48-30 victory when these two teams clashed in Week 10. These teams played also played an incredibly close game in Week 3, which the Elks won 32-29 in overtime. We’re betting Montreal will have a similar result to Week 10, easily covering the 3-point spread.
Alouettes -3 spread
Davis Alexander to win MVP
Alexander is the most direct way to bet on a Montreal win. The league’s Most Outstanding Player threw for 5,257 yards and 35 touchdowns this season with only four interceptions. He was just as sharp in the East Final, throwing for 373 yards and two touchdowns against Winnipeg.
Quarterbacks usually win this award when their team wins. Trevor Harris was the favourite at +155 last year after throwing for 302 yards in Saskatchewan’s win over Montreal, and Cody Fajardo won it with Montreal in 2023. If the Alouettes cover, Alexander is the likeliest winner.
Alexander helped the Alouettes win the 2023 Grey Cup, but failed to claim MVP honours in that contest as the backup quarterback. We’ll bet he gets it done this time around as the primary option under centre.
Alexander to win MVP
Tyler Snead anytime TD
Snead tied Philpot for the league lead with 13 receiving touchdowns and finished second in the CFL with 1,474 receiving yards. Montreal’s passing game is so dominant that Snead does not need to be the first option to find the end zone.
Edmonton’s defence also gives him a path. If the Elks take away Philpot, Snead will likely see more targets in the slot. The Alouettes should be throwing often, and they have the league’s most potent receiving duo to do it.
Snead guaranteed the Alouettes would win this Grey Cup matchup earlier this week, and we’re betting he puts his money where his mouth is and does his part with a touchdown to get the job done.
Tyler Snead anytime TD
