Game Overview
The Montreal Alouettes (3-1) are hosting the BC Lions (1-3) in a key CFL matchup. Montreal holds home-field advantage and positive momentum with a strong 3-1 record, while BC has struggled both on the road and overall, going 1-3. The game is expected to feature disciplined play by Montreal against an inconsistent BC Lions team that boasts an impressive passing attack but is hampered by turnovers and defensive issues.
Key Factors to Consider
- Montreal Alouettes are 3-1 both straight up and against the spread, winning their only home game so far. BC Lions have a 1-3 record both straight up and ATS, and are 0-2 on the road. Montreal averages 29.2 points per game and 21.4 allowed recently, while BC averages around 20.4 points with a higher opponent scoring rate.
- Historically, BC Lions have dominated the matchup with 18 wins to Montreal's 9 since 2010. However, recent form favors Montreal who have covered the spread 80% of the last five meetings and averaged higher points scored. BC has only covered 20% ATS in last five meetings.
- No significant injury information is currently available impacting the starters for either team.
- The match is at Montreal’s home stadium which gives them a strategic advantage. Recent games have shown BC’s defense allowing significant yardage and struggling against efficient Montreal offense. Montreal’s momentum and home crowd support could influence gameplay.
- Montreal aims to consolidate their lead in the East Division with another home win and extend their strong start. BC is motivated to improve their road record and bounce back from recent defeats, particularly addressing turnovers and defensive lapses.
