Game Overview
The Montreal Alouettes (7-7) host the Calgary Stampeders (8-5) in a crucial late-season CFL matchup. Montreal is slight favorite at home, with both teams having strong defensive records, suggesting a competitive and potentially lower-scoring game.
Key Factors to Consider
- Montreal is balanced with a 7-7 record but boasts a strong defense, leading the league in sacks and low yards allowed per play. Calgary comes off a recent heavy loss (52-23 vs Lions), indicating possible offensive struggles and vulnerabilities.
- Recent results favor tight defensive matchups; Montreal holds a defensive edge, especially at home. Historically, games at Percival Molson have been close, with Montreal slightly favored.
- Montreal welcomes back key corner Lorenzo Burns, enhancing their defensive secondary. Calgary had no significant reported injuries but offensive inefficiencies and turnovers remain a concern.
- The game is played at Montreal's home stadium, providing a home crowd advantage. Weather and field conditions at this time of the year in Montreal typically favor defensive play due to cooler temperatures.
- Montreal is fighting to improve its position in the East division playoffs, while Calgary seeks to rebound urgently after a demoralizing loss and maintain momentum for postseason seeding.
