Point Spread: -3.00 | -115.00 British Columbia (Away)
Result: Win
Underdogs are a perfect 8-0 ATS heading into this Week 3 of the Canadian Football League season. Look for that 'dog streak to end right here, however, with British Columbia laying a field goal on the road to Montreal.
BC's defense has improved. Montreal's defense was good last year. It's good again this season. However, the Alouettes remain stuck on netural offensively. Montreal has scored just three touchdowns in two games, averaging only 18 points a game. That's not good in the NFL and it's downright terrible in the more wide open CFL.
I like BC quarterback Jonathon Jennings far more than Montreal's past-his-prime QB Darian Durant. Montreal's defense was on the field for nearly 35 minutes during the team's 23-19 road loss to Edmonton six days ago. So there could be a fatigue factor.
The Lions' offensive line looked much better in the second half of their 28-15 road victory against Toronto last Friday. Montreal didn't allow Durant to get sacked last week, but surrendered the most sacks last season with 64. The Als have been working hard to establish a ground attack, which has been unsuccessful up to this point. If this continues, their offensive line will get exposed in pass protection when the team is forced to throw more.
