I like Montreal to spring a minor upset here. The Alouettes are off a bye and have the superior QB in Cody Fajardo, who looked good in his Montreal debut in Week 1.

Hamilton is without starting QB Bo Levi Mitchell, who is injured. Montreal has tape on Tiger-Cats' backup QB Matthew Shiltz.

The extra week of preparation should really help the Alouettes and Fajardo as he gets more in sync with his new team and receivers.

Montreal's defense looked good in its 19-12 opening week win against Ottawa. It was the top defensive performance of the week, according to Pro Football Focus.

The Alouettes are a strong road team covering 24 of the past 35 times. Hamilton has covered just once in its last eight Eastern Conference games.
