T.M. Selection: Montreal Alouettes - ATS

1) I look for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to struggle just to win this revenge game against the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday.

2) Even motivated by last season's loss to Montreal in the Grey Cup, I still believe that the Alouettes are ranked right up there with the Blue Bombers in terms of the most talented teams in the CFL.

3) When considering the line value here, Winnipeg is a bit overestimated by the betting markets because they have revenge and are at home and because they are coming off yet another campaign where they made the Grey Cup, which was the fourth consecutive season.

4) I expect this game to go down to the wire here as Montreal still looks much like last season's team and the Bombers have some personnel losses though they still have guys like QB Collaros to lead them to a win I look for it to be by a slender margin! Huge value with the +7.5 or +8 points!

T.M. Prediction: 25-24 Winnipeg.
