Alouettes at Eskimos 8/18/18 - CFL Picks & Predictions

Sitting at 1-7 overall and coming off a close loss to the Ottawa Redblacks, the Montreal Alouettes head west to battle the Edmonton Eskimos. In a season that is quickly becoming a lost one, a victory over the Eskimos would be a huge confidence booster for the Alouettes.

Mike Reilly is having another solid season at Quarterback for the Eskimos and has thrown for 2622 yards, 16 touchdowns and 8 interceptions on the year. D'haquille Williams (41 receptions, 759 yards, 5 touchdowns) and Derel Walker (42 receptions, 734 yards, 6 touchdowns) are a solid receiving duo for the Eskimos. CJ Gable is the leading rusher for the Eskimos and has 104 carries for 532 yards and 2 touchdowns on the year.

Clearly this Montreal is a year or more away from competing at top level of teams like Edmonton, but even that is not enough for Eskimos to cover this big spread. Last week Alouettes covered similar number and think Johny Manziel shows another improved outing in closer than expected game. Final Score Prediction, Edmonton Eskimos win but fall short ATS 30-22.
