Roughriders at Alouettes 8/9/19 - CFL Picks & Predictions

The Roughriders were able to pick up a win in their last game out. Yes, it was a win against a road weary Tiger-cats team, but it was a win nonetheless. What else helped out was the way the Roughriders offense was able to close out the game and help them in locking down the win rather easily.

The passing attack of the Alouettes seemed to have went missing in the last game. Vernon Adams Jr. was able to get 120 yards in the air, but was picked off. Antonio Pipkin threw the ball for 57 yards in the game. William Stanback ended up carrying the ball 12 times for a total of 88 yards and no scores. The rushing scores belonged to Adams Jr. with 2 touchdowns.

The Roughriders have a decent offense and a blooming quarterback in Fajardo. Look for him to be able to guide the Roughriders again in this game here, but what will really be interesting for the Roughriders is how well the defense holds up against the pass anemic offense of the Alouettes here. The lack of a passing game will be an issue for the Alouettes in this game here and prevent them from playing strong. Final Score Prediction, Saskatchewan Roughriders win and cover ATS 26-17.
