Tiger-Cats vs Alouettes Betting Preview
Two teams peaking at the right time will start the CFL playoffs on Sunday when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats visit the Montreal Alouettes. Montreal won two of the three meetings between the teams this season.
The Tiger-Cats enter the game having won five of their final six games to get into the playoffs, but the lone loss came against these same Alouettes when they were defeated 23-16. It did come on the heels of Hamilton’s upset of Winnipeg, so can be forgiven a bit. Hamilton may not have been thinking about the playoffs at that point in the season, as it also took a monumental collapse from Saskatchewan for the Tiger-Cats to reach the postseason.

Hamilton’s fortunes will fall on the shoulders of quarterback Dane Evans, who can be great at times, but those are a little few and far between. Down the stretch, Evans threw just 1 TD pass in the team’s final five games, with four of those pretty much must-win games. He did throw for 5 TDs against Winnipeg right before that.
Montreal finished the season on a 7-3 run after a 2-6 start, so the Aloettes are also playing well right now. With Hamilton tough to run against, the Alouettes will look to Trevor Harris to have a big game. He did throw for a pair of touchdowns the last time these two met to led Montreal to the win, even though Hamilton out-gained the Alouettes by 50 yards.

Tiger-Cats vs Alouettes Pick & Prediction
The line of this one is pretty much where it should be, as there isn’t a huge difference in overall talent of the two teams. The total seems a bit low, but teams could be a little more conservative with so much at stake. With all three games decided by a touchdown or less, will look for another close game here and take a shot on the underdog.
