Key Storylines
Recent form
- Winnipeg is 5-4 after a win last week over the Ottawa Redblacks. They have struggled to build on recent wins and will try to string together multiple wins in a row here.
- Montreal comes in at 5-5. They dropped their last outing 36-18 at BC Place on August 16. The Als have lost three games in a row and need to bounce back here to avoid falling below the .500 mark.
- The injury timeline for Montreal quarterback Davis Alexander is not moving along quickly enough. Montreal has lost three straight games and backup quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson has not been good enough in his place.
Quarterback play
- Winnipeg’s offense is led by Zach Collaros. He has struggled with injuries and turnover issues so far this year. But he is still a better option than Chris Streveler and will look for a big win this week.
- Bethel-Thompson has thrown just four touchdown passes in nine appearances this season. He needs to be better in Alexander’s absence this week or Montreal’s losing streak will continue.
Betting Trends & H2H
- Montreal is 5-5 straight up this season and 4-6 against the spread.
- Winnipeg is 5-4 both straight up and against the spread in 2025.
- Winnipeg has gone 4-1 at home so far this season.
- Montreal is 3-2 in their away games thus far.

Final Thoughts
The Blue Bombers have struggled to play consistent football this year. But the Alouettes are playing consistently bad football right now. Alexander’s absence should continue to be a problem for Montreal and I don’t think that Bethel-Thompson has enough in the tank to change this team’s short-term trajectory. I will lay the points with the Blue Bombers here as they should be able to take advantage of the Als’ quarterback situation.
