<p>
The Alouettes will battle the Eskimos for the first time this season when they travel to Edmonton for a Thursday night kickoff at Commonwealth Stadium. The consensus line on this game has the Eskimos favored by 7 points with a total line of 51.

Montreal remains a tough team to figure out the past few weeks, especially on offense. Behind quarterback Kevin Glenn, the Alouettes rolled over Saskatchewan 41-3 at home before getting blowout by British Columbia 38-18 on their home field last week. In last week’s loss, Glenn threw for 231 yards and a score and Duron Carter hauled in seven catches for 115 yards, but Montreal failed to show up in the fourth quarter and got outscored 15-0 over the final 15 minutes of play.

<p>
The Eskimos are another puzzler right now with a straight-up three-game losing streak. At 2-4 on the year both SU and against the spread, they have already matched last season’s loss total for the entire regular season.

Montreal Alouettes at Edmonton Eskimos Free Pick

Mike Reilly leads the CFL in passing yards this season with 2,181, but he only completed 61 percent of his 41 attempts in last week’s 23-20 loss to Ottawa for 255 yards. I am still going to take Edmonton to cover the seven points at home in what boils down to be a ‘lesser than two evils’ pick.
