Week 9 of the CFL season opens on Friday night when the struggling Alouettes visit the RedBlacks in Ottawa. The home town RedBlacks opened as high as a -10 point spread favorite, but some buy back on Montreal has the betting line at -9 at most sportsbooks. The total line in this game varies ranging from 48.5 to 49.5 at the betting sites we follow.

Montreal slid to 2-5 both straight-up and against the spread following last week’s 23-12 loss to Edmonton as a 6.5-point road underdog. The total stayed UNDER 51.5 points and it has stayed UNDER in five of the Alouettes’ first seven games behind an offense that is averaging just 18.6 points a game. This unit has now failed to exceed this scoring average in five of its last six tries.

Ottawa returns to action following a much needed bye. The RedBlacks snapped a two-game skid both SU and ATS with a tight 23-20 victory over Edmonton its last time out, but it could not cover in that game as 3.5-point home favorites to fall to 1-4 ATS in its last five contests. The added rest should do wonders for a banged up defense.
