The Saskatchewan Roughriders head to Montreal for not only the opening game for each club, but the first game period of the 2017 CFL regular season. The host Alouettes opened as a -6 point favorite for this Week 1 game and the betting action has driven that line up a point to -6.5. The total is on the CFL odds board at 50 points.

Saskatchewan showed some signs of life late in the 2016 with a four-game winning streak both straight-up and against the spread as part of an overall record of just 5-13. The Roughriders lost both games against Montreal last season (SU and ATS) and this year they will try and get off to a fast start with veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn at the helm after coming over from Winnipeg. Look for Glenn to try and get the ball to Duron Carter and Naaman Roosevelt as much as possible on Thursday night.
