Montreal Alouettes game today:For those wondering about the Montreal Alouettes game today, it’s scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 5, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats game today:The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will face off against the Montreal Alouettes in this match at Tim Hortons Field.

Here’s the rundown of today’s game:

Als quarterback Cody Fajardo is in the spotlight, aiming to rebound from a less-than-stellar 158-yard performance last week. Watch out for receivers Austin Mack and Tyler Snead, who are key players for the Alouettes’ offensive success. However, Hamilton’s defence ranks seventh in both yards given up through the air and on the ground, so it’s definitely not going to be a walk in the park for Montreal.

On the flip side, Hamilton’s Taylor Powell, who will be back under centre, is supported by an offensive line that has allowed the third-fewest sacks with 14. However, with the Alouettes defense currently in the middle of the league against the pass and the run, Powell and his receivers, including D’Haquille Williams and Kai Locksley, will need to up their game.

With the Alouettes being favoured by 2.5 points, the bookmakers are forecasting a close contest. Considering the strengths of the Als’ defense and the uncertainties in Hamilton’s offensive line, the under bet of 45 points could be a wise move. However, bettors should always consider current form, injuries, and team strategies before placing any bets.

Given the Alouettes’ impressive defensive prowess and the strong performances of their key players, they are the favourites for this encounter. However, considering the Tiger-Cats’ home advantage and their recent improvements, this game could go down to the wire. Ultimately, our prediction leans towards a low-scoring match with a scoreline of Alouettes 23-20 Tiger-Cats.

This game could significantly alter the CFL standings in the East Division. Currently, Toronto leads the East Division with a 6-1 record, while both Montreal and Hamilton are tied at 3-4. A win for either side would see them climb up the ladder and challenge Toronto for the top spot.
