Montreal is catching Saskatchewan at the right time in a renewal of last year’s championship clash.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders visit the Montreal Alouettes on Thanksgiving Monday in a rematch of the 2025 Grey Cup.
Montreal continues to dominate at home and enters as the Grey Cup favorite in the CFL odds, while Saskatchewan looks to snap a three-game losing streak.
Find out why I’m backing the Als as 4.5-point favorites in my Roughriders vs. Alouettes predictions and CFL picks for Oct. 12.
Who will win Roughriders vs Alouettes: Alouettes -4.5 (-112)
The long-awaited 2025 Grey Cup rematch is finally here.
However, I don’t expect the same result as last November. The Montreal Alouettes are a perfect 8-0 at home, have covered in three of their last four and seven of their last 10, and have won four of the last five regular-season meetings. They’re also 11-4-0 ATS this season.
A minuscule 4.5-point spread is selling the Grey Cup favorites short. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have struggled mightily of late, losing three straight and five of their last seven.

Roughriders vs Alouettes total prediction: Over 57.5 (-108)
The Over is becoming synonymous with the Alouettes.
Although the Riders have been mired in an offensive slump, the Als have cashed the Over in six of seven and are a league-best 12-3-0 O/U this season. They’ve allowed 28 points per game this season and have hit that mark themselves in 10 straight.
Saskatchewan’s 7-8-0 O/U record leaves a bit to be desired, but I expect Montreal to do most of the work at home. 57.5 is a low line for a game featuring the second-highest scoring team in the CFL.
Roughriders vs Alouettes same-game parlay
Saskatchewan put up a respectable 31 points against the high-scoring Calgary Stampeders last week but has now lost three straight. The Riders are understandably underdogs against the current Grey Cup favorite.
While Trevor Harris and company are enduring their worst stretch of the season, even a couple of scores should be enough to push this game comfortably Over.
