Alouettes Keys to the GameKeep Davis Alexander Efficient and Clean
Alexander has been killing it this season, and as long as he continues to do so, Montreal should be in contention for the Grey Cup.
Keep Running the Ball
Theis had a strong 123-yard, 1-touchdown performance against Calgary, adding duality to the threat that is Montreal’s offense.
Contain Taylor Ford’s Dual-Threat Ability
Ford can be dangerous on the ground, as was on display last week with his 109 rushing yards. Montreal needs to get pressure on him in a way that contains him from escaping.
Lockdown Coverage
Hamilton’s receivers are dangerous but are playing without Bo Levi Mitchell. The Alouettes need their secondary to prevent receivers from getting open for big plays.

Score Prediction:
I am predicting the Montreal Alouettes to win 35-27. Montreal should have enough firepower and balance to overcome a Hamilton who are without Bo Levi Mitchell.
