Hamilton is averaging just 14.7 PPG in its last three outings, and the last time they were on the road against a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/cfl\/grey-cup-odds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grey Cup odds<\/a> favorite, they were blown out.<\/p>\n<p>This game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/sport\/football\/cfl\/teams\/main\/montreal-alouettes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Montreal Alouettes<\/a> should go pretty similarly to that 38-7 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Als&#8217; offense is dominant &#8211; No. 2 in PPG (34.7) and No. 1 in yards per game (460.7) &#8211; and Hamilton just won&#8217;t be able to keep up.<\/p>\n<p>With Davis Alexander at the helm, Montreal should be capable of scoring 30+ at home, while Hamilton will likely struggle to put up more than 20. The Tiger-Cats average league lows in PPG (24.8) and yards per game (340.0).<\/p>\n<p>Though this is a large spread for the Alouettes to cover, they&#8217;re 4-2 ATS this season and have a clear advantage here. However, I&#8217;d avoid betting Montreal if this spread goes beyond -12.5.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=covers.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"googleLink border-0 bg-lighter rounded-2 py-2 px-3 d-flex gap-2 justify-content-between align-items-center mb-5\" data-linkcont=\"Article-Google-Preferences-Click\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Enjoying Covers content?

The Tiger-Cats have the worst offense in the CFL, and have scored fewer than 14 points in two of their last three games &#8211; they&#8217;ve hit the Under in three straight.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just Hamilton&#8217;s no-show offense that should help the Under hit; its defense has been competent this season. The Tiger-Cats are allowing the third-fewest PPG in the league (26.5) and the fourth-fewest yards (374.2).<\/p>\n<p>If the Tiger-Cats can hold Montreal to fewer than 35 points, their offense should do the rest of the work for the Under.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Under is worth considering as long as this game total stays above 54.5.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1785082690_628_logo.png\" alt=\"Covers\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\/> COVERS INTEL: Since 2023, the Alouettes are 7-2-1 ATS when playing the Tiger-Cats.<\/p>\n<p>Tiger-Cats vs Alouettes same-game parlay<\/p>\n<p>With the way the Alouettes are playing, they&#8217;re in good shape to win this game in the range of 34-10.
