Stephen Nover's CFL Big Friday Casher
(CFL) Montreal vs. Edmonton,
Point Spread: 8.00 | -107.00 Montreal (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 8.00 | -107.00 Montreal (Away)
Result: Win
The spread is where it is in part because Montreal fired its coach, Mike Sherman, right before the season.
Sherman was a bad hire, though. The only time the guy could win was when he had Brett Favre in Green Bay.
Interim coach Khari Jones is a much better fit for the Alouettes. Jones knows the CFL. Sherman didn't.
The Alouettes have underrated talent and a knack for covering numbers. They are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games.
Edmonton endured a difficult off-season losing a number of key players, including star quarterback Mike Reilly. I don't see the Eskimos being an early-season powerhouse where they can cover this high of a spread. The Eskimos do not have a good June history either. They are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 June games.
