Alouettes Host Roughriders in Rematch of Grey Cup

After facing each other in both of the last two Grey Cups, the Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders renew rivalries Sunday at the Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.

This game sets up to be a bit different from the previous championship games as the Roughriders have fallen to 0-3 to start the CFL season while the Als are a perfect 3-0. The two played in Week 2 with Montreal taking the victory.

Saskatchewan has hardly made it difficult for their opponents, not coming closer than 14 points in any of their losses. The Roughriders have 15/1 odds of winning the Grey Cup.

Montreal, on the other hand, has gotten better each game. Last Friday Anthony Calvillo became the CFL?s all-time touchdown pass leader, connecting with Eric Deslauriers in the end zone for his 395th career touchdown pass, toppling Damon Allen?s record. Calvillo added another one before the night was done. The Alouettes CFL futures give them 3/2 odds of winning the Grey Cup.

It won?t be that easy for Montreal though. Roughrider linebacker Sean Lucas is second in the league in tackles going into Week 4 while on the offensive side, Wes Cates is fifth in the league with 148 rushing yards, and against Hamilton last weekend, wide receiver Efrem Hill and slot-back Chris Getzlaf combined for 137 yards on seven receptions.

Bet CFL with Bodog.
