Ron’s Preview: The Montreal Alouettes started the 2009 season by settling a score with the defending Grey Cup Champions Calgary Stampeders; as the Alouettes blasted the Stamps 40-27 at McMahon Stadium in front of their fans. In fact, they gave John Hufnagel and his Stampeders a wake up call, the Grey Cup party is officially over! The Montreal Alouettes looked outstanding on offense last weekend, Anthony Calvillo showed no signs of aging by throwing for 255 yards and completing 24 of 32 attempts. The running game was established early which set the tone, as Avon Cobourne ran for over 107 yards on 19 carries. Damon Duval was 6 for 6 on field goals and finished the night with 20 points and come to think about it after the fact, was the unsung hero of the night. The Edmonton Eskimos escaped a close call last week vs. the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as newly acquired Running back Jesse Lumsden was injured early in the first quarter and it really set the Eskimos back the entire game, as they never established a running game after he left. In fact, the Eskimos rushed for 33 yards the entire game, which force Ricky Ray to throw the ball often, as Ray completed 41 of 29 passes for 318 yards.

The offshore sportsbook have made the Alouettes a -5.5 point favorite this Thursday vs. the Edmonton Eskimos, and Edmonton is 6-8-1 ATS and 5-10 SU in their last 15 trips to La Belle Province vs. the Als. Plus, Edmonton is 3-6-1 ATS and 3-7 SU in their last 10 road trips going back to last year, while Montreal is 5-5-0 ATS and 7-3 SU in their last 10 games at Molson Stadium. If history tells us anything, we might be in for another defensive battle, as the UNDER is 9-1-0 for the Alouettes vs. Western division teams at home, while the UNDER is 8-2-0 for Edmonton in their last 10 trips down East.
