YTD: 0-1
The good news about losing a cover by about 5 touchdowns is there is nowhere to go but up.
Montreal -6.5
Montreal was embarrassed last week. They were manhandled on both sides of the ball and looked flat and lethargic. This team is too experienced and too well-coached to come out and lay another egg. I'm almost certain this team is going to come out hungry and energized in this game. Maybe it won't be enough because they really have slipped? That's a fair question and I guess we shall see. However going out on the road against a good offense with a new defense wasn't really a good place for this Als D last week and it showed. Now back at home against a much weaker Winnipeg offense I think they will be much, much better. The Als offense also looked woefully out of sync last week. Calvillo only threw 10 passes with this group in the preseason which was strange considering this is a timing and rhythm based offense. This should be more in-sync here this week at home.
I said last week I thought it was going to be a disastrous year in Winnipeg and I saw nothing in Week 1 that made my rethink that thought. This offense has a serious lack of playmakers and Bucky is already playing with a bum knee. The defense played pretty well last week and yet they still collapsed late and gave up 33 points because the offense couldn't stay on the field.
Maybe Montreal aren't as good as they have been in the past but historically this is a spot they have come out and laid the wood to teams, especially weak teams like Winnipeg. If they falter here then I guess they really are just a mediocre team now.
