Montreal -1.5 over Toronto (Game)
Montreal -1 over Toronto (First Half)
This is the third meeting between these teams this season. Montreal won both previous games by scores of 19-9 and 22-10. The only other team that Montreal has held to 10 points or less was Edmonton in the season opener.
With a home playoff game next week versus Hamilton, Toronto will be resting at least five starters including kicker/punter Prefontaine. They are also expected to start Bishop at QB in favor of Damon Allen although Allen should see some action in the second half. This is the 4th game in 18 days for both teams but Toronto has had the more grueling schedule of the two including four instances where they had to play three games within 11 days.
Montreal will host the East Division final in two weeks so they are more likely to keep their starters in longer here. Also, Montreal hasn't defeated a playoff team since Sept 12 when they beat Hamilton so I suspect this game means more to them.
CFL Record: 8-1
