Agatha's pick for Alouettes vs Roughriders

The Alouettes. Agatha gave Montreal a 61% chance to win. It was Agatha's prediction for this game, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picked the Alouettes

The latest meeting decides it: the Montreal Alouettes won 44-24 on Oct 12, 2026, and have taken four of the six meetings since Jul 25, 2024. The Alouettes have won three games in a row, and the Roughriders have lost four in a row. The Alouettes are 13-3 this season, the Roughriders 8-8. Agatha has the Alouettes winning 31-27, close to a 6-in-10 chance. The risk is the Roughriders' home ground, Mosaic Stadium in Regina, and the Alouettes' 48-29 loss to the BC Lions on Sep 12.
