Saskatchewan & Durant in for a Rough Ride

I was possibly thinking that this could be the week that the Alouettes finally drop one at Percival Molson Stadium. But then Darian Durant had to throw a wrench into the "possible" plan.

Durant only got on the field once this week and I saw him after he landed in Montreal, he did not sound good or look good. I cannot in my good mind take the Riders.

The Alouettes on their part have played their best two games on the season at home blowing out Hamilton and Toronto, so they have no given me any indication not to take them.

Plus looking at the line-up changes for the Als, Skip Seagreaves is better than Luc Brodeur-Jourdain and even though Brian Bratton is a big loss to the receiving core, all it means is that SJ Green will be on the field more often. That cannot hurt the Als chances.

Two players to key in on early, #4 of the Riders Darian Durant, It's a cool nice evening in Montreal so heat & humidity will not be a factor, but his stomach virus could affect hime come the 2nd, 3rd anf 4th quarters. The other player is #6 of the Montreal Alouettes Avon Cobourne, he"ll want to continue his success of last week early, he'll want his touches.

The Defence will also be better than Week 1, we will not see over 100 points combined.

Alouettes 37, Roughriders 29
