The Bombers are in Montreal Today. They are the last team to beat The Alouettes with Anthony Calvillo under centre at home. Will it happen again?
I don't think so, however don't expect this game to be a walk for the Als.
The Blue Bombers are coming off an emotional victory over the Lions last monday and Stephen Jyles knows he has the support of his teammates behind hm as the starter. The Alouettes are one victory away form clinching the East and they still have Hamilton and a pair against Toronto left, so The division is in the bag.
The Als injuries may show more this week compared to last. Look for Paul LAPolice to line up Doug Brown up against Luc Brodeur-Jourdain and Andrew Woodruff, It should be an interesting match-up.
We've already seen the Bombers get to AC this year (see rib injury).
If the Als do run away with this one, that means Avon Cobourne will be running early and often and well.
I suspect the with October in full swing and November around the corner, Cobourne will be playing a bigger role for the Als.
Can't go against the Als at home, however it'll be tight and a fun gam eto watch
Als 38-36 over the Bombers

Cobourne's Running Trend
Sorry that I missed my post game Alservations following the Als 41-10 victory over Toronto, but there really wasn't much to say. The Als as predicted are a much better team than the Argos.
It was good for Alouette fans to see the Avon Cobourne still has it, not that there was any doubt but its always a positive sign when one of the keys to the Alouettes Offence plays such a dominant role.
28 touches (20 rushes and 8 receptions) tied a career high for Cobourne who in 2008 v Win and 2009 v Ham was able to handle the ball that many times.
However this Friday the Alouettes have the fun task of facing the 4-1 Saskatchewan Roughriders, who topped the Als 54-51 Classic in the 2010 CFL Kick-Off Markee Match-up.
It seems at least against The Roughriders, As Avon Cobourne goes as do the Alouettes.
Since week 3 of 2009 The Alouettes have faced the Roughriders 4 times, with Friday's contest being #5.
In week 3 of 2009, Avon Cobourne ran for 146 yards, the Als won by 33 points.
In week 8 of 2009, Avon Cobourne ran for 101 yards, the Als won by 9 points.
In The Grey Cup of 2009, Avon Cobourne ran for 85 yards, the Als won by 1 point.
In week 1 of 2010, Avon Cobourne ran for 39 yards, the als lost by 3 points.
By golly has Ken Miller figured the secret code to unlocking the Alouettes amazing offence... maybe, just maybe. it is clear over the last year and change Miller has been able to adjust his strategy to improve each time he's faced the Als.
It's now Marc Trestman's turn.

Hungry for Home Cooking
The Alouettes offence is ready to go. They are primed for an outburst. They want to score touchdowns.
After scoring 51 points in a double OT loss in week 1, the Als O has dropped down to 33 points in week 2 and then 16 in week 3. But starting on the season on the road for three straight weeks the Als are coming home with a 2-1 record.
The newly renovated Percival Molson Stadium will allow 5000 more fans to witness the leagues top offence unit work. The Alouettes know how to score at home. They havent hosted a regular season football game since November 1st, and they put up 48 points on Winnipeg. If you want to throw in the East Final, The Als embarassed the Lions by scoring 56 at the Big O. Prior to that, The Als put up 41 against Hamilton at home. This was pretty much the story for the Als at Home in 2009.
If you really think about it the last time the Als lost at home was to the Calgary Stampeders in The 2008 Grey Cup on November 23rd, 2008. The last loss at McGill Stadium a month earlier in a meaningless game aginst Winnipeg 24-23.
The Als, simply put, win at home. The Alouettes offence, simply put, score at home.
Offensively through three weeks the numbers aren't great for the players.
-Avon Cobourne is 8th in rushing, he trails a group that includes Win QB Buck Pierce. The only starting RB he's out rushing is the Ti-cats DeAndra Cobb.
-No receiver on the Als have more than 13 receptions.
-Anthony Calvillo only has 6 TD passes this year, 4 came in week 1.
All that being said with the over-under sitting at 52, take the over. The Als will be having some Home-cooking in their opener.

It's Getting Ugly
The Als Playoff Beards are in full effect. Some of them are getting quite straggly. Some players have decided to maintain the chaos. However I do think that Duval, Flory and Cobourne take the cake for unkept facial madness.
Duval did the curtosy beard stoke for quick maintenance before posing.
Flory says his not only feels like velcro, but actually works better than velcro

Avon has started wearing the tight hoody to protect himself form his own beard
