Analysis:
It's just Week 2 of the Canadian Football League season, but already Montreal is down to its fourth and fifth-string quarterbacks in rookies Rakeem Cato and Brandon Bridge.
The Alouettes are missing Dan LeFevour, out for the season following shoulder surgery, and Jonathan Crompton, who is on the six-game injured list also with a shoulder injury. These injuries would have resulted in Tanner Marsh becoming the starter, but he's out with a sprained knee leaving Cato and Bridge.
Montreal could manage just 16 points in its opener, a 20-16 loss to Ottawa. The Redblacks are just in their second season having won two games a year ago.
Now the Alouettes step way up in class taking on the defending Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders.
Montreal knows it can only stay in this game with an outstanding defensive effort. So expect a conservative offense and prime defensive effort. Being at home should help. Calgary also is in a flat spot having just defeated Hamilton in what was a rematch of last season's title game.
Note that the under has cashed in 18 of Montreal's last 25 games for 72 percent.
