CFL News:

Montreal enters tonight’s game with a perfect 2-0 record and has been dominant on both sides of the ball, outscoring opponents 67-28. The Alouettes defense has been particularly impressive, allowing just 37 rushing yards per game and 241.5 passing yards per contest. Edmonton is looking to bounce back from their season-opening loss to BC after having a Week 2 bye. Charleston Rambo returns to the Montreal lineup after missing one game for non-injury related reasons, giving quarterback Davis Alexander another weapon in the passing game.

Tonight’s matchup will showcase two contrasting storylines as Montreal looks to extend their perfect start while Edmonton searches for their first victory of the 2025 season. The CFL standings show Montreal tied atop the East Division, while the Elks sit at the bottom of the competitive West Division. CFL betting odds heavily favor the visiting Alouettes, but Edmonton will look to use their home field advantage at Commonwealth Stadium. What are your predictions for tonight’s season opener between these division rivals?
