Alouettes Keys to the Game
Contain the Run Game
Justin Rankin had a strong Week 1 with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Get to Fajardo
Fajardo can make some good plays under pressure and willing to step into hits to make a play. Montreal will want to limit his time to throw effectively.
Continue the Passing Attack
Alexander is testing it up and has a chance to tie the record for most consecutive wins by a CFL starting quarterback at 14.

Score Prediction:
I predict Montreal to win 30-24. Montreal is looking unstoppable in the passing game right now, but if Edmonton can disrupt Montreal’s passing game, they could surprise the Alouettes.
