The Bombers had to play two games within a five-day span last week, with predictable results. Winnipeg dropped a 23-17 home decision to the defending Grey Cup champions Saskatchewan Roughriders on Aug. 7, then suffered a 38-21 setback in Toronto on Aug. 12.

The Bombers will now be well rested and ready for an explosive performance when they host the Montreal Alouettes (1-6) on Friday night.West teams have dominated their Eastern brethren, amassing an amazing 20-3 sU head-to-head record.

Getting points have been a problem for a Montreal offence averaging a league-low 15.8 per game, and wont get much better as starting QB Troy Smith is down with an injury and will have to use Alex Brink who went just 19-31 last week . While Winnipeg seems to be able to generate alot of offense, when in a groove especially through the air (2nd in the league) behind QB Willy. The Bombers came from behind for a 34-33 victory earlier this season when the teams met, but Im betting the Bombers will be well prepared to take down the Als tonight in much more decisive fashion in front of their home town fans.

 It's a very difficult proposition for a West Coast side trying to win back to back games ATS on the road. The Eskies took out Montreal last week 33-23 and covered, but this week Im betting on Ottawa standing tall and making a game out of this , much like they did earlier this season against Toronto and got the 18-17 win and cover. The Red Blacks at home, on their own turf will be much more formidable than many pundits might believe. 

*Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win
