Montreal has the worst defense in the Canadain Football League - and it is getting worse not better. The Alouettes have given up 94 points in their last two games. They lack the talent and desire to keep Ottawa in check.

The Redblacks are coming off a brutal 42-41 loss to Toronto in which they blew a 24-point third quarter lead. This should assure that the Redblacks keep on the attack the entire time against Montreal. The Alouettes are going to encounter difficulty covering Ottawa wide receivers Diontae Spencer and Brad Sinopoli.

This will be Johnny Manziel's second start for Montreal. He brings a big-play dimension to the team - and also a pick-six dimension with his gunslinging. It should be encouraging for Montreal's floundering offense, though, that the Argos scored on six of their seven second-half possessions during their comeback victory against the Redblacks.
