Quarterback Davis Alexander completed 72.5% of his passes for 2,024 yards with 10 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Tyler Snead led the team with 84 catches for 1,129 yards, while Tyson Philpot added 804 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Montreal’s run game spread the workload between Stevie Scott III and Sean Thomas Erlington, who combined for over 800 rushing yards. The Alouettes allowed 430 points this year and finished 4–5 at home. To move on, the Alouettes will need to make sustained drives on offense and more stops on defense.
Head-to-Head in 2025
Winnipeg won both meetings this season. The Bombers beat Montreal 26–13 in August and 19–10 in October, holding the Alouettes to just 23 total points. In those games, Oliveira topped 100 rushing yards once, and Collaros averaged nearly nine yards per attempt. Montreal struggled to finish drives, scoring only one offensive touchdown across the two matchups.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes Prediction
Winnipeg will be on the road but has experience in postseason elimination games. Collaros is more proven in big games, and Oliveira’s steady rushing will give them control of the tempo. Montreal will stay close by avoiding turnovers, but Winnipeg’s more sustained movement of the chains and enough stops, especially late in the game on defense, will be the difference. Final Score Prediction: Winnipeg Blue Bombers win and cover ATS 25-22.
