The Toronto Argonauts are set to open their 2026 season on the road, and it won’t come easy when they travel to La Belle Province to take on the reigning East Division champion Montreal Alouettes.
My Argonauts vs. Alouettes predictions expect a rusty Toronto side to fall behind early and have a tough time keeping up with their East Division foes.

Argonauts vs Alouettes prediction
Argonauts vs Alouettes best bet: Alouettes -6.5 (-110)
The Montreal Alouettes are fresh off an exhilarating OT victory in Hamilton, and Friday's home opener comes against a Toronto Argonauts squad that could have a tough time hitting the ground running.
Former Argos head coach Ryan Dinwiddie is now in Ottawa, and Chad Kelly is set to make his first regular-season start since 2024 after missing all of last year recovering from a fractured tibia and fibula.
Montreal has won three straight games against Toronto, and the Als' offense will exploit an Argos team that surrendered 32.4 points per game last season, dead-last in the CFL.
I have no problem backing Montreal as near-touchdown favorites, and I’d play this up to -120.

Argonauts vs Alouettes same-game parlay
Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander had no issues airing it out in Hamilton last week, but an 80% chance of rain and potential thunderstorms could set up a run-heavy game script for both sides at Percival Molson Stadium.
Montreal’s ground game will have little trouble finding success against an Argos team that allowed the second-most rushing yards per game (105.7) last season, especially with defensive tackle DeWayne Hendrix sidelined for this contest.
Meanwhile, Toronto’s O-line was the worst in the CFL last year, and the Argos only averaged 3.9 yards per rush in 2025. If Mother Nature has her say, the Alouettes are set to pull away in a low-scoring contest.
