While the Alouettes have gone 1-3 in their last four games, Edmonton has bounced back from a terrible stretch and has won two of their last three games.

Montreal will always enter a game with a legitimate chance to win thanks to Anthony Calvillo and the league’s leading receiver Jamal Richardson who has amassed 69 catches and 1080 yards so far this season. Montreal’s offense has been strong in every game this year but the defense has become their Achilles heel. The Alouettes gave up 430 yards to Winnipeg last week and make Buck Pierce look All-World along the way.

Edmonton has shaken a bad streak and has reasserted themselves as a front runner in the Western Conference. It is no coincidence that the return of WR Fred Stamps to the lineup has sparked the team once again. [ad-4437448]

Edmonton struggled mightily when he was out with injury but since his return, the Eskimos look like a totally different team. Stamps had an incredible 14 catches in a win last week versus Hamilton for 130 yards. The Edmonton defense appears to be rounding back into form as well. This unit allowed just 269 yards total to the Tiger-Cats last week.

Betting Prediction: Friday night’s matchup features two of the best QBs in the CFL – chances are that there will be some fireworks. Montreal has had a lot of success versus Edmonton including a 27-4 beat down earlier this year. The Als are now 5-1 SU in their last six games against Edmonton. However, the Eskimos are 7-2 SU in their last nine home games versus Montreal and are 6-2 SU in their last eight games overall at home.

This game could go either way. Edmonton is healthy and hitting on all cylinders at the moment – Jerome Messam out of the backfield and Fred Stamps out wide. With injuries on Montreal’s defense, this game is Edmonton’s to lose. The Eskimos are picking up steam and looking like a complete squad again. Take the home team!

Pick: Edmonton Eskimos +1
