Quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson has passed for 1,327 yards with 6 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, completing 67% of his passes. Bethel-Thompson has shared work under center with Davis Alexander, who has completed 72.7% of his passes for 1.106 yards with 6 TDs and 3 INTs.

On the ground, Sean Thomas Erlington leads with 386 rushing yards and two scores, while Travis Theis adds 365 yards at over five yards per carry. That balance has kept defenses honest. In the receiving corps, Tyler Snead is the top option with 62 catches for 789 yards and three touchdowns. Cole Spieker and Tyson Philpot provide red-zone reliability, combining for nine touchdowns. Defensively, Montreal has forced an interception in six straight games.

Toronto Argonauts Preview

Nick Arbuckle drives the Toronto offense, throwing for 4,089 yards with 25 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Accuracy has been strong at nearly 72.5%, but interceptions have killed momentum. Arbuckle has leaned heavily on Damonte Coxie, who leads with 854 yards receiving and six scores, while Dejon Brissett and Kevin Mital round out a productive receiving trio.

The run game is secondary but effective, as Spencer Brown has averaged 5.4 yards per carry (214 yards) on limited touches. Toronto’s challenge comes on defense, where the team has surrendered 387 points, among the highest totals in the league. While the run defense has been solid, coverage breakdowns have been costly. Against Montreal’s effective passing attack, that matchup will be decisive.

Prediction for Alouettes vs Argonauts

Montreal’s passing, supported by a balanced run game and a defense generating turnovers, makes the difference. Arbuckle and Coxie will keep Toronto competitive, but the Argonauts’ defense gives up too much to trust over four quarters. Final Score Prediction: Montreal Alouettes win and cover ATS 31-25.
