ORPick the winner, full stop. Overtime counts, so a tie is nearly impossible (the NFL has had a handful in a decade). Favourites carry short prices — on a -300 favourite you risk 300 units to win 100 — which is why most NFL money goes to the spread instead.
The handicap that makes a mismatch bettable. The favourite gives points (e.g. -4.5 means they must win by 5 or more), the underdog receives them. Both sides are priced near even money, usually around -110, with the bookmaker's margin hiding in that 10. Key numbers matter in the NFL: 3 and 7 are the most common winning margins because of field goals and touchdowns, so a line moving across 3 is a bigger deal than the half-point suggests.
Combined points scored by both teams, overtime included. You bet over or under the posted line — say 44.5. Totals price in offensive pace, quarterback quality, weather (wind hurts passing games more than cold does), and how each defence matches up. Like the spread, both sides sit near even money.
Montreal Alouettes hosts Ottawa Redblacks in CFL. Kickoff is TODAY 7:30 PM EDT, with pre-game odds via Cloudbet.
The CFL is Canada's professional league — and a different sport in the details: a longer, wider field, three downs instead of four, twelve players a side. The result is more passing and more scoring than the NFL, which matters when your instincts about totals were calibrated on the American game.

Ottawa Redblacks (Canada) enters this game travelling for the road game. Form, injury reports, rest days, and the quarterback situation all shape pre-game pricing — check the markets above for the current read.
Cloudbet currently prices Montreal Alouettes as the heavy favourite at roughly 91% implied to win, with Ottawa Redblacks at the long end (14%). The spread sits at Montreal Alouettes -14.5. The total is set at 62, with the over priced near 53% implied — a balanced read on the scoring pace.
How to think about this matchup: CFL rules inflate scoring relative to the NFL — three downs force more passing, and the wider field stretches defences. Short-week turnarounds are common in the schedule and travel across Canada is no small thing. Markets are thinner than NFL, so prices can lag news.
