Stampeders at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 26, Stampeders 19

Moneyline

HAMILTON (-130) is the play in “the Hammer”, as the Ti-Cats look to keep their postseason hopes alive and well.

Calgary (+110) has just been too erratic this season, and it has lost 5 of the past 6 games overall to all but fall out of the postseason conversation.

Against the spread

HAMILTON -1.5 (-110) is slightly cheaper laying the little bit of points on their home field.

While, yes, Calgary has been fairly hot against the number lately, it is still just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 meetings with Hamilton.

The Ti-Cats are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games at home, but they’re 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games after a straight-up loss, and 4-1 ATS in the past 5 after a non-cover, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is worth a look in this Week 17 matchup.

The Under has connected in 13 of the past 18 meetings in this series, while going 7-3 in the past 10 in Hamilton.

In addition, the total has gone low at a 5-2-1 clip in the past 8 games overall for the Stamps, while also going 5-2-1 in their past 8 on the road.

For the Ti-Cats, the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 after a SU loss, and 4-1 in the past 5 after an ATS loss, too.
