The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-4) and Ottawa Redblacks (3-3) meet Friday at TD Place Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tiger-Cats vs. Redblacks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.
The Tiger-Cats failed to cover the spread as 10.5-point home underdogs with a 31-15 loss vs. the Toronto Argonauts last Friday. QB Bo Levi Mitchell (hip) will return Friday after missing the last 4 games.
The Redblacks covered as 4.5-point underdogs in a 43-41 overtime win at the Calgary Stampeders Sunday. Since QB Dustin Crum has become the starter, Ottawa is 2-0 straight up and against the spread.
In the 1st meeting this season between these teams, the Tiger-Cats won 21-13 as 1.5-point home underdogs July 8.

Tiger-Cats at Redblacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Tiger-Cats 23, Redblacks 21
Moneyline
The Tiger-Cats have won 2 of their last 3 games and Mitchell’s return should give them the boost needed to bounce back after getting blown out last time out.
The Redblacks are on a short week and are coming off back-to-back overtime wins. While Ottawa is 2-0 in Crum’s starts, it may be fatigued having to play its 3rd game in 14 days.
BET TIGER-CATS (+105).
Against the spread
Hamilton +1.5 (-110) should cover, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the spread when the Tiger-Cats should beat the Redblacks straight up for the 9th straight time.
PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.
Over/Under
The Under is 4-1 in Hamilton’s last 5 games after failing to cover in its previous contest. The Under has also hit in 6 of the last 8 meetings between these teams and should cash again Friday as Ottawa’s offense comes back down to Earth.
BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).
