Tiger-Cats at Argonauts picks and predictions
Prediction
Argonauts 30, Tiger-Cats 27
Moneyline
Toronto (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.
Hamilton (+240) has just 4 victories this season, but 2 of them are against the Argos. While the Tiger-Cats are playing better football lately, and they’ve won each of the meetings with the Argos, BMO Field is a difficult place to win.
PASS.
Against the spread
Play the TIGER-CATS +6.5 (+100) at even-money. Again, the Argonauts -6.5 (-120) have dropped both previous meetings this season, but Toronto is 5-1 SU at home.
It won’t be easy for Hamilton to come up the QEW and get a 3rd straight win in this provincial battle. But, with both games decided by just 3 points, it should be a close win. Take Hamilton and the points, and feel confidently in doing so.
Over/Under
OVER 53.5 (-115) is a worth playing lightly.
The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 6 outings for Toronto, including the Week 13 battle at Tim Horton’s Field between these 2 teams. With a total of 51, Hamilton won 31-28 to go high on the total.
The Over is on a 4-1 run for the Tiger-Cats, too, while going 4-2 in 6 road games this season.
