Alouettes at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions
Prediction
Tiger-Cats 23, Alouettes 19
Moneyline
The Tiger-Cats have won 3 of their last 4 games, allowing an average of 18 points per game in the wins.
The Als scored a season-high 38 in their win over Hamilton June 23. They have averaged 18.6 per game in the other 5 games.
I’m feeling Hamilton’s streak here of late.
BET TIGER-CATS (+125).
Against the spread
Both teams have identical ATS and S/U records. Both have covered the spread in their wins and failed to do so in their losses.
The Tiger-Cats are 3-2 ATS (and 3-2 S/U) as underdogs.
The Als have won and covered the spread in both games in which they were favored.
But expecting an outright Hamilton win, the plus odds on the moneyline have a much better value.
PASS.

Four of Hamilton’s games have had more than 45 total points.
Only 1 of Hamilton’s wins has reached at least 46 total points.
BET UNDER 45.5 (-115).
