Roughriders at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions
Prediction
Roughriders 32, Tiger-Cats 23
Moneyline
The ROUGHRIDERS (-130) looked much better in Week 1 than the Tiger-Cats, who trailed by as many as 15 points to the Stampeders.
QB Trevor Harris, who passed for 305 yards in Week 1, has bounced back nicely after missing most of 2023 with a knee injury.
Bane seems to have picked up where he left off after leading the league with 93 receptions last year, and the addition of RB AJ Ouellette in the offseason should help Saskatchewan drastically improve on its 6-12 record from last season.
BET ROUGHRIDERS (-130).
Against the spread
The Roughriders will likely cover with a straight-up win, but I prefer paying the extra 20 cents on the ML in case Saskatchewan wins by just 1 point.
PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.
Over/Under
The Over hit in both of these teams’ season openers. Hamilton’s defense struggled in Week 1, allowing 32 points to Calgary, and Saskatchewan looks like it may be one of the best offenses in the CFL this year with Harris returning and Ouellette signing in the offseason.
BET OVER 49.5 (-105).
