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.

Over/Under

Three of the Als games this season have surpassed 45 total points, including the matchup between the 2 teams earlier this season.

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).

Montreal Alouettes at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Montreal Alouettes at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 3 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Montreal Alouettes (1-0) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-2) meet Friday at Tim Hortons Field. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Alouettes covered the spread as 2-point home favorites June 10 with a 19-12 win vs. the Ottawa Redblacks. QB Cody Fajardo threw for 261 yards and rushed for a TD in his 1st game as an Alouette.

The Tiger-Cats failed to cover as 2.5-point favorites Sunday in a 32-14 loss at the Toronto Argonauts. QB Bo Levi Mitchell sustained a lower-body injury in the 4th quarter and was forced to leave. Coach Orlondo Steinauer told reporters Tuesday that the newly-signed QB will not suit up for Hamilton’s home opener and backup Matt Shiltz will instead get the start.

Alouettes at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 23, Alouettes 16

Moneyline

Despite not having its 1st-string QB, HAMILTON (-135) should get its 1st win of the season in its home opener. FanDuel is offering the lowest line on Hamilton ML industry-wide, which makes -135 a good bet, especially if you believe the line will move toward the Tiger-Cats closer to kickoff.

For those who would like to risk less money for the same payout, laying the points with Hamilton is also an option.

Against the spread

BET TIGER-CATS -2.5 (-110).

The Tiger-Cats were overvalued at Toronto but now face an Alouettes team that scored just 19 points last time out. Fajardo doesn’t seem fully comfortable in Montreal’s system yet, while Hamilton should be able feed off of its home crowd after 2 bad losses on the road. The Tiger-Cats are 37-18-2 ATS in their last 57 Friday games, according to Covers.com, and the atmosphere at Tim Hortons Field should be too much for an Alouettes squad that struggled on offense in its season opener.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-115).

Neither team has been impressive on offense so far. Montreal only scored 1 TD in its season opener and Hamilton is coming off a 14-point performance at Toronto. The Under has hit in 6 of the last 7 meetings between these teams and should cash again Friday as Montreal goes on the road and continues to struggle offensively.
