Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ottawa Redblacks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Ottawa Redblacks Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (7-10) and Ottawa Redblacks (8-8-1) wrap up their regular seasons Friday. Kickoff from TD Place is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TSN / CFL+). 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 are coming off a cover as 5-point favorites in a 42-20 win over the visiting Calgary Stampeders Oct. 18 with the Over (52) hitting. QB Bo Levi Mitchell was 24-of-37 passing for 450 yards with 5 TDs and 1 INT.

The Redblacks lost 38-31 as 5.5-point underdogs at the Toronto Argonauts Saturday as the Over (50.5) cashed. Ottawa has lost 5 consecutive games straight up and against the spread (ATS).

These teams have met twice this season. The home team has won straight up and ATS in each outing, while the Over/Under (O/U) has gone 1-1.

Tiger-Cats at Redblacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 37, Redblacks 22

Moneyline

The Redblacks virtually have nothing to play for in this spot, as win or lose, they’re still going to play the Argonauts in Toronto for the East Division semifinal Nov. 2. In addition to their lack of motivation, the Redblacks are on a 5-game straight-up/ATS skid, losing by an average of 11 points per game.

The Tiger-Cats didn’t make the playoffs this year, but a victory Friday would make Mitchell the 10th CFL QB to reach 100 career wins. Hamilton is 5-1 straight up/ATS in its last 6 games, and the motivation for Mitchell to make history should give it the edge Friday.

BET TIGER-CATS (-145).

Against the spread

With such a short spread, just lay the -145 on the ML instead of worrying about a 1-point Tiger-Cats victory. There is just a 30-cent difference after the ML went from -125 to -145 and the spread from -105 to -115 Friday morning.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Over has gone 12-5 in Tiger-Cats games this season and has hit in 5 of their last 6. Mitchell is coming off a 5-TD performance against Calgary in Week 20 and looks poised to win his 100th career game before the season wraps up. I want no part of betting against this Tiger-Cats offense right now.

BET OVER 50.5 (-110).

Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 20 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Calgary Stampeders (4-11-1) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-10) meet for a Week 18 matchup Friday at Tim Horton’s Field in Hamilton. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (CBSSN/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stampeders vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Stampeders failed to qualify for a postseason spot in the West Division, and they will join the Edmonton Elks on the couch for the playoffs. It’s the first time since 1945 that both teams from the province of Alberta have missed the CFL playoffs.

The Stamps have the worst record in the CFL, and a loss would clinch the bottom spot in the league for the season.

Calgary hasn’t won a lot of games this season, but it picked up a 32-24 victory as a 1-point favorite at home on June 7 as the Over (44.5) easily cashed.

The Stamps have lost 3 in a row, while going 0-7-1 in the past 8 outings. They’re also 1-7 against the spread (ATS) in the 8-game span. The Ti-Cats made a run with 4 straight wins from Weeks 13-17, while covering 5 in a row from Aug. 23-Sept. 27, but a 31-10 loss to Winnipeg last week was the last nail in Hamilton’s coffin.

Stampeders at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 32, Stampeders 19

Moneyline

The Tiger-Cats (-225) will set you back more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s too much risk for not enough reward.

Both of these teams are eliminated from the CFL postseason, so this game means nothing but pride. Hamilton has been playing much better lately, but this price is just too high.

PASS.

Against the spread

HAMILTON -4.5 (-110) is the play in this battle between non-playoff teams.

The Tiger-Cats have won 4 of the past 5 games, while going 5-1 ATS. They’re playing great football, even though it’s basically building momentum for next season, since there will be no postseason.

There is risk, as this is just the 2nd time Hamilton has been a favorite, and it lost in Ottawa in Week 4, but Calgary is 1-7 ATS in the past 8 outings.

Over/Under

UNDER 50.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed in 2 in a row, and 3 of the past 4 games for the Stamps. They’ve scored 19 or fewer points in 4 of the past 5 outings.

The Ti-Cats cashed low last week, halting a 4-game run to the Over.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Week 18 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Week 18 kicks off Friday with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-6) on the road to face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-9), Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Tim Hortons Field. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Bombers vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Blue Bombers clinched a playoff spot behind 7 straight wins. They lead the West Division, just ahead of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-7-1). They are coming off consecutive wins over the Edmonton Elks, most recently a 55-27 home victory as 3.5-point favorites with the Over (49) easily cashing.

Hamilton enters on a 4-game win streak, which oddly followed a 4-game skid. However, the T-Cats are in last place in the East Division. Their most recent outing was a 32-29 victory as 7-point underdogs vs. the BC Lions with the Over (54.5) hitting Sept. 27.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Blue Bombers at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 34, Blue Bombers 31

Moneyline

The Tiger-Cats have scored 31 or more points in all 4 games of their current win streak and, despite having allowed the most points in the league (469), they have allowed 27.3 points per game in their streak, with an opponent scoring over 30 only once in that span.

The Blue Bombers are 3-4 on the road and have allowed only 18.4 points per game in their 7-game winning streak but allowed 27 or more twice in their last 4 games. However, they have surpassed 30 points just twice in the streak.

With a playoff berth wrapped up and Hamilton rolling offensively, here is nice shot at an upset.

BET TIGER-CATS (+165).

Against the spread

Hamilton is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games — all as an underdog — winning 4 outright.

Winnipeg is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 and 6-1 ATS in its last 7.

But looking for the outright upset, the moneyline is the better option.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in 11 of Hamilton’s 15 games this season, in 4 straight and 6 of 7.

Winnipeg is 4-11 O/U this season but the Over has cashed in in 2 of the last 4.

BET OVER 50.5 (-105).

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at BC Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats at BC Lions Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-9) and the BC Lions (7-7) meet for a Week 17 matchup Friday at BC Place. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tiger-Cats vs. Lions odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Ti-Cats have turned things around after a 2-9 start, winning 3 in a row, while covering each of the previous 4 outings. All 3 of the victories have come as underdogs, too, including a 33-31 win at Toronto as 6.5-point ‘dogs Sept. 20.

The Over has cashed in 3 straight for the Ti-Cats, who put up 31 or more points in each game of the span. The total has gone high in 5 of their past 6 games.

The Lions are coming off a bye week. Their last outing was a disappointing 33-17 home loss to Toronto as 4.5-point favorites, halting a modest 2-game win streak. The offense had gone for 37 or more points in the previous 2 games before the loss, so perhaps the rest will help bring that production back.

These teams met in The Hammer back on July 7 with BC coming away with a 44-28 win as a 5.5-point favorite as the Over (53.5) cashed.

Tiger-Cats at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 34, Lions 29

Moneyline

If you’re a little more on the adventurous side, the TIGER-CATS (+280) are worth a roll of the dice for the chance to nearly triple up.

Hamilton arrives in Vancouver on a serious roll, winning 3 in a row, while going for an average of 33.7 PPG in the impressive offensive span. The defense hasn’t been as good, coughing up 26.7 PPG, so it will be a worry all night.

However, BC just cannot be trusted, especially at this high -350 price. While the Lions beat the Ti-Cats back in Week 5, that’s like a season ago.

BC, which has had injury problems, is slowly getting healthier, and the bye week should help. However, the Lions are still 2-6 SU and ATS across the past 8 games. Trust the hotter team — the Tiger-Cats are 6-3 ATS in their last 9.

Against the spread

The TIGER-CATS +7 (-110) are a much safer play catching the points. Again, Hamilton is on a 4-0 ATS run, while BC is just 2-6 ATS in the previous 8 outings.

The fact that Hollis is out for the Lions is a big loss, too. He is 2nd on the team with 56 receptions, 881 yards and 5 TDs through 13 games.

Over/Under

OVER 53.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this cross-country matchup.

The O/U has split in the past 4 games for BC, but we did get 72 combined points in the 1st matchup back in July with a total of just 53.5.

For Hamilton, the Over has cashed in 3 in a row, 5 of the past 6 and 9 of the previous 13 outings. Look for plenty of points at BC Place.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-9) and the Toronto Argonauts (7-6) meet Friday at BMO Field for a Week 16 game. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tiger-Cats vs. Argonauts odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Ti-Cats opened the season 2-9 straight up (SU), and 2-6 against the spread (ATS) in the 1st 8 outings. However, Hamilton has picked up the pace with 2 straight wins, including a 31-28 win over Toronto in The Hammer, while covering a season-high 3 in a row.

The Over has cashed in each of the past 2 wins for Hamilton, too, averaging 34.0 points per game (PPG), while allowing 24.5 PPG. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games, too.

For the Argonauts, they picked up a 33-17 win on the road against the BC Lions as a 4.5-point underdog as the Under (53.5) cashed. The cover snapped an 0-3 ATS skid. The Over is on a 4-2 run in the past 6 contests.

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.

No one has allowed more points or lost more games this season than Hamilton. But Ottawa has been middling on the road at 2-3 this season.

But Hamilton is 2-4 at home.

Ottawa beat Hamilton at home earlier this season 24-22.

Don’t expect an upset, but don’t bet the Redblacks at -200.

PASS.

Against the spread

Five of the Redblacks’ wins have been by 4 or more points. They are 8-4 ATS on the season. They have covered the spread in all 8 of their wins.

The Tiger-Cats are 4-8 ATS and have only covered the spread once in a loss.

A Week 13 Monday doubleheader in the CFL begins with the Toronto Argonauts (6-4) on the road to face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-9).

Toronto has won 2 in a row and 3 out of its last 4 games. It is coming off a 20-19 home win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders Aug. 22, failing to cover as a 2-point favorite as the Under (50.5) cashed in.

The Tiger-Cats have lost 4 in a row after their only 2 wins of the season. Their last game was Aug. 23, a 26-23 road loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, though they did cover as 10.5-point underdogs as the Under (50) hit.

Argonauts at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 36, Tiger-Cats 24

Moneyline

The Tiger-Cats have given up the most points in the CFL, allowing 32.7 per game. Their only home win this season was over Toronto. But they have lost their last 4 games, allowing opponents to score 34.8 points per game.

The Argonauts (-245) only scored 20 last week, but average 27.9 points per game.

Hamilton’s defense will not be able to slow Toronto enough, but -245 odds aren’t worth a wager.

PASS.

The Argonauts are 4-6 ATS this season, while the Tiger-Cats are 3-8 ATS.

Hamilton lost last week by only 3 points, but the last 3 losses before that were all by at least 10.

Tiger-Cats at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 33, Tiger-Cats 13

Moneyline

After a poor start, Winnipeg is among the hotter teams in the league going against the Tiger-Cats, who have allowed 33 or more points in 3 straight games. Opponents have not scored more than 19 points in the Bombers’ last 4 games.

But at -530 odds, you should certainly not be betting that.

PASS.

Against the spread

Three of Hamilton’s last 4 losses have been by more than 10 points. The Tiger-Cats have failed to cover the spread in any loss this season.

The Blue Bombers have covered the spread in 3 of their 4 wins.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -10.5 (-102).

Over/Under

The Blue Bombers’ last 4 games and 6 of their last 7 have not surpassed 48 total points. Opponents have not scored more than 19 points in 4 games.

But the last 6 games for Hamilton all have had 49 or more total points.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-110).

Edmonton Elks at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Edmonton Elks at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (2-7) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-7) meet Saturday for a Week 11 battle at Tim Hortons Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Elks picked up a 33-16 win over the visiting BC Lions in Week 10, cashing as 1-point underdogs. Edmonton has come alive with 2 straight wins and covers after opening the season 0-7 straight up (SU).

The offense is a big part of the resurgence for Edmonton, averaging 34.3 points per game (PPG) across the past 3 outings. The 16 points allowed against the Lions also marked a season best for the Elks defense.

On the road, Edmonton is still just 1-3 SU, but it is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) while splitting the Over/Under 2-2 in those 4 road outings.

The Tiger-Cats haven’t had a lot of success, but their most recent win in Week 8 was a 44-28 victory in Edmonton as 3-point underdogs as the Over (51) easily cashed. Hamilton has scored 22 or more points in 5 of the past 6 games, but it has allowed at least 28 points in 3 straight outings.

Elks at Tiger-Cats odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:26 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Elks -118 (bet $118 to win $100) | Tiger-Cats -102 (bet $102 to win $100)
Against the spread: Elks -1.5 (-105) | Tiger-Cats +1.5 (-115)
Over/Under (O/U): 52.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Elks at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 25, Elks 22

Moneyline

HAMILTON (-102) is worth playing as the slight underdogs at home.

The Tiger-Cats won the 1st meeting in Edmonton (-118) in Week 8. In that meeting, the Elks removed an ineffective QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, who was just 10 of 22 for 85 yards with 1 INT before QB Tre Ford came on for a spark. The latter was 10 of 15 for 121 yards, 3 TDs and 19 rush yards. However, Ford is likely out with a chest injury, so MBT is back.

The Tiger-Cats are a good bet in the Hammer in this battle of 2-7 clubs.

Against the spread

If you’re not quite sold on HAMILTON +1.5 (-115) straight up, and believe Edmonton -1.5 (-105) can win but only by 1 point, then take the Ti-Cats with the points. However, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room.

The Ti-Cats are a much better value straight up on the moneyline.

Over/Under

UNDER 52.5 (-105) is the play, but be careful. The last time these teams met in Week 8, we had 72 combined points.

However, the Under has cashed in each of the past 2 games at home for Hamilton, averaging just 21.5 PPG while allowing 28.5 PPG.

For Edmonton, the Under cashed last week in a win over the BC Lions, as the defense allowed a season-low 16 points. In addition, the D limited the Lions to just 6 points in the final 3 quarters, including scoreless 2nd and 4th quarters. BC was only able to muster 105 rushing yards, and most of its damage came in the return game, or the contest might have been even more lopsided.

Edmonton has struggled in the pass game, averaging just 270.2 yards per game, which is 7th in the CFL. Defensively, it has hemorrhaged yards, allowing 396.1 total yards per game, worst in the league. However, it has made some strides lately.

Hamilton has the No. 1 offense, in terms of total yards per game (393.4) and passing yards (321.3), but it’s off-balance, with just 72.1 rushing yards per game, which is worst in the CFL. Defensively, the Ti-Cats are just so-so.
