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).
