Redblacks at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 24, Redblacks 16

Moneyline

It’s unlikely that Hamilton (-135) will lose its 4th straight game to start the season. However, there’s no need to pay the higher price on the ML when the Tiger-Cats should cover this short spread with a victory.

PASS on the moneyline, and look to laying the points and/or betting the total instead.

Against the spread

Masoli’s return to Hamilton may serve as a distraction for the Redblacks QB, who will be playing in his 1st game since suffering a leg injury vs. the Saskatchewan Roughriders July 8, 2022. While Masoli will likely be an upgrade over Adams, it should take the 34-year-old QB at least a few games before he starts elevating Ottawa (3rd-worst offense in 2022 with 19.6 points per game).

While Hamilton has looked hopeless this season, it is coming off a bye week and will be playing in its 2nd straight home game. Shiltz should improve after a disappointing performance last time out and lead Hamilton to its 8th straight head-to-head win over the Redblacks.

BET TIGER-CATS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Ottawa is averaging just 17.7 points per game this season and the Under has hit in all 3 of its contests.

The Under has hit in 7 of Hamilton’s last 9 games after a bye week and should cash again Saturday, especially since neither team has shown signs of being explosive on offense this season.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).
