Tiger-Cats at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 36, Tiger-Cats 27

Moneyline

The Roughriders won last week while on the road and have scored 29 and 33 points in their 1st 2 games of the season. And as rough a time as Saskatchewan had last season, they were 4-5 at home.

Meanwhile, Hamilton has allowed 32 and 33 in their 1st 2 games.

At -142, the Roughriders are not a bad bet, but with only a 2.5-point spread, there is better value there.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Roughriders were favored in both games to start the season and have covered the spread in both games. They beat Hamilton by 3 points last week on the road. Including the preseason, they have increased their scoring output in 4 straight games.

Hamilton is 0-2 ATS to start the season, losing by 8 and 3 points.

BET ROUGHRIDERS -2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Their game last week had 63 total points. Both Hamilton’s games this season have had more than 50 total points while Saskatchewan’s opener had 50.

Hamilton’s opponents have both scored in the 30s.

BET OVER 50.5 (-115).

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Saskatchewan Roughriders matchup, with CFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (0-1) visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-0) for a 10 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday at Mosaic Stadium. Below, we look at the Tiger-Cats vs. Roughriders odds and lines and make our best CFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Tiger-Cats suffered a 19-6 road loss against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 2021 CFL season opener Aug. 5. QB Jeremiah Masoli completed just 24 of 41 passes for 242 yards and 1 touchdown against 2 interceptions and contributed 26 of the team’s 55 total yards on the ground.

The Roughriders are playing their second straight home game to open the season after beating the BC Lions 33-29 last week.

Tiger-Cats at Roughriders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Roughriders 25, Tiger-Cats 18

Money line

Back the ROUGHRIDERS (-140) as home favorites while seeking a second straight win. Saskatchewan posted a league-high 33 points in Week 1 while Hamilton struggled with a one-dimensional offense against Winnipeg in the season opener.

The home crowds make a difference in the West Division and the Tiger-Cats will enter another hostile environment on the road.

Against the spread

Roll with ROUGHRIDERS -2.5 (-120) as the more profitable bet on the home team should they win by at least 3 points.

Hamilton closed as a 1-point favorite in Winnipeg last week but took a 13-point loss. Saskatchewan failed to cover as a 6.5-point favorite in its opener but has a more conservative number to cover this week.

Over/Under

Take the UNDER 49.5 (-120) despite Saskatchewan’s high score last week. Hamilton has a much better defense than BC and we’ll need to see more from the Ti-Cats’ rushing attack before trusting them to handle their share of the combined point total.
