Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs Ottawa Redblacks Prediction
The Ottawa Redblacks have obviously been the better team this season, and they’re 8-4 ATS as well. The Redblacks should be getting the benefit of the doubt. However, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats nearly beat the Redblacks on the road back in June, and they’re coming off a strong win over Toronto to get back on track.
The Tiger-Cats have also had an extra week to prepare for this game. There’s value to getting free points with the home team and the rest advantage. The Tiger-Cats have the best total offense in the CFL, it’s just a matter of finishing drives. Give me the Tiger-Cats and the free points.
