The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa Redblacks meet Wednesday in week 7 CFL action at TD Place Stadium. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look for another win after winning three of their last four games. The Ottawa Redblacks need a win here to snap a four-game losing streak.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have won eight of their last 12 games overall. Jeremiah Masoli is completing 62.1 percent of his passes for 377 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions. Masoli and Dane Evans have combined for six touchdown passes and five interceptions. Jaelon Acklin and Tim White have combined for 559 receiving yards and two touchdowns while Steven Dunbar has 13 receptions. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats ground game is averaging 83.7 yards per contest, and Sean Thomas Erlington leads the way with 176 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, Hamilton is allowing 18.7 points and 331.8 yards per game. Simoni Lawrence leads the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with 37 tackles, Ja’Gared Davis has three sacks and Cariel Brooks has two interceptions. 

The Ottawa Redblacks have lost 15 of their last 16 games overall. Matt Nichols is completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 476 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions. Nichols and Dominique Davis have combined for three touchdowns and six interceptions. RJ Harris and Ryan Davis have combined for 461 receiving yards and one touchdown while Nathaniel Behar has 19 receptions. The Ottawa Redblacks ground game is averaging 71 yards per contest, and Timothy Flanders leads the way with 114 yards on 34 carries. Defensively, Ottawa is allowing 31 points and 420.8 yards per game. Avery Williams leads the Ottawa Redblacks with 37 tackles, Praise Martin-Oguike has two sacks and Abdul Kanneh has two interceptions.

The Tiger-Cats are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The RedBlacks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games overall. The under is 8-1 in Tiger-Cats last 9 games overall. The over is 7-3 in RedBlacks last 10 vs. East. The over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Ottawa.

The Ottawa Redblacks have had an extra week to prepare, which makes them somewhat attractive in the underdog role at home. However, the Redblacks continue to be awful both straight up and against the spread. Ottawa has done nothing well through five games and doesn’t cover numbers. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have an above average defense and are 3-0-1 against the spread during this winning stretch. Also, Hamilton has outscored Ottawa 54-19 in the last two meetings. I’ll eat the chalk with the road team.
