Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs Montreal Alouettes Prediction
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are coming off back to back wins, so there’s value with the points at home. However, the Tiger-Cat’s two wins have come against teams with a combined record of 4-10. The Montreal Alouettes are a much stronger test with the best total defense in the league. The Alouettes have also won 8 of the last 10 games against the Tiger-Cats and have covered 7 of those games. I just need to see more from the Tiger-Cats before I can back them in spots like this. The Alouettes are also just too consistent to bet against at the moment, and have owned this matchup in the past. Give me Montreal by a touchdown.
