Randy’s Pick

Im not running to the window to back the Ottawa Redblacks especially on the road. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are at home and have had an extra week to prepare, so I can understand why they’re favored. With all that said, the Tiger-Cats have been a mess at both ends of the field, as the defense can’t stop anybody and the offense is turning the ball over left and right. If forced to pick, give me Ottawa and the free points.
