Tiger-Cats vs Lions Prediction
There’s value with the Lions and points, as they’ve had an extra week to prepare for this game. Getting points with a team coming off a bye is always worth a look. However, the Tiger-Cats are on fire with six straight wins and not a team I’m excited to fade right now. The Tiger-Cats also just beat the Lions on the road a couple of weeks ago as an underdog. The Tiger-Cats have covered five of their last six games. The Lions have failed to cover six of their last nine games. We’re laying a field goal. Give me the Tiger-Cats at home.
