BC Lions vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats Prediction
The BC Lions are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and are coming off a bye week. However, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are playing the better football at this very moment, with 3 straight wins. The Tiger-Cats are also 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 games against the Lions. The Tiger-Cats have the best total offense in the league, the third best scoring offense, and the BC Lions aren’t world beaters defensively. Getting a full touchdown feels a bit rich. I’ll grab the points with the Tiger-Cats on the road.
