Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs BC Lions Prediction
The BC Lions are clearly the better team in this spot with the best total offense in the CFL, and they’re 7-3 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 games against the Tiger-Cats. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are not only 0-4 SU on the season, but they’ve lost and failed to cover each of their last 5 games. The Tiger-Cats have shown flashes offensively, but they don’t finish drives, and they’re ninth in scoring defense. Until the Tiger-Cats actually put together a positive result or two, I’ll continue to fade them. I’ll lay the 4.5 points with the BC Lions on the road.
