Hamilton Tiger-Cats at BC Lions Preview & Picks

Hamilton are tipped to cover as a betting underdog on the road.

The Tiger-Cats are the team in better form and they are coming up against an inconsistent backup QB who was recently benched.

  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats are on a 3-game win streak
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats are 4-0-0 ATS in their last 4 games
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of Hamilton’s last 6 games
  • The Over hit when the two teams last met in July

Head To Head

  • The series is tied at 13-13 since 2010
  • BC Lions won 44-28 when the two teams last met on July 8

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton enter this matchup on a three-game win streak that has improved their record to 5-9 and kept them in the playoff hunt.

The Tiger-Cats limped out of the blocks as they lost their first five games, before finally getting off the mark with back-to-back wins in late July.

They failed to keep that run going as they then lost their next four, and at 2-9 then found themselves in serious trouble heading into September.

Hamilton stopped the rot with a 31-28 victory over Toronto, and since returning from their second bye week they have gained some momentum to stay in the race.

The Tiger-Cats downed Ottawa 37-21 at home, before heading to Toronto to knock off the Argonauts, 33-31.

BC Lions Form

BC come into this game on the back of a defeat, but firmly in the playoff picture with a 7-7 record.

The Lions opened the season with a defeat, but responded in strong fashion by reeling off five consecutive victories.

Their form cooled off in late July though, as a 25-24 defeat in Calgary proved to be the start of a five-game skid that left them below .500.

BC stopped the rot in their final game in August, beating Ottawa 38-12, and they then backed that up with a 37-23 upset of defending champions Montreal on the road.

The Lions failed to make it three wins in a row however, as they were beaten 33-17 at home by Toronto.

Verdict

Hamilton have built up some steam in recent weeks and they are backed to cover the number here.

BC have big question marks at quarterback and have lost six of the last eight, so a one-touchdown spread feels too big for this one.
