Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Preview & Picks

The Under is tipped to cash in Friday night’s CFL matchup.

Winnipeg boast the best defense in the entire league, but on the opposite side they are the lowest scoring team.

  • The Under has cashed in 9 of Winnipeg’s last 10 games
  • Winnipeg are the only CFL team to have allowed less than 200 points this season
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ games have averaged 40.5 total points
  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 3-1-0 ATS in their wins this season

Head To Head

  • The series is tied 17-17 since 2010
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats won 29-23 when the two teams last met in September 2023

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton enter this matchup on a three-game losing skid that has left them just 2-8 heading into Week 12.

The Tiger-Cats kicked off the campaign with five straight defeats, but briefly steadied the ship after their first bye week of the season.

They finally got off the mark with a 27-24 win at home to Toronto, and then backed that up a week later with a 44-28 victory in Edmonton.

Hamilton failed to keep that run going against the defending champions though, losing 33-16 to Montreal at home and 33-23 on the road.

The Tiger-Cats’ losing sequence then reached three games a week ago as they were beaten 47-22 by Edmonton at home.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg have kept themselves in the playoff hunt in the West by winning their last two games to improve to 4-6.

The Blue Bombers have been a constant fixture in recent Grey Cups, but their playoff aspirations took an early blow as they lost their first four games.

They stopped the rot in Week 5 with a 25-16 win at home to Ottawa, and then downed visiting Calgary 41-37.

Winnipeg were unable to keep that winning run going when they went out on the road though, losing 19-9 in Saskatchewan and 16-14 (OT) at Toronto.

A return home did bring a return to winning ways though, as the Blue Bombers beat BC 25-0, and they backed that up after the bye with a 20-11 road win over the Lions.

Verdict

Winnipeg do not score many points, but they have not been giving up many either.

This has ‘Under’ written all over it, with the Blue Bombers backed to cover the spread due to that strong defense.
