The BC-Lions Vs. Tiger-Cats Game Prediction!
The Pick: Tiger - Cats -3.5
Look, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are on fire right now, riding a five-game winning streak. A big reason for their success is quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who's been absolutely slinging the ball around. He just had two huge games in a row, throwing for over 350 yards and three touchdowns in each. On top of that, the Ticats are great at protecting the football, which is a huge plus.
They're facing a B.C. Lions team that looks good on paper with their passing defense, but it's a bit of a mirage. They've mostly played against backup quarterbacks, and when they've gone up against real starters, they've been torched for a lot of yards. The Lions' strong play can only cover up their flaws for so long, and it feels like Hamilton's hot offense is going to be too much for them to handle. Expect Mitchell and the Ticats to keep rolling.
