The Tiger-Cats vs Redblacks Game Prediction!
THE PICK: Redblacks team total Over 26.5
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are coming off a close 23-20 win against the Ottawa Redblacks, with quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell securing the victory late in the game. While the Redblacks' 1-5 record puts them at the bottom of the East standings, they're a more talented team than their record suggests. Their struggles have been due to injuries and penalties, but with starting quarterback Dru Brown back and the team showing better discipline, things are looking up.
Despite Brown's less-than-stellar performance last week, he's a serious threat. He's previously averaged over 400 yards per game, and the Hamilton defense has been shaky, giving up at least 28 points and 400 yards in three of their five games this season. While Ottawa's poor pass defense makes a moneyline bet risky, expect their offense to bounce back and easily hit their team total.
