The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will try to break off an eight game losing streak against the Stampeders when they meet for the first time this season in Calgary. The betting odds on this game opened with the Stamps a -5.5 point spread favorite, but money has come in on the Ti-Cats dropping this line to as low as -4.5 at some betting venues. The total line for this game opened at 53.5 points and has held that number.
The return of Zach Collaros to the Tiger-Cats’ starting lineup could signal the start of a run to the top of the standings in the East Division. He threw for 381 yards and five touchdowns in last week’s romp while completing 23-of-30 attempts, so the build-up of rust due an extended recovery from knee surgery does not appear to be an issue. Collaros completed passes to eight different receivers with Terrence Oliver leading the way with five catches for 139 yards and a score. Hamilton is now an even 4-4 on the year both SU and ATS.
Calgary proved itself to be the class of the CFL through the first nine weeks if the season at 6-1-1 SU (6-2 ATS). The Stampeders also appear to be getting better and better with each passing week with an average margin of victory of 19 points over its last three outings. Bo Levi Mitchell continues to play at a very high level at quarterback and Calgary remains the highest scoring team in the league with an average of 31 points a game.
