Two East Division foes will clash tonight when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats travel to TD Place Stadium to take on the Ottawa Redblacks. Both teams are at 8-7, with Hamilton averaging 29.4 points per game and allowing an average of 24.1 and Ottawa averaging 25.0 points per game and giving up an average of 24.5. The Tiger-Cats cover on the road, going 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14, and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against the East. The Redblacks have not been covering the number at home. They are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, and in Friday games, they are 1-4 ATS in their last 5. Ottawa won the first meeting this year on Tiger-Cat turf so there is extra incentive here for the Cats to put the screws to the Redblacks in front of their home crowd. Hamilton is laying 1.5 and should cover the number but with a money line of just -125, why sweat the hook?
