Total: 54.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This is the marquee matchup on the CFL Week 7 card. It's easy to think offense with these two teams. But I'm going defense.
Winnipeg has given up the fewest points and second-fewest yards in the CFL. Hamilton isn't as good offensively as its season numbers show. The Tiger-Cats' numbers are skewed by getting to play three games against Toronto and Montreal. Those are the two worst defenses in the league. The Tiger-Cats were held under 260 yards by Calgary and Saskatchewan when they stepped up.
Hamilton has surrendered 17 or fewer points in three of its five games. Winnipeg QB Matt Nichols had a huge game against Ottawa last week. Nichols, though, isn't nearly that good.
These teams have a strong Under history with the low side winning 16 of the past 21 times.
