Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 Saskatchewan (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: The Hamilton Tigercats went 1-1 on a season opening road trip and then returned home for a convincing 31-17 victory over Winnipeg in Week 3. The Roughriders will be hungry here though, as they come in sitting at just 1-2 and off a humbling 27-13 loss to lowly Montreal as a 10-point fav last time out.
The teams: Saskatchewan was 2-0 in this series last year, but the Roughriders clearly can't take anything for granted against this much improved Hamilton team.
Hamilton's Jeremiah Masoli had 369 yards an a TD last week for the Ti-Cats and the defense held the Bombers to just 280 yards. The run game also looked decent as Mercer Timmis had two short TD runs.
QB Brandon Bridge had to start in place of the injured Zach Collaros last week for Saskatchewan and while he'd stumble in that one, I think he'll be much more competitive this time around.
The pick: With a game to make adjustments after losing Collaros, I think Winnipeg will look a lot better this week. This is Hamilton's third road game in the first four weeks and after playing at such a high level, including posting back to back SU/ATS victories, everything finally points to a letdown in my opinion (note that Hamilton is 0-2 ATS in its last two after two more SU wins, while Saskatchewan is 6-4 ATS in its last ten after two or more consecutive SU losses.) Grab as many points as you can, play on the Roughriders.
