The Tiger-Cats are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games, 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 6-0-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Alouettes are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games following a ATS loss, 23-7 ATS in their last 30 Saturday games and 12-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Tiger-Cats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Montreal. The under is 4-1 in Alouettes last 5 home games. The under is 5-1 in Tiger-Cats last 6 road games.
The Montreal Alouettes have won two of the last three meetings against the Tiger-Cats, but this is a different version of the two teams. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are winning their last three games by an average of 23.7 points and have positioned themselves probably as the favorites to win it all at this point. The Montreal Alouettes continue to be hit or miss, and while they play their best football at home, they're winning by an average of just 2.5 points. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are not a team I'm trying to step in front of right now.
