Blue Bombers vs Tiger-Cats Prediction

Hamilton comes into this matchup with a 2-1 record to start the season and they already beat Winnipeg by 10 points earlier this year. The Tiger-Cats have been a little disappointing on offense, but their defense has been very good. Winnipeg is 1-2 on the season, but they played well against the Elks in their last game, before losing late. The Blue Bombers have also had some offensive issues, but their defense was great against Edmonton last time out. I think this total is a little too high, so I am gong with the under here.
