Roughriders vs Tiger-Cats Prediction 

Hamilton comes into this matchup after losing four of their last five games and they have scored 24 points or fewer in five straight. The Tiger-Cats continue to struggle with the absence of their starting QB, but their defense really hasn’t been too bad. Saskatchewan has won four of their last five games and they have scored 34+ points in three of their last four. The Roughriders are the much better team in this matchup, but I am going to take the over, as I think Hamilton will find at least some success at home.
