Tiger-Cats vs Stampeders Prediction 

Hamilton comes into this matchup after losing four of their last five games, but they have played better in two of their last three. The Tiger-Cats are still using a backup quarterback, but Ford has been getting better. Calgary has lost two in a row and they are also using a backup QB. The Stampeders have allowed 30+ points in four of their last five games and I don’t think the offense can keep pace here. Take Hamilton on the road.
