Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Preview & Picks

Hamilton are tipped to cover as they avoid being swept by Calgary.

The Tiger-Cats are on a decent run of form, while the Stampeders have not won a game for over two months.

  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats are 4-1 in their last 5 games
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats are 5-1-0 ATS in their last 6 games
  • Calgary Stampeders are on an 8-game winless run
  • The Over has cashed in 6 of Hamilton’s last 8 games

Head To Head

  • Calgary Stampeders are 6-4 in the last 10 meetings
  • Calgary Stampeders won 32-24 when the two teams last met on June 7

Calgary Stampeders Form

Calgary head to Hamilton looking to snap an eight-game winless sequence that has left them 4-11-1 and out of the playoff race.

The Stampeders made a decent start to the season as they won four of their first eight games, but their form nose-dived after a 27-23 win over Toronto.

They were beaten 39-35 in Toronto a week later, and then went into the bye week on the back of a 31-29 defeat to Ottawa.

Calgary returned to action with a couple of defeats to Edmonton, 35-20 at home and 37-16 on  the road, and they then tied 19-19 with Montreal before losing 37-29 to Saskatchewan.

The Stampeders then travelled to British Columbia for a 32-15 loss to the Lions, before heading back home for a 23-18 loss to Edmonton last time out.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton also go into this game out of the playoff picture, but they are at least trying to end the season on a positive note.

The Tiger-Cats needed six attempts to get their first win of the season, but by the end of Week 12 their postseason hopes were in pieces thanks to a 3-9 record.

A four-game losing skid in August played a massive part, but they fared much better in September as a 31-28 win over Toronto sparked a four-game win streak.

Hamilton backed up that victory with a 37-21 home win against Ottawa, before heading out on the road to beat Toronto 33-31 and BC Lions 32-29 (OT).

The Tiger-Cats failed to make it five wins in a row however, as they were beaten 31-10 by Winnipeg before the bye week.
