Hamilton Tiger-Cats at BC Lions Predictions & Picks

BC are tipped to cover as they win back-to-back games for the first time this season.

The Lions are playing on the back of a morale-boosting win in Winnipeg, while Hamilton arrive in poor form and have struggled offensively since losing their starting QB.

  • BC Lions split their 4 games during July
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats are 1-4 in their last 5 games
  • The Under has cashed in 4 of Hamilton’s last 5 games
  • The Under has hit in each of BC Lions’ previous 3 games

Head To Head

  • BC Lions lead the all-time series 60-39-2
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats won 41-27 when the two teams last met on June 19

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton head back out on the road having now lost back-to-back games, and four of the last five, to fall to 3-5.

The Tiger-Cats made a losing start to the season as they fell 30-27 in overtime at home to Montreal, but they responded quickly to that setback.

They got off the mark with a 37-27 victory in Winnipeg, before returning home to take down the BC Lions, 41-27, to enter the bye week at 2-1.

Hamilton failed to maintain that momentum after the break though, as they were beaten 14-13 by Winnipeg and 38-7 at Saskatchewan.

The Tiger-Cats avoided a third straight loss by beating Toronto 24-23, but their joy was short-lived as they then lost 31-18 in Montreal and 44-20 at home to Calgary.

BC Lions Form

BC return home looking to win back-to-back games for the first time this season, having improved to 2-5 last time out.

The Lions sat out opening weekend with a bye, but when they did finally get their campaign underway, they made a rough start.

They opened with back-to-back road defeats, losing 31-27 in Saskatchewan and 41-27 at Hamilton, before losing their home opener against Calgary, 41-33.

BC finally got off the mark before their second bye, beating Edmonton 36-24, only to then return with defeats to Edmonton, 19-17, and Toronto, 26-12.

The Lions avoided a third consecutive loss though, as they snapped that losing sequence with a 35-19 victory in Winnipeg last time out.

Verdict

BC have not enjoyed the best of starts, but they will have been buoyed by the win in Winnipeg.

They now face a Hamilton team that is again without Bo Levi Mitchell, so we are backing the Lions to build a little momentum with a victory here.
