Montreal Alouettes at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Preview & Picks

Hamilton are tipped to spring an upset and book their place in the Grey Cup.

The Tiger-Cats swept the Alouettes during the regular season, winning both matchups in convincing fashion, and that makes them an appealing underdog in this one.

  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats won the 2 regular season meetings
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats covered in both regular season meetings
  • Both regular season meetings produced under 52.5 total points

Head To Head

  • Montreal Alouettes lead the series 9-2 since August 2022
  • Hamilton Tiger-Cats won 26-9 when the two teams last met on September 6

Montreal Alouettes Form

Montreal enter this matchup in good form, having now won six of their last seven games to reach the Division Finals.

The Alouettes booked their place in the postseason by going 10-8 during the regular season, with five of those victories coming in their last six games.

They beat Saskatchewan 48-31 and Toronto 21-19 on the road, before returning home to down Calgary 38-20 and Ottawa 30-10.

Montreal then beat Ottawa 39-28 on the road, before seeing their streak end with a ‘dead rubber’ defeat in Winnipeg, 19-10.

The Alouettes bounced back immediately though, advancing from the Division Semi-Finals last weekend with a 42-33 victory over the Blue Bombers.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton booked their place in the postseason by winning 11 of their 18 games to finish top of the East Division.

The Tiger-Cats opened the campaign with back-to-back defeats, but rallied from that early setback with a six-game win streak to kick-start their season.

That run was ended in August though, and they went on to lose three straight before responding with three consecutive wins to stay on course for the playoffs.

Hamilton lost two of the next three however, leaving them in danger of missing out on top spot and a playoff bye.

The Tiger-Cats did get over the line though, beating Ottawa 35-15 in their final regular season game to finish one clear of Montreal in the standings.

Verdict

Montreal are a team with momentum, but Hamilton have had their number this season.

Not only did they win both regular season meetings, but they did it comfortably too, so give us the Tiger-Cats and the plus-money.
