Ottawa Redblacks Form

Ottawa head to Hamilton in desperate need of a victory, having lost four of their first five games this season.

The Redblacks opened up on the road and suffered a 31-26 defeat at the hands of the Roughriders in Saskatchewan.

They then suffered a 39-18 defeat to Montreal in their home opener, before finally getting off the mark with a 20-12 success in Calgary.

Ottawa have been unable to back up that victory though, losing each of their previous two games.

The Redblacks lost 29-16 at home to defending champions Toronto, before heading to Edmonton for a 39-33 defeat to the Elks.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton enter this matchup having rebounded from a slow start to the season with back-to-back wins since the bye week.

The Tiger-Cats kicked off the 2025 campaign on the road and were beaten 38-26 in Calgary.

That became back-to-back defeats a week later as they dropped their home opener against Saskatchewan, losing 28-23.

Hamilton went into the bye following that loss, but they have breathed new life into their season since returning to action.

The Tiger-Cats first upset Montreal 35-17, and they backed that up last week with a 51-38 victory at defending champions Toronto.

Verdict

Hamilton appear to have put their poor start firmly behind them in recent weeks.

The offense has been lighting up opposition defenses, so we are backing the Tiger-Cats to cover as they make it three-in-a-row.
