  • The Over has cashed in 5 of Winnipeg’s last 6 games
  • The Over hit when the teams last met in June

  • Winnipeg Blue Bombers won 42-31 when the teams last met on June 10

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg have already clinched a playoff place, having won six of their last seven games to reach 10-3.

The Blue Bombers dropped a couple of games over the first six weeks, but have been in fantastic form since then.

They bounced back from a surprise 31-28 overtime defeat to Ottawa with a 28-14 victory over Edmonton, and that was followed by a 50-14 blowout of the BC Lions.

Winnipeg then went out on the road to down Edmonton 38-29 and Calgary 19-18 to put themselves on the brink of a playoff place.

That was secured when the Blue Bombers sandwiched a 32-20 overtime loss in Saskatchewan with a 47-17 victory over Montreal and a 51-6 demolition of the Roughriders.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton remain in the playoff hunt despite a mixed run of form that has left them 5-7 heading into this game.

The Tiger-Cats opened with three consecutive defeats, but were able to kick-start their season as they won three of their first four games after their first bye week of the season.

Their form cooled off in August though as they lost 27-14 to Montreal and then suffered a 24-10 defeat to Edmonton.

Hamilton then pulled off a 30-13 upset of the BC Lions on the road, only to quickly return to losing ways with a 41-28 defeat to Toronton.

The Tiger-Cats hit back last week though, edging Ottawa 27-24 to leave themselves a game behind Montreal in the race for second place in the East.

Verdict

Winnipeg have found road covers hard to come by recently, but this is a great opportunity for them to end that drought and we are backing them to take it.
