Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg head back out on the road having lost their previous two games to fall to 6-6 on the season.

The Blue Bombers made a fast start to the season as they reeled off three consecutive victories, only to then go cold and lose three straight.

The stopped the rot with a 40-31 victory over Toronto, only to then return to losing ways with a 28-27 defeat in Calgary.

Winnipeg rallied as they beat Ottawa 30-27 at home and Montreal 26-13 on the road, but they have not won since that success against the Alouettes on August 21.

The Blue Bombers have dropped back-to-back meetings with Saskatchewan, losing 34-30 on the road and 21-13 at home.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton go into this matchup having snapped a three-game losing skid with a road win last weekend.

The Tiger-Cats endured a rough start to the season as they went into an early bye week with a 0-2 record, but their response was strong after the restart.

They reeled off six consecutive victories before finally seeing their tear come to an end with a 41-38 overtime defeat to the BC Lions.

That proved to be the start of a three-game skid for Hamilton as they lost 29-9 in Saskatchewan and 35-33 at home to Toronto either side of the bye week.

The Tiger-Cats avoided a fourth straight defeat however, as they travelled to Montreal to beat the Argonauts 26-9 last week.

Verdict

Hamilton have been the team in better form over the past several weeks despite that recent skid.

However, they have found home covers hard to come by while Winnipeg have repeatedly delivered in the underdog role, so give us the Blue Bombers and the free points.
