Betting Preview
Hamilton has no luck against Montreal this season
While it would only be a moral victory, seeing the Hamilton Tiger-Cats score end up in the win column for the Tiger-Cats may be a big emotional boost.
Hamilton lost both of the first two meetings with Montreal this season by double figures. In those games, the Tigers-Cats could only score 14 and 12 points, respectively.
The Tiger-Cats haven’t had much stability at quarterback this season. Anyone doing Tiger-Cats vs Alouettes betting will see that three quarterbacks attempted 70 or more passes this season.
During Hamilton’s last game, a 33-30 loss to B.C., Matthew Shiltz and Bo Levi Mitchell each attempted more than ten passes.
As a result, the Tiger-Cats offense has struggled to be consistent. Hamilton is seventh in the league in points per game, scoring 22.8 per contest. The Tiger-Cats’ defense allows 25.8 points per game.
Montreal has dominated most of the league
If Winnipeg, Toronto, and B.C. weren’t on the Alouettes’ schedule, they may be undefeated this season. Montreal has gone 0-7 against the top three teams in the league and 10-0 against everyone else. Not having to play the top three teams during the last month of the season made the Alouettes one of the more consistent teams in the league.
CFL player stats show that Montreal has won all of these games despite not having a dominant passing attack. Quarterback Cody Fajardo has thrown for 3,775 passing yards with only 13 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. Montreal will be looking to set its CFL injury report correctly for this week’s matchup.
