Argonauts vs. Tiger-Cats Prediction & Odds: CFL Week 7 Expert Picks
📡 SBR Edge: Fade Tiger-Cats with Ford
My Argonauts vs. Tiger-Cats prediction includes Argonauts -5.5 (-108) and Under 55.5 (-106). Tre Ford will start at quarterback for Hamilton, which means the Tiger-Cats will likely struggle to score.

🏆 Who will win Argonauts vs. Tiger-Cats?
I like the Argonauts to beat the Tiger-Cats by eight points on Saturday.
The Tiger-Cats just lost to the Roughriders by 31 points in Week 6, and I'm not expecting their offense to get much better with Ford starting in place of injured quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell (ankle), who was the East finalist for Most Outstanding Player last season.
Score prediction: Argonauts 31, Tiger-Cats 23
💰 Argonauts vs. Tiger-Cats prediction & best bet
Argonauts -5.5 (-108)
The Tiger-Cats were just routed by the Roughriders in Week 6, yet the market is still underreacting to Mitchell's injury. Hamilton scored 27-plus points in each of its first three games this season but put up just seven in its first contest without Mitchell.
Argonauts -4.5 (-108) is actually the best line available among the top sports betting apps. However, I'll use -5.5 (-108) at DraftKings for my personal tracking, as it's a widely available line, and it would be misleading to recommend a bet at a sportsbook that most readers can't access.

Under 55.5 (-106)
Instead of starting the East finalist for MOP last season, the Tiger-Cats will roll out Ford, whose best season as a passer resulted in 12 touchdowns and six interceptions across 16 games in 2023. Hamilton will likely struggle to score with Ford at quarterback.
While the Argonauts should put up enough points to win by six or more, they're also coming off a bad week, scoring just 21 against the Blue Bombers while cashing the Under.
Under 55.5 (-106) at Caesars is the best line available among the top sports betting sites. I would make this line Under 55 (-102) at fair odds.

🌤️ Argonauts vs. Tiger-Cats weather
Temperatures in Hamilton on Saturday night will hover around 61°F, with a 55% chance of precipitation and wind gusts up to 30 mph.
Cool temperatures and a real chance of rain could make for a slicker ball and footing issues, but the 30 mph gusts are the bigger factor, threatening to disrupt passing lanes and field-goal tries all night.
As of publication, the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area is also dealing with an air quality warning, which could affect whether this game is played.
