Blue Bombers -10.5 ⭐⭐⭐
Don't let Winnipeg's 4-6 record fool you, this is one of the best teams in the CFL.
After making it to four straight Grey Cups, it looked like Mike O'Shea's team was finally taking a step back after starting the season 0-4. But this has been a completely different team since the start of July.
It's been all about the running game and defense, two things Hamilton is certainly going to struggle with in this matchup. Winnipeg running back Brady Oliveira has been an unstoppable force this season.
He leads the league in rushing yards (689) with a whopping 5.9 per carry, which is why he's a contender by the CFL Most Outstanding Player odds. He'll surely add to his total against the Tiger-Cats, who allow the second-most yards per carry in the league (5.2).
This is a defense that has all kinds of issues and allows the most points per game (33.4) in the CFL, so Zach Collaros should be able to carve it up, too.
And given its issues at quarterback this season, Hamilton likely won't be able to keep up, especially against this defense.
The Blue Bombers have the best defense in the league, ranking first in yards allowed per game (333.6), passing yards allowed (222.7), QB rating allowed (83.8), and points allowed per game (19.7).
If Winnipeg keeps cruising and covers, a $10 bet pays a $9.01 profit.
