Hamilton is coming off an impressive road win while the Als are looking to rebound from their first loss of the season.

Montreal started as we thought that they would and have once again emerged as an elite CFL club. The only thing between them and a perfect season is an injury to Anthony Calvillo. They have been predictably great offensively but have looked uncharacteristically soft at time defensively.

Still as long as Anthony Calvillo is in the lineup, they have a chance to win.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have been wildly consistent this season – they look great one game and absolutely dreadful the next. [ad-4437448]

Last week, the Cats appeared to have put it all together – no better time as they head in to take on the best Eastern Conference team of the last decade. The difference in this game could be the presence of an uber-motivated running back Avon Coubourne who takes on his former team for the first time.

But overall the Cats are a very risky bet against the steady Alouettes.

CFL Betting Trends:

MONT are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Fri. games.
MONT are 23-11 ATS in their last 34 vs. East.
Under is 10-1 in HAM last 11 vs. East.
Under is 17-4 in HAM last 21 home games.
HAM are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Fri. games.
Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings in Hamilton.

Betting Prediction:

There is still a lack of clarity on Anthony Calvillo’s availability for Friday night’s game but even with him in the lineup I am expecting a very tight game. Montreal may win outright but expect the Cats to cover the spread in this one.

Consider the risk, take the Underdog in this one and let the parity discussion reign supreme.

CFL Pick:

Hamilton Tiger-Cats +3.5
Parlay with Winnipeg Blue Bombers -3 and the Under 52 points
