Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Predictions & Tips

Winnipeg are tipped to cover as they make a winning start to the season.

The Blue Bombers boast a championship-calibre roster that could win the Grey Cup for the third time in four seasons.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats lost 8 of their 10 road games in 2022

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form

Hamilton scraped into the playoffs last season despite an 8-10 losing record, but their stay was brief.

The Tiger-Cats got off to a rough start as they lost each of their first four games, before finally getting off the mark in Week 5.

They entered Week 14 with a 3-9 record, but due to how week the East was they were still firmly in the playoff picture.

Hamilton just needed to string together some wins and they did that, winning five of their final six games, including a 48-31 upset of Winnipeg.

That run set up an East semi-final showdown with Montreal, which the Tiger-Cats lost 28-17 to quickly exit the playoffs.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg put together a league-best 15-3 regular season record last year, but came up agonisingly short in their quest for a history Grey Cup three-peat.

The Blue Bombers made a fantastic start to the campaign as they won each of their first nine games.

They then responded to a first loss of the campaign with another three wins to have a playoff spot all but sewn up in early September.

Winnipeg wrapped up the regular season by splitting a couple of meetings with BC, and then beat the Lions 28-20 when the two teams met again in the West Final.

That set up a Grey Cup clash with Toronto, and the Blue Bombers saw their dreams of a third straight championship go up in smoke with a 24-23 defeat.

Verdict

HAM Tiger Cats @ WIN Bluebombers

Winnipeg are the favourites to go all the way this season and are backed to lay down an early marker.
