Key Numbers – Will Hamilton’s Road Skid Reach 7 Games?

Ottawa Redblacks Still Winless After 14 Games

Ottawa are tipped to finally register their first win of the season.

The Redblacks offense has been firing in recent weeks, and another high-scoring performance could be enough against a Hamilton team that has been stacking up losses on the road.

Key Numbers – Will Hamilton’s Road Skid Reach 7 Games?

Hamilton Tiger-Cats have lost 6 straight road games
Ottawa Redblacks have scored 69 points across the last two games
The Over has cashed in 4 of Ottawa’s last 5 games
The Over has hit in each of Hamilton’s previous 3 games

Hamilton Tiger-Cats On 5-Game Losing Skid

Hamilton head out on the road for the final time this season having already been eliminated from the playoff race.

The Tiger-Cats still had an outside chance when they upset defending champions Saskatchewan on August 15, but their fading hopes quickly evaporated.

They returned to losing ways immediately with a 39-20 defeat in Toronto, and that proved to be the start of a season-ending five-game skid.

Hamilton lost 28-23 at Calgary and 37-22 at home to Toronto to enter their penultimate bye week at 4-9.

The Tiger-Cats then fell to 4-11 when they returned to action and followed up a 37-25 loss to Montreal with a 37-35 overtime defeat in Edmonton.

Ottawa Redblacks Still Winless After 14 Games

Ottawa are quickly running out of time in their quest to avoid going the entire season without a victory.

The Redblacks have come close to snapping their skid on several occasions, but ultimately they have come up short and that has left them with an 0-14 record heading into this game.

They had their final by week in early September, and when they returned to action they suffered a 26-23 defeat in Toronto.

Ottawa turned to quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson after that loss, and although that has not resulted in wins, it has provided the offense with a spark.

The Redblacks put up 38 points in a 40-38 defeat at Calgary, and then scored 31 points in last week’s rematch, which ended in a 45-31 defeat at home.

Verdict

HAM Tiger-Cats @ OTT Redblacks

Ottawa’s defense continues to be a major problem, but the offense is coming off its two best performances of the season.

They now get to face a Hamilton defense that has given up a ton of points in recent weeks, so we are going to take a chance on the Redblacks.
