Sometimes it’s best to play right away against the team who just smoked you last game; as the wounds are still fresh and you get another kick at that cat!

Saskatchewan has just released their General Manager Roy Shivers and Eric Tillman will be the new GM in Saskatchewan. Therefore, players who were comfortable under the old regime will consider this a new start under a new GM Tillman, and I expect a high scoring game. Plus, Hamilton needs to find a way to score points at Ivor Wynne, as they’ve only managed 22 points in their last 3 games at home and are averaging 9.0 points at home this season.

In fact, I don’t see this pattern continuing for long and we have two good solid CFL QB going here this Saturday. Points will not be a problem Saturday night at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton, Ontario.

Play: OVER 47.5

I would avoid the over in this one as Hamilton has scored a mere 2 points in their last 2 home games combined and Saskatchewan is starting their 3rd string QB which will make them heavily reliant on the running game. Add to that a significant chance of rain and the over doesn't look too appetizing.
