The Eskimos have jumped out to a SU 3-0 start to take the early lead in the West Division, but they have failed to cover as favorites in their last two games. The total has stayed UNDER the closing line in all three contests. Mike Reilly has thrown for 866 yards and four touchdowns while Travon Van remains the team’s leading rusher with 153 yards on 35 carries.

Edmonton Eskimos at Hamilton Tiger Cats Prediction
Hamilton has been outscored by a combined 49 points in its 0-3 start both SU and ATS. While the Tiger-Cats’ offense is averaging 20.3 PPG, their defense has allowed at least 32 points in each of the three losses. I do not think they can turn things around that quickly this week against one of the powers from the West, so I am going with Edmonton both SU and ATS.
Free Pick:
Take Edmonton -3.5
