Agatha's pick for RedBlacks vs Tiger-Cats

The Tiger-Cats. Agatha gave Hamilton a 75% chance to win. It was one of Agatha's Best CFL Bets for Oct 24.

Why Agatha picked the Tiger-Cats

The head-to-head decides it: the Tiger-Cats have won five of the six meetings since Sep 14, 2024, including the latest, 34-16 on Oct 2, 2026. They also allow fewer points per game than the RedBlacks, 29.5 to 37.5, and Tre Ford starts in place of Harrison Frost, who is on the one-game injured list. The game is at Tim Hortons Field. Agatha's prediction is a 34-25 Tiger-Cats win, about a 3-in-4 chance. The risk is that the RedBlacks beat the Toronto Argonauts 40-39 on Oct 16 and score 24.4 points per game this season.
