Eskimos at Tiger-Cats 8/23/18 - CFL Picks & Predictions

Off to a solid 6-3 start to the year and within striking distance of the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL's Western Division, the Edmonton Eskimos travel to Hamilton to battle the Tiger-Cats.

Jeremiah Masoli has been solid at Quarterback for the Tiger-Cats this season and has thrown for 2465 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. Brandon Banks is the leading receiver for the Tiger-Cats and has 51 receptions for 718 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Tiger-Cats have struggled on the ground this season and are hoping that Alex Green (31 carries, 137 yards, 4 touchdowns in 2 games) can solve their rushing woes.

The Tiger-Cats may have the home field advantage, but the defense for the Tiger-Cats will have some trouble stopping the throwing of Mike Reilly. Reilly on the season has been able to completely pick apart defenses on the season and this should be easy for him to continue to do against the Tiger-Cats defense. Look for the Eskimos to bring home a win with a strong offensive attack that lights up the scoreboard. Final Score Prediction, Edmonton Eskimos win and cover ATS 42-24.
