Tiger-Cats at Eskimos 9/20/19 - CFL Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 09/17/2019 at 4:53 PM ET
On Friday, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats visit the Edmonton Eskimos for a Week 15 CFL showdown. The Tiger-Cats are coming off a 19-18 loss to the Calgary Stampeders in their last outing. Brandon Banks caught a 30-yard touchdown pass in the loss, and the Tiger-Cats led 17-6 at the half, but the Tiger-Cats could not score against the Stampeders defense in the second half, and gave Calgary too many scoring opportunities.
Edmonton enjoyed a bye during Week 14 and lost to the Calgary Stampeders in Week 13 by the score of 33-17. Edmonton fell to 6-6 with the loss and has lost three straight and played without starting quarterback Trevor Harris due to an upper body injury. Harris is questionable for Friday’s game against the Tiger-Cats, but Logan Kilmore is ready to go if Harris cannot.
Dane Evans has 1,951 yards passing, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions for the Tiger-Cats. The leading rusher for Hamilton is Sean Thomas Erlington with 224 yards. Brandon Banks has 967 yards receiving and six touchdown receptions, while Bralon Addison has 854 yards receiving and five TD receptions.

Betting Trends for vs
Hamilton has covered the number in each of the last 6 played at Edmonton and with Trevor Harris questionable under center for the Eskimos that trend will continue. The Eskimos have failed to cover the number in each of the last 5 versus an opponent with a winning record and 5 of the last 6 overall. The Tiger-Cats lost a tough battle last time out against Calgary but will win and cover on the road Friday. Final Score Prediction, Hamilton Tiger-Cats win and cover ATS 27-22.
