Randy’s Pick

The Saskatchewan Roughriders play their best ball at home, so I can understand them getting the benefit of the doubt despite losing 4 straight games. The Roughriders have been on the road in 3 of their last 4 games. With that said, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are the better team no matter how you slice it, and they’ve had great success on the road. The Roughriders ave issues finishing drives offensively, and their defense is ninth in scoring defense. Give me the Tiger-Cats and the free points.
