The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are coming off their first win of the season when they edged the Redblacks 21-13 last week . They went 0-for-3 in the red zone in that contest but Matthew Shiltz looked solid under center while James Butler rushed for 62 yards on 17 carries. The Ticats surrendered 37.3 points per game through their first three contests of the season. However, their defense finally came to play last week, racking up five sacks and intercepting three passes while holding the Redblacks to 186 passing yards. To be fair, they benefited from playing against a pathetic Ottawa offense that was forced to play its third-string quarterback but the Edmonton Elks attack they face this week isn't any better.
The Elks have scored more than 13 points just once this season and that was in a blowout loss where they scored a pair of garbage-time touchdowns during the final three minutes. They picked up 21 first downs against the Riders last Thursday but still ended up with only 11 points and settled for four rouges. 
Although the Elks didn't allow many points, they still surrendered 360 net yards. Edmonton ranks last in the CFL in average yards allowed per play (6.60) and big plays allowed (13). 
The Elks have been especially awful against the run, getting gashed for 146.8 rushing yards per game on 5.6 yards per carry. The Ticats offense has floundered this season due to turnovers but if they cut down on those sloppy errors, they'll be able to move the ball.
Both teams have been complete disappointments this year. However, while the Ticats were expected to be Grey Cup contenders and have looked subpar, the Elks were only expected to be somewhat competitive and instead look like the worst team in the CFL once again.
They also generally haven't benefited from home-field advantage at Commonwealth Stadium but continue to get the customary bump on the spread when they play at home. They've gone just 0-18 SU and 3-15 ATS at home since the start of the 2021 season, which is automatic fade territory with this number sitting below a field goal. My best bet: Tiger-Cats -2.5 (-110 at bet365) Tiger-Cats vs Elks same-game parlay Tiger-Cats -2.5 (-115) James Butler Over 62.5 rush yds (-114) Kevin Brown Over 52.5 rush yds (-114) Both Hamilton and Edmonton have extremely talented lead backs in Butler and Brown. However, with both teams getting pummeled early in most games this season, they've often been forced to abandon the run.
Given that we're seeing a close spread for this contest, expect this game to be competitive enough that both backs get plenty of carries. That should result in decent rushing yards totals against the two-worst run defenses in the league.
The Elks are giving up a pathetic 146.8 rushing yards per game which is almost 30 ypg more than second-worst Hamilton, who surrenders 118.8 ypg. Even in their victo...
