The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1-0) head up the QEW to battle the Toronto Argonauts (0-0) in their season opener after a Week 1 bye due to the odd number of teams in the Canadian Football League. It's the final game of the Week 2 CFL slate.

The Ti-Cats ended up going a perfect 3-0 SU/ATS in the three battles last season in this series, with the over cashing in all three meetings. Hamilton outscored Toronto by an average of 37.3-24.3 in those battles. The last time the Argos beat the Ti-Cats in Toronto was June 25, 2017, a 32-15 victory as 3.5-point underdogs.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Toronto Argonauts: Picks and Betting Tips

</div> Spread: The Tiger-Cats ( -3.5, -115) are favored on the road against the Argonauts (+3.5, -105), and for good reason. They dominate this series. The only thing Toronto has going for themselves is the fact they were off last week and are rested. Moneyline: If you don't want to lay the three and a hook, buy a half-point or point. If you're really not feeling Hamilton laying the points, but still feel it'll win a nail-biter, grab the Ti-Cats on the moneyline ( -170). They're not terribly expensive. However, remember that the Argos lost all three games against the Ti-Cats last season by an average of 13 points. Over/under: The OVER ( 52.5, - 115) hit in all three games last season, and defense isn't a hallmark of Toronto's game. The over has cashed in each of the past four meetings in this series, while going 4-1-1 in the past six battles in Toronto. The over is also 5-0 in the past five road games for the Ti-Cats, while the over is 5-2 in the past seven home games for the Argos.
