Prediction: Hamilton Tiger-Cats VS Calgary Stampeders 2025-06-07

The CFL is back, baby! And what a way to kick off the season with a matchup between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Calgary Stampeders. Bo Levi Mitchell, the legendary quarterback, is looking to reach his 100th career regular-season victory, and he's got his sights set on doing it against his former team.

Now, let's get to the juicy stuff. The Stampeders have historically dominated this series, with a 40-10 record at home against the Tiger-Cats. But, as we all know, the past is just that - the past. This is a new season, with new players, and new storylines.

Both teams are struggling with injuries in their secondary, which could lead to a high-scoring game. And, boy, do I love a good shootout! The Over is 4-1 in the last five matchups between these two teams, and 8-2 in the last 10 Tiger-Cats games. You can bet your bottom dollar that I'm taking the Over 53.5 points in this one.

As for the moneyline, I'm going to take the Stampeders as a complementary bet. They're at home, and they've got a new quarterback in Vernon Adams Jr. who's looking to make a statement. Plus, they've got a chip on their shoulder after a disappointing 2024 season.

So, there you have it, folks. My best bet for this game is:

Over 53.5 points (-110)
Calgary Stampeders moneyline (+130)

This one's gonna be a barn burner, folks. Get ready for a wild ride!
