Score Prediction

Hamilton Tiger-Cats 32 – Calgary Stampeders 10

The Tiger-Cats ride the arm of Bo Levi Mitchell and home-field advantage to a narrow victory in a competitive game that goes down to the wire. Hamilton’s offense proves too much for Calgary’s struggling defense, while the Stampeders show fight but ultimately fall short on the road.
