This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the Ti-Cats.

A battle of bottom feeders here, as the 0-4 Ottawa Redblacks are in Hamilton to take on the 0-4 Ti-Cats.

Only one team can leave a winner here, and in our opinion, the "home field" advantage can't be overlooked as a very real deciding factor in the outcome of this one.

Hamilton has had a week off after an upset 29-25 Canada Day home loss to the lowly Edmonton Elks.

Ottawa though not only lost 28-13 to Saskatchewan last weekend, but it also lost starting quarterback Jeremiah Masoli to injury.

Hamilton has to be feeling confident here, as it's won four straight in the series while limiting the Redblacks to just 7.3 points per game during that stretch.

Hamilton is also 6-0 SU in its last six as a home favorite of 7 or more points vs. Ottawa, covering the spread in four of those.

Caleb Evans may go on to become the next Doug Flutie, but I say the 23-year old struggles on the road after throwing for five scores and nine picks in eight appearances last season.

It's now or never for Hamilton QB Dane Evans and company.

We'll recommend a second look at HAMILTON on Saturday night

Good luck, NP
