Statistics (9 total teams):
Hamilton and BC are each (1-0) after winning their opening game of the 2016 CFL season. Hamilton finished the 2015 season with a (10-8) record whereas BC was (7-11). Hamilton had a (+141) point differential last season while BC (-49) was much lower.
Hamilton’s prolific offense led the league in scoring at (29.4) points per game. They will be up against a BC defense that ranked 6th in points allowed per game (27). The BC offense ranked 6th in points per game (24.3). They will square off with a Hamilton defense that ranked 3rd in points allowed per game (21.7).
Summary:
BC squeaked out a narrow 20-18 victory over Calgary last week while Hamilton blew out Toronto 42-20. Hamilton looked very impressive as their high powered offense can be very difficult to stop. BC looks like a mediocre team on paper and Hamilton is usually very tough to beat at home. I like Hamilton to win this one by double digits.
