Hamilton -5.5 total 49
Looking at the numbers after only two games, the one thing that sticks out to me is the run defenses. Calgary has allowed 406 rush yards in 2 games while Hamilton has only allowed 208 rush yards. In the NFL, the team that wins the rushing battle covers over 70% of the time. Both teams have scored 42 pts but Hamilton has allowed 20 less. Calgary also is giving up over 325 yds passing/game. They've allowed 7 sacks (Hamilton only 4). Hamilton hasn't gotten the breaks on fumbles and they are -4 in turnovers while Calgary is actually plus 1. Both teams last played July 5 so no unfair rest advantages. Hamilton has won the last 3 meetings, each by 3 pts or less.
