Hamilton looks to sweep the season series against a banged-up Winnipeg team that can’t find its footing on offense.<\/p>\n
This Week’s CFL Schedule<\/p>\n
Winnipeg Blue Bombers<\/a> at Hamilton Tiger-Cats<\/a><\/p>\n WhenSunday, July 5 at 7:00 PM ET Hamilton has won two straight and sits at 2-1, while Winnipeg has dropped back-to-back and comes in at 1-2. These two already met in Week 2, and it wasn’t close \u2014 the Ticats rolled 37-27 in Winnipeg. Now Hamilton gets a rematch at home, and the Bombers have to find a way to fix an offense that’s averaging just 75 points through three games, worst in the league.<\/p>\n Players to Watch:<\/p>\n Brady Oliveira (Winnipeg Blue Bombers, RB) \u2014 Still the engine of this offense with 222 yards on the ground, but he’s questionable with a knee injury and Winnipeg needs him at full speed to keep this game close. Injury Watch:<\/p>\n Brady Oliveira (Winnipeg Blue Bombers, RB) \u2014 Questionable, knee. Pick: Hamilton Tiger-Cats 34-24. Hamilton is 2-1 against the spread with three overs in three games, and with Winnipeg dealing with injuries to Oliveira and Ceresna, there’s no reason to expect a different result than Week 2.<\/p>\n CFL Standings<\/p>\n TeamWLPFPA<\/p>\n Edmonton Elks31108104 Quick Hits<\/p>\n Hamilton parted ways with DB Gregory Junior on July 3, cutting him loose as a free agent just days before this rematch.

\nStavros Katsantonis (Hamilton Tiger-Cats, DB) \u2014 Hamilton’s secondary has been opportunistic all year, and he’ll be tested against a Winnipeg passing game trying to find rhythm.
\nJake Ceresna (Winnipeg Blue Bombers, DL) \u2014 Listed questionable with a hip issue, but Winnipeg needs him rushing the passer if they’re going to slow down Hamilton’s offense, which has scored at least 37 in two of its last three.<\/p>\n
\nJake Ceresna (Winnipeg Blue Bombers, DL) \u2014 Questionable, hip.
\nWynton McManis (Hamilton Tiger-Cats, LB) \u2014 Listed as available despite a knee injury, a good sign for the Ticats defense.<\/p>\n

\nWinnipeg brought QB Dru Brown back off in-transit status onto the reserve roster, insurance if the offense keeps sputtering.
\nFantasy players should be cautious with Oliveira given his questionable tag \u2014 if he’s limited, expect Winnipeg to lean even harder on the pass.
\nHamilton has now scored 37-plus in back-to-back games and hasn’t allowed more than 27 points in any outing this season.<\/p>\n
