At the onset of the season, the British Columbia Lions ripped off three straight wins and covers. But a blowout loss to Winnipeg put them in their place. BC is fresh off a bye and ready to get back on track. The Lions will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday night. Although Hamilton is off to a bad start, they are coming off a thrilling betting on CFL win last week. Ti-Cat fans are hoping that the comeback triumph is a sign of better days to come. But Hamilton faces a strong BC team showing great balance.
