Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell is on an impressive streak, showcasing stellar performance in his recent starts. Over his last two games, the veteran quarterback has demonstrated remarkable accuracy and efficiency.
Mitchell completed an outstanding 34 of 42 passes, accumulating 572 yards and throwing eight touchdowns without a single interception. He achieved perfect efficiency ratings of 158.3 in both games, a feat only accomplished by seven other quarterbacks in CFL history, and the first since Toronto's Ricky Ray in 2013.
This strong play bodes ill for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who are scheduled to face a rested Ticats squad coming off a bye week. Hamilton boasts a formidable record of 14-5 after a bye since 2018 and has won six of its last seven home matchups against Winnipeg.
Mitchell, 36, holds a 14-9 record against the Blue Bombers and has been perfect in the red zone this season, going 12-for-12 with four touchdowns. He is also tied with Ricky Ray for sixth in all-time wins with 112.
Despite Mitchell's individual success, the Tiger-Cats rank seventh in passing yards and rushing this season. Winnipeg's defense, however, is tops against the pass but allows a high number of rushing yards per game. The article picks Hamilton to win the upcoming matchup.
