The Toronto Argonauts have shown progress as of late, but it’s easy to ignore a team that’s lost eight of their last 11 games, especially in the favorite role. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have also won seven straight against the Argos and eight of the last nine meetings, which includes a win last week. It’s hard to ignore the history between these two teams and even tougher to lay chalk with a team that continues to find ways to lose. Give me the Tiger-Cats and the points.
