The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are probably the better team here given their success on both sides of the ball, but the bottom line is they’ve had issues finishing games, and they had trouble putting Montreal away earlier this season at home. The Montreal Alouettes are coming off an impressive showing on the road against Winnipeg, and maybe that’s a turning point in their season. Two teams that run hot and cold, but I’ll give the edge to Montreal because of how it played last week and the fact it’s at home here. I’ll lay the small number.
