The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are coming off a feel good win over the Blue Bombers, but it should take more than that to sell you on this club that’s had more rough spots than positive. The Montreal Alouettes have played the Tiger-Cats well this season, which includes a win about a month ago, and they’ve had an extra week to prepare for this game. I’ll lay the small chalk with the home team.
