This will be the third time these teams play each other this month, so there’s going to be no surprises. The first two meetings were split down the middle, and you could argue the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have been the better team up to this point. However, this line feels like oddsmakers are begging you to take Hamilton in the underdog role. The Toronto Argonauts need a win here to stop the bleeding, and being at home should help. The Argonauts entered the year as a contender in the East, and they’ve been shaky at best their last few games. They write the ship here. I’ll lay the small number.
