The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Toronto Argonauts meet Saturday in week 9 CFL action at BMO Field. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look for a win after splitting their last 4 games. The Toronto Argonauts look to get a game above a .500 record.

The Tiger-Cats are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Argonauts are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 9 and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. East. The under is 10-2 in Tiger-Cats last 12 road games. The under is 4-1 in Argonauts last 5 vs. East. The Tiger-Cats are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Toronto and 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 meetings.

There’s some value with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a road dog, given they’ve won 7 of the last 10 meetings against the Argos. However, it’s the Toronto Argonauts who have been the more impressive team up to this point, and they should be eager to get that nasty taste out of their mouth after their loss to Ottawa. Hamilton has zero success running the ball, and that’s a concern on the road. I’ll lay the small number with Toronto at home.
