CFL: Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Toronto Argonauts Preview
The Hamilton Tiger Cats will take on the Toronto Argonauts in Toronto, Friday August 20th. Both teams were underdogs on the Las Vegas betting line last week and both won their games straight up. Hamilton shocked the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on their home field, beating them 39-28 and Toronto won as a home underdog over a hot Montreal Alouettes team, 37-22. Now they both face off for the first CFL game of Week 8.
The Hamilton Tiger Cats enter the game with a hot quarterback in Kevin Glenn and a hot slot receiver in Arland Bruce. Bruce scored the game winner last weekend against Winnipeg. The Hamilton Tiger Cats have struggled in the 2010 CFL season and are still below .500 with a record of 3-4. As per the latest football reviews, this game against Toronto will make or break the season for Hamilton. It could get them off to a fresh start for the second half of the season.
The Toronto Argonauts are on the other end of the spectrum. Coming off a win against East Division rival, Montreal, the Toronto Argonauts are now 5-2 and tied with Montreal for a share of the East Division lead. Toronto cannot afford to let one slip against a hungry Hamilton Tiger Cats team.
Toronto’s Cleo Lemon may not be the popular choice at quarterback but he is Head Coach Jim Barker’s choice, so he isn’t going anywhere. Running back Cory Boyd and Lemon have worked well together to this point of the CFL season and they should be more than capable of disposing of the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
