CFL Gameday: Hamilton at Montreal (October 16)

The good news for the Tiger Cats heading into Sunday's eastern clash is that we don't believe that Anthony Calvillo can set accept any new awards from the CFL today, he can however add to some of his existing totals and somehow we imagine that those numbers will expand as Sunday moves forward.

Hamilton's inconsistent nature of late gets another opportunity for reversal on Sunday afternoon, as they struggle to remain within striking distance of their CFL east partners in Montreal and Winnipeg.

With the Bombers losing in Edmonton on Saturday however, the Alouettes we imagine will be itching to put their stamp on the game and take their share back of the CFL East Division lead, a victory which if it comes to pass would move the Als into an undisputed hold on first place with 20 points and set the table nicely for next weeks' match up with the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg.

For the Cats, who are once again starting to fade in the late going of a CFL season, considering their struggles at gaining momentum this year falling further behind in the standings is setting their table for a playoff post season that will require road trips at every step of the process.
