CFL Game Day: Hamilton at Toronto (September 8)

Will the Hamilton Tiger Cats exact a little payback for their loss to Toronto at Ivor Wynne last weekend? Can Henry Burris get untracked and begin to take charge of a TiCat offence that has sputtered at inopportune times? And will Hamilton's defensive unit finally find the correct mix to reverse what has been a rather unusual state of affairs in Hamilton a team that gives up points in rather alarming fashion.

Those are some of the talking points the Cats bring up the highway with them on Saturday for the back end of the Labour Day classic wars...

Saturday's game also provides the CFL with a dandy visual experience, with both Chad Owens and Chris Williams lighting up the scoreboards and wreaking havoc on the record books another chapter of which could be written in Toronto this weekend.

For the Argos, it's a chance to build some separation between themselves and the folks from SouthWestern Ontario, follow up on the good vibe of the Hamilton victory last week where the Double Blue ruined the Labour Day plans of the Hamilton faithful, sending off Ivor Wynne's final Labour Day Classic with a win in the Double Blue side of the ledger.

More importantly, the Argos can continue to build on some momentum that has slowly started to move their way, with an eye on the Grey Cup game hosting duties of late November, the Argos are now making some noise that they may have plans to be playing in that game as well.

Before that though, with is still down the road a bit, there's a lot of football to be played, the latest step comes up in Toronto Saturday afternoon.

Game Time 1 PM ET, 10 AM ET Rogers Centre (TSN)

Hamilton 31 at Toronto 45 (23,061)
