Statistics (9 total teams):

Hamilton is (1-2) on the season while Montreal is (1-1).  Both teams have an identical (-7) point differential.  Hamilton ranks 6^th in points per game (23.0) and 6^th in fewest points allowed (25.3).  Montreal ranks 9^th in points per game (17.5) and 2^nd in fewest points allowed (21.0).

Summary:

Montreal is coming off of their bye week while Hamilton suffered a disappointing 28-24 loss to Winnipeg.  Montreal’s formula for winning is playing great defense and ball control with their star running back Tyrell Sutton.  Sutton led the CFL in rushing last year.  Montreal struggles to score and have trouble if they fall behind early.  Hamilton is the more balanced team and should take this one on the road.
