Statistics (9 total teams):
Toronto is (2-2) on the season while Montreal is (1-2). Toronto (-8) has the 6th best point differential in the CFL. Montreal (-31) has the worst point differential in the league. Toronto ranks 7th in points per game (23.8) and 7th in fewest points allowed (25.8). Montreal ranks 9th in points per game (14.0) and 5th in fewest points allowed (24.3).
Summary:
Toronto is coming off a 30-20 loss to Ottawa whereas Hamilton defeated Montreal 31-7. Montreal actually has a respectable defense but they simply can’t score. Inconsistent quarterback play has killed them all season. Montreal struggles when they go down early because they so heavily rely on running the ball. Toronto, while not a great team, is more balanced and should win this one at home.
