REGINA — If Week 2 was any indication, the Week 3 finale shouldn’t be short on excitement.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Saskatchewan Roughriders renew acquaintances on Sunday night at Mosaic Stadium, one week after the Riders went on the road and took a 33-30 victory from the Ticats at Tim Hortons Field.
The Riders were very fortunate to win the last game - the Cats will “Eat-M-Raw” then spit them out on Sunday! Cats by 10!
Or so some hope…others still, will hope for the different outcome
A few things will be different this time, right out of the gate:
The home team advantage. I got the sense with both of Hamilton’s previous games that they’re not a weathered team and who knows how loud Mosaic will get.
Penalties. If the Riders keep themselves disciplined at the beginning of the game, they won’t need to rely on come-from-behind victories like the first two weeks.
The Command Centre. They were Hamilton’s almost-MVP last week after that silly helmet call. Will they come through again for the black & gold?
Which team gels? I suspect that the Riders have the advantage here with a core which has remained largely intact, or has added other vets of the league vs Hamilton’s lineup.

Good to see so many Rider fans jumping to their defence - too bad for them. BTW - where is the weekly injurt report for both teams? Tigers by 14!
Well you were close. Only off by 2.
Well the refs and command center did gift them one TD late in the game
