LeoVegas favours the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in this one by a whopping 17.5 points!
Too much? Can Will Arndt, Brendan Gillanders, Dominique Rhymes, R.J. Harris, Brad Sinopoli and company actually find a way to throw sand in the up till now smoothly functioning gears of the Tiger-Cats?
Nope and nope. I suspect that the Ticats will more than cover the spread. OTTRBs might get into the game a bit late in the fourth - or whenever the Ticats start to take out some key starters and play some of their back ups (who are probably still better than many of the OTTRB starters!) :o
The Cats will want to continue their current winning streak – particularly their HOME winning streak – into the playoffs. By playing pre-season football now, they may find it hard to turn back to their winning ways come November 17. I’ve seen that sort of thing happen in the past.
But I can definitely see them pulling a lot of their starters early once the game is locked up. In this case, that may be around halftime.
BEAUTIFUL afternoon here in the Hammer. Just about to hop on my bike to head to the game - but here some shots I just took from my balcony of this perfect autumn day. Here Tim Hortons Field
And here another shot I just took of people taking advantage for another afternoon of sailing in the harbour here in Hamilton. And note how late the fall colours are this year here.
Nope - need to keep them sharp and not lose momentum. Too early to start resting players unnecessarily for a whole game when the EF isn’t for another month.
Looks like there’s more chatter on here than there is on the Ticats board and that’s unusual. Everyone must be at the game.
