Ah, the Canadian Football League, where footballs take on an entirely different shade of rouge. Montreal Alouettes flying into Hamilton city to peck away at the Tiger-Cats, I wish we had popcorn for this.
Montreal, as fresh as a just-baked croissant this season, sporting an unblemished 3-0 record. They are hotter than a jazz club at midnight right now, folks. Their recent victory parade includes Edmonton Elks, Ottawa Redblacks, and of course, the ketchup to their poutine, Toronto Argonauts. Oh, and did I mention they're comfortably perched on top of the East Division?
Sliding over to Hamilton, well, they're more like organ-grinder monkeys in tiger suits right now. A win has been scarcer than a decent cup of coffee in the press box - they're 0-2 this season. The Tiger-Cats, mewling rather than roaring, are finding their claws rather blunt against opponents lately. Sad if you're a Tiger-Cats fan, kind of funny if you're not, and they're currently third in the East Division.
When it comes to head-to-head history, Montreal is Hamilton’s lucid nightmare - they’ve been sweeping victory after victory under their wings. Sharp eyes, sharper claws, the Alouettes' prey has pretty consistently been sporting stripes.
But, remember, this is Canadian football and about as predictably unpredictable as a moose on a highway. Given past track, recent form, and respective positions, I’d be willing to stake my last Timbit on this one.
