Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Toronto Argonauts 8/26/22 - CFL Picks & Predictions

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look for their fourth victory of the season on Friday when visiting the Toronto Argonauts. Hamilton is third in the East division at 3-7. Hamilton was defeated last Saturday by Montreal 29-28. Matt Shiltz passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns, while Don Jackson rushed for 41 yards and Tim White caught 11 passes for 145 yards and two touchdown receptions. 

Matt Shiltz has passed for 604 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while taking the place of Dane Evans, who has thrown for 2,229 yards with 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Don Jackson is the leading rusher with 229 yards and one touchdown, while the leading receiver is Tim White with 654 yards and five touchdowns receptions. Hamilton is scoring an average of 22.3 points per game which is sixth in the CFL and is allowing an average of 26.5 points per game which is seventh.

Toronto looks to take a firmer grasp on first place in the East division with a victory on Friday. The Argonauts are 4-5 and hold a half-game lead over Montreal. Toronto was defeated by the Calgary Stampeders 22-19 last Saturday. McLeod Bethel-Thompson passed for 276 yards with one interception, while AJ Ouellette was the leading receiver with 92 yards.

McLeod Bethel-Thompson has passed for 2,506 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while the leading receiver for Toronto is Kurleigh Gittens Jr with 527 yards and one touchdown reception. The leading rusher is Andrew Harris with 490 yards. Toronto is scoring an average of 22.1 points per game which is seventh in the CFL and is allowing an average of 25.6 points per game which is sixth.

Toronto pulled off a big upset over Winnipeg two weeks ago but was brought back to reality when losing to Calgary this past Saturday. However, the Argonauts will be up against a weak Hamilton side that has failed to cover the number in eight of the last 11 and Toronto at home has covered the number in three of its last five. Look for those trends to continue as Toronto holds onto first place in the East with a victory on Friday. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Argonauts win and cover ATS 27-20.
