Key Matchups & Storylines
Quarterbacks: Montreal’s Davis Alexander (75.6 % completion, 5 TDs, 2 INTs) may rest due to a hamstring injury, with veteran McLeod Bethel‑Thompson stepping in—a proven East All-Star. Hamilton relies on Bo Levi Mitchell, who’s thrown for 640 yards but just 2 TDs against 1 INT.
Offensive balance: Montreal leads the league in passing (803 yds) and ranks high on the ground (121 yds/game), led by RB Sean Thomas‑Erlington and emerging options like Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead. Montreal’s front-line and secondary—bolstered by pass rushers Isaac Adeyemi‑Berglund and Lwal Uguak—have harassed opposing offenses all season.
Hamilton’s vulnerabilities: Their front seven has struggled, particularly against the run, and rookie LB Devin Veresuk is taking over the middle linebacker role after Gary Wilson’s departure.
Weather & Intangibles
Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET at Tim Hortons Field. Expect mild temperatures (~25 °C) with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Home-field energy could help Hamilton early—but Montreal’s efficiency should carry the day.
Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats Prediction
Expect Montreal’s offense and defense to dictate terms from start to finish. While Hamilton may keep it respectable in spurts at home, the Alouettes look ready to impose their will.
