Argonauts vs Tiger-Cats Prediction
Hamilton has shown more balance in recent weeks, leaning on a run game that shortens contests and a defense that thrives on pressure. Toronto counters with a veteran quarterback and a receiving corps that can stretch the field, but questions remain about their pass protection against Hamilton’s aggressive front.
The Labour Day Classic often produces close finishes, yet the Tiger-Cats’ ability to control the line of scrimmage and generate turnovers tips the edge their way. Expect a back-and-forth battle with late fireworks, but Hamilton’s defense seals it in crunch time.
Score Prediction: Tiger-Cats 26, Argonauts 23
Best Bet: Tiger-Cats -2.5
