Hamilton Tiger-Cats come off bye week and into an important four-game stretch
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats head into an important four-game stretch following their first of two bye weeks.
The East Division-leading Ticats (9-2) visit the Calgary Stampeders (7-4) on Saturday in the first of four straight games versus West Division clubs. Hamilton will also play Edmonton (6-6) and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-3) before returning to Tim Hortons Field to host the Eskimos on Oct. 4.
Hamilton is a solid 5-1 versus West Division rivals this season. But the Stampeders are 2-0 with CFL/Grey Cup MVP Bo Levi Mitchell back in the lineup and coming off a Labour Day sweep of the Eskimos.
Edmonton has dropped three straight but remains 4-2 at Commonwealth Stadium. And West Division-leading Winnipeg is a stellar 6-0 at IG Field.
