The set-up: Hamilton's 3-0 to start the year and I think it'll keep the foot on the gas for at least one more week. Last week Hamilton annihilated Montreal by 31 points and I expect a similar beatdown here as well. Hamilton QB Jeremiah Masoli so far has 924 yards over three games, while his favorite target Brandon Banks leads the league with 334 yards receiving. Montreal comes into this one having lost ten in a row dating to last year.

The pick: Note that the Als are just 1-5 in their last six in this series and in their five losses they've posted a total of only 52 points (that's an average of 10.4 PPG.) And that's bad news for this beleaguered Montreal defense, as Hamilton has so far posted a total of 128 points over its first three victories, which averages out to 42.6 PPG (but note, the defense for Hamilton has been even better, allowing an average of only 13.6 PPG thus far!) This one has "blowout" written all over it. Consider laying the points on Thursday night.
