Hamilton games have been going over lately. I feel Glenn will start and have a decent game throwing the ball. Two so-so defenses go head to head tonight. The total is now at 53.5
Montreal travels to Toronto trying to keep their perfect record against East teams.
Montreal has won 2 straight games. A couple of trends that you guys may consider. Montreal is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games on the road. Montreal is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games when playing on the road against Toronto.
Toronto`s defense looked like swiss cheese against a Hamilton offense last week.
Early lean for this game could be first half Montreal.
