Hamilton Tiger-Cats Host Roughriders In Regular Season Finale

A week after losing a pivotal game in Toronto, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will attempt to close out the regular season and enter the CFL playoffs on a high note when they host Saskatchewan on Saturday afternoon.

The Ticats (7-6) lost their opportunity to claim top spot in the East Division after losing 31-12 last week against the Toronto Argonauts.

A victory against the Roughriders, or a loss by Montreal against Ottawa Friday night, would secure a home playoff game for Hamilton on Nov. 28 against the Alouettes.

CHML’s coverage of Saturday’s game begins with the pregame show at 3 p.m. Kickoff is at 4 p.m.

After the game, catch The 5th Quarter on CHML, 900chml.com and on CHML’s Facebook page.
