Sliding Argos hope to break slump against rival Tiger-Cats

The Toronto Argonauts will hope to avoid a season sweep at the hands of their most bitter rival Sunday afternoon at BMO Field.

Toronto has dropped two games to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this season, including last week when they let a 20-point lead slip away on Labour Day.

The Argos have now lost four straight games, and they may be without quarterback Ricky Ray for this one. The signal-caller is reportedly out four-six weeks with a deflated lung, and Toronto didn't fair well when he was sidelined earlier in the year.

Logan Kilgore threw 10 interceptions in four games of relief, so the Argos will likely give Dan LeFevour a shot behind centre.

The Ti-Cats will look to build on last week's win in hopes of securing their third victory in four games. Zach Collaros has already proven his worth to the squad, as he's thrown for a whopping 14 touchdowns and 1,510 yards in only four games.

Collaros racked up four of those scores and 359 yards last week against an Argos defense that's now given up 132 points in their last four outings. If Toronto can't find a way to slow down the Ti-Cats pivot, expect Scott Milanovich and company to drop a fifth straight game.
