Alouettes look to pull off the impossible in Hamilton

The Montreal Alouettes will look to do the impossible Thursday in Hamilton: beat the Tiger-Cats at Tim Hortons Field.

The Tiger-Cats have won 10 in a row at their new home, dating back to last season and including the playoffs. Hamilton's 3-0 at home this season and comes into Thursday's game hot, atop the East Division and on a five-game winning streak.

The Alouettes are last in the East at 3-5, but their defence always gives them a chance. Montreal's allowed a league-low 148 points.

Montreal won the first meeting between the two clubs at home, 17-13 on July 16.
