It's a battle of first versus worst on Saturday night as the East-leading Hamilton Tiger-Cats travel to face the basement-dwelling Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium.
Quarterback Zach Collaros has starred for Hamilton since returning six games ago from a knee injury, averaging 350 yards passing per game and throwing 16 touchdowns in the process.
The veteran pivot's return has the Ti-Cats' offense firing on all cylinders, trailing just the Calgary Stampeders for most points in the league, and the high-powered attack should feast on a poor Riders defense.
Chris Jones' outfit has disappointed in his first season with the team, allowing a whopping 387 points on the campaign. While Hamilton leads the league with 39 sacks, the Riders have struggled for a pass rush all season, and have registered just 15 sacks. That doesn't bode well in trying to slow down the red-hot Collaros.
Saskatchewan finally broke its seven-game losing streak last week, emerging with a 26-23 win at home against the Edmonton Eskimos, but this matchup certainly doesn't look promising for a third win on the season. The worst defense and worst offense in the league will be in tough as Hamilton looks to create some distance between itself and the second-place Ottawa RedBlacks in the East.
