The Toronto Argonauts and Montreal Alouettes are playing live on Friday on the Canadian Football schedule for Week 6 and the game is live from Percival Molson Memorial Stadium in Quebec and the matchup starts at 7 pm ET and is live on ESPN from ESPN3 and WatchESPN online as these rivals from Canada matchup and this could be a high scoring game.
The Argonauts are coming into the game while dealing with a ton of injuries this season and that has been one reason why the team has struggled and now they face Montreal. The Alouettes have Troy Smith and he comes in looking to bounce forward after a tough loss against BC and that saw the team get beat two weeks ago with a score of 41-5 and the team only had 115 net yards and they need to play much better than that.
Toronto comes into the game after getting a loss against Saskatchewan and they are trying to get back on track and now they will have to do it on the road. The team has tough games coming up and they host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and they are playing very well, while BC will be next and then the team has games one the road against Edmonton and then against Hamilton. In the matchup earlier this season in Week 2 against the Roughriders, Ricky Ray had a nice game and added 400 yards and 4 touchdowns to get the team to 1-1, but they have not won since and now are looking to turn it around.
The rest of this week has games with BC and Calgary as well as Saskatchewan and Ottawa and now Montreal is looking to bounce back with quarterback Troy Smith and this is a big divisional game against Toronto. The Alouettes come in struggling and Toronto has injuries and that could mean a rough game on both sides, but each team needs the win and now they come in with a combined two wins and seven losses this season.
Toronto and Montreal are playing a divisional matchup in the east and this is a big game, as everyone is tied with two points in the division. Toronto is in the bottom with a 1-4 record and they have no lost three in a row and they have to go on the road again. The team has lost all three road games this season and they have allowed nearly 50 more points than they have scored and they need to get that right.
Montreal and Ottawa are tied in the division lead with two points, but they are just 1-3 and now the division can shift a bit after these games on Friday. The strongest defenses appear to be in the west this season and now Ottawa will try and hang tight and the east teams need to start shaping up, as they are fading back in the standings overall.
