CFL Grey Cup Bets are finally upon the betting masses. After the Division Finals saw some surprising results, we are left with a Grey Cup Final that includes Winnipeg (not a surprise) and Montreal (oh what a surprise). After 23 weeks, the Canadian Football League will end its season at Tim Horton Field in Hamilton, Ontario. So, Vegas Betting asks if Winnipeg can seal the deal on Sunday evening.
Toronto was supposed to play Winnipeg but a funny thing happened on the way to the Grey Cup Final. This left half of Canada completely stunned. Bovada online sportsbook had Toronto pegged to win the East. That is why CFL Playoff Futures got derailed when Montreal pounced on a bounty of turnovers and upset the Argonauts last weekend in Toronto. It was stunning, swift, and brutal in the end.
Both the Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers felt like this pre-destined matchup all season. Toronto was going to try and repeat while Winnipeg was attempting to get its revenge. After what happened last year, it felt like everything was set up. However, the Montreal Alouettes and their explosive offense did not have to do as much. The Alouettes caused nine turnovers and returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the 38-17 win.
So, Toronto and Chad Kelly came unglued in incredible fashion Toronto had a +27 turnover margin and turned the ball over nine times. Again, Kelly had four interceptions after only throwing 12 all season. Maybe it was the bye week. Whatever it was, the Montreal squad put up a dominating performance on both sides of the ball. The playoffs often are a new season but no one could have expected this.
Okay, CFL Grey Cup Bets believe that Montreal will come out with zero nerves. There is nothing left for them to lose and they have not succumbed to Winnipeg in playoffs past. Either way, it is going to be an interesting game to see if Winnipeg can avoid what Kelly and Toronto could not. A cover could be in the cards. The +1400 long shot can stay close.
Winnipeg is back in that familiar spot again. For the fourth straight campaign, the Blue Bombers are favored in the CFL Grey Cup Bets. Winnipeg disposed of Saskatchewan a few times, but British Columbia was the team the Blue Bombers defeated this time around by a score of 24-13. It was a defensive clinic for Winnipeg as they held a solid Lions’ offense to a touchdown and a couple of field goals.
One of the best things about Winnipeg is their versatility. If Zach Collaros and the passing attack is a bit off, the rushing attack can take over. That happened last weekend as Brady Oliveira ran for 109 yards and a touchdown. He added a couple of receptions for 15 yards. The key was Winnipeg limited their miscues. Meanwhile, Vernon Adams Jr. threw three interceptions for the Lions as Winnipeg jumped out to an early lead and never turned back.
Yes, the Blue Bombers and Collaros are poised for that MOP and Grey Cup double. Again, it will be intriguing to see what happens. Check the weather forecast for Hamilton on Sunday evening. Winnipeg is a little more playoff dynamic than Montreal. That being said, things have come a long way from that 47-17 Blue Bombers thrashing of the Alouettes in Week 12.
The playoffs destined to feature Winnipeg prominently. Now, they are on the doorstep again. More importantly, Dalton Schoen, Oliveira, and Collaros are all healthy this time around. No excuses expect to derail the Blue Bombers this time around. Take the Winnipeg and -7 points to cover on Sunday night.
CFL Grey Cup Bets attempts to make heads or tails on that over. Right now, this number rolls in at 47.5 It is likable and awfully close to last year’s 45.5. By the way, the score in last year’s game was 24-23. Could we be on to something very similar once again? This is where eyeing up the weather conditions is so important. Both teams have an explosive passing game. Cody Fajardo played smarter against Toronto but can air the ball out.
Yes, Winnipeg knows what they must do. Control the line of scrimmage, run the ball, and set up the pass. It boils down to being that simple. Do not give the Alouettes chances like Winnipeg did with Toronto last year. Letting the Argonauts hang around turned out to be their downfall. Throw out excuses like the kicking game and the Collaros ankle injury. Last year’s Grey Cup came down to execution. Toronto made the plays. Winnipeg did not.
The only worry with Winnipeg is do they have flashbacks? If they play as expected, look out.
For CFL Grey Cup Bets, if Winnipeg contains Fajardo, it will be a very long night for Montreal. Montreal’s defense must step up once again versus an even more balanced foe. Take the Over at 47.5 and run!
What about another CFL Grey Cup Bets Pick? Does one try some props? The highest scoring half being the second half rolls in at +110. That is one option. Another may be trying the first score to come from Winnipeg via a touchdown at +220.
Again, check out the plethora of betting choices.
