Key Matchups For 2021 CFL Grey Cup
Zach Collaros vs Hamilton’s QB Mess: Winnipeg QB Collaros is the Western rep for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player. With Hamilton trailing Toronto 12-0 in the East final, starting QB Jeremiah Masoli was benched by head coach Orlondo Steinauer in favor of backup Dane Evans. Who gets the start in the biggest game of the season?
Winnipeg Defense vs Hamilton Offense: The Bombers played an absolute stinker in the West Final against Saskatchewan. Winnipeg turned the ball over six times, five of them in the first half. But thanks to the CFL’s best defense, the Bombers only trailed the Roughriders by three at halftime. The offense got their act together in the second half and won the game.
Andrew Harris vs Hamilton Front Seven: Returning from a two-month knee injury absence, Winnipeg RB Andrew Harris rumbled for 123 yards and a TD on 23 carries in the 21-17 West Final win over Saskatchewan. In the 2019 Grey Cup game, Harris shredded the Tiger-Cats defense for 134 yards and a TD on 18 carries, an average of 7.4 yards per carrying. He was named MVP of the game.
Favorites to win the 2021 Grey Cup
The defending champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished the season at 11-3 for the best record in the CFL, but that didn’t mean they’d have a cakewalk en route to a repeat performance. The Bombers narrowly escaped a tight match against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday in the Western Division Final thanks to a Sean McGuire rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.
That gave Winnipeg the 21-17 lead and ultimately punched its return ticket to the Grey Cup in Hamilton. +The Blue Bombers are favored at -180.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t have nearly as impressive a regular season as their upcoming opponents, going 8-6 and finishing second in the East. After losing three consecutive games to the Toronto Argonauts, including a 31-12 dismantling on November 12, Hamilton exorcised some demons in the East Division Final by taking down the Boatmen 27-19 on Sunday.
The Ti-Cats are underdogs at +150. They will have home-field advantage at Tim Hortons Field, so perhaps that line shifts throughout the week.
What Are CFL Futures?
Which CFL team will win the Grey Cup? Oddsmakers set CFL futures every year, and update them throughout the regular season depending on a team’s performance. CFL futures bets are long-term wagers on what team you think will win the Grey Cup, skipping the weekly wagers on individual games and cutting right to the most important battle of the season. Futures bets can be profitable and it’s always fun to predict winners so early in the season.
While the most popular CFL futures wager is betting on which team will win the Grey Cup, you can also place futures wagers at some sportsbooks on individual awards, conference winners, and other long-term prop bets.
