CFL Betting: CFL Bets and Parlays for Grey Cup
We're set for the 112th Grey Cup on Sunday evening, and the Alouettes, going for their second title in three years, are slightly more than a field-goal underdog to the Roughriders at Princess Auto Stadium.
Read on for a look at which two Grey Cup bets catch my eye on FanDuel Sportsbook.
Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Montreal Alouettes (Sunday, Nov. 16, 6:00 p.m. ET)
The Alouettes clawed their way to a 10-8 regular-season mark, but after two impressive postseason victories over seasoned Blue Bombers and Tiger-Cats squad, they've emerged from the East to vie for their second Grey Cup in the last three seasons. The biggest question coming into Sunday is the health of emerging signal-caller Davis Alexander, who's dealing with a hamstring issue but is expected to play.
Alexander put some big performances on film this season but also missed significant time with injury. However, if his hammy holds up, he offers an excellent rushing dimension in addition to his exploits through the air. Alexander has a deep pass-catching corps to throw to as well, led by familiar targets Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead. Stevie Scott III has also offered a dependable presence in the ground attack, having recorded a pair of 100-yard efforts, including a 133-yard showing against the Blue Bombers in the Eastern Semifinal victory.
Scott also gashed the Riders for 125 yards during the regular season, and he should be key to providing balance to Montreal's offense. Additionally, Alexander and his receivers/slotbacks also have a favorable matchup through the air versus a Roughriders defense that does create turnovers but also gives up its fair share of big plays (285.6 passing yards per game, 30 completions of 30+ yards allowed).
Ultimately, this should be as close a game as expected given the savvy Trevor Harris' presence on the other side and his own talented collection of skill-position weapons that includes the highly versatile A.J. Ouellette in the backfield. As such there's a couple of same-game parlays under consideration that take advantage of FanDuel's Alt. Spread and Alt. Total features.
