A bit surprised to see the Riders 3.5 point favorites heading into the Grey Cup and wonder if it's not sentiment driving the odds. Either way I jumped on Montreal paying 2.3 to win and will hope that pays off.

I think the Riders are the better team. But they are also theoretically the home team as the western representative. In the NFL being home team with all else being equal is usually good for a 3 point favourite. CFL likely similar. So the real odds are just SK by 0.5.

Hell, I didn't even know it was possible to score half a point in CFL.

I don't think we do that down hereabouts.

Being in Winnipeg the stands will be green. Its only a 5hr drive.
