Grey Cup Preview

Following a long and grueling 18-game regular season schedule plus two rounds of playoffs, the stage has been set for this Sunday’s CFL Grey Cup title showdown between the East’s Ottawa RedBlacks and the West’s Calgary Stampeders in a 6 p.m. (ET) kickoff at BMO Field in Toronto.
This past Sunday, Ottawa outlasted Edmonton in the snow with a 35-23 victory as a 2½-point home underdog, while Calgary stayed on track to win this season’s Grey Cup with a crushing 42-15 win at home against British Columbia as a 7 ½-point favorite.
Ottawa (9-9-1 SU, 8-11 ATS) vs. Calgary (15-2-1 SU, 13-5 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -9
Total: 54.5
Game Overview
Ottawa may have backed into its second-straight East Division title with just two straight-up wins in its last six regular season contests, but it came up with a victory when it needed to the most to make its second-straight trip the Grey Cup Championship. The RedBlacks went 4-3 against the spread this season when closing as underdogs and the total has now gone OVER in six of their last seven games after going OVER the closing 53-point line in last week’s win against Edmonton.
If Ottawa is going to have any chance to win the CFL title this time around following a tough six-point loss to Edmonton last season as a seven-point underdog, it is going to need another strong effort from an offense that rolled up 425 yards of total offense in last week’s win. Henry Burris got the start at quarterback and while he ended the day with 246 yards passing, he only managed to complete 57.7 percent of his 26 attempts. The big story was Kienan LaFrance’s 157 yards rushing on 25 carries.
Going all the way back to a rare 26-26 tie against Ottawa in Week 3 of the regular season, the Stampeders’ only loss since then was in a meaningless game against Montreal in Week 19. At one point their SU winning streak reached 14 games and over the final 12 games of that impressive run they went a highly profitable 10-2 ATS. Calgary left little doubt as to just how good this team really is by completely dismantling BC in the West Division Finals.
In that lopsided victory against the Lions, Calgary was able to put things away early with a 32-0 lead at the half. Bo Levi Mitchell ended the day with 365 yards passing and three touchdown strikes while completing 75 percent of his 28 attempts. Jerome Messam added 84 yards rushing on 14 carries as part of a ground game that gained 166 total yards. These two players have been getting it done all season long on an offense that averaged a CFL-high 32.6 points a game. Defensively, the Stampeders also led the league in average points allowed (20.5).
Betting Trends
The RedBlacks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a SU winning record and they have failed to cover in their last seven games following a SU win. The total has gone OVER in four of their last five games against a team with a SU winning record.
The Stampeders are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a SU win and they have covered in 19 of their last 26 games overall. The total has gone OVER in seven of their last 10 postseason games.
Head-to-head in this matchup, Calgary has a 4-1-1 edge SU while going 5-1 ATS. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in the last four meetings. Following that Week 3 tie, the Stampeders went on to beat Ottawa 48-23 on Sept. 17 as eight-point favorites at home. The total easily went OVER the closing 54-point line in that game.
Grey Cup
Calgary (16-2-1) vs Ottawa (9-9-1) — RedBlacks are in only third year of existence, but are playing in Grey Cup for second year in row- they lost 26-20 to Edmonton LY.

Calgary is 15-1 since that tie game in July, with lone loss in regular season finale, a meaningless game.

Ottawa RedBlacks vs Calgary Stampeders
The 104th Grey Cup is this Sunday (6 PM ET, ESPN2), live from BMO Field in Toronto, and on paper, it looks like a mismatch between the Calgary Stampeders and the Ottawa RedBlacks. The Stampeders opened as 9-point favorites with a total of 54.5 before moving to –9.5.
Calgary (16-2-1 SU, 14-5 ATS) deserve to be the favorites after rolling over the rest of the CFL. The RedBlacks (9-9-1 SU, 8-11 ATS) aren't as strong as last year's Grey Cup finalists, and they're only 1-5 SU and ATS versus the Stamps since bringing football back to Ottawa in 2014. The over went 4-1-1 during those six games.
As well as the Stampeders have played this year, the RedBlacks remain a viable threat. They beat the spread in last year's 26-20 loss to Edmonton, cashing in as 7-point underdogs. Also, Calgary failed to cover two years ago in their Grey Cup win over Hamilton (+7.5), winning a close one 20-16. Both those games went under. Sunday's weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies over Toronto and temperatures in the low 40s – or around five degrees Celsius.
