Montreal Alouettes Form
Montreal have won 15 of their 19 games this season to secure their third Grey Cup appearance in the past four years.
The Alouettes came up short in last year’s championship game, losing 25-17 to Saskatchewan, but they showed no signs of a hangover during the 2026 regular season.
They won a league-high 14 games to finish top of the East, five games clear of Toronto, and led the league in scoring too as they piled up 624 points.
Montreal’s dominant regular season campaign earned them a playoff bye, but when they returned to action last weekend they picked up from where they left off.
The Alouettes booked their place in the CFL’s championship matchup with a 33-23 victory over Winnipeg.
Quarterback Davis Alexander went 23/35 for two touchdowns, with receivers Tyson Philpot and Charleston Rambo combining for 246 yards.
Edmonton Elks Form
Edmonton will end an 11-year absence from the Grey Cup when they step out onto the field on Sunday.
The Elks missed out on the postseason in 2025 as they went 7-11, but they turned things around this year with an impressive regular season campaign.
They won 13 of their 18 games – the second best record in the league – and that was enough to see them finish three games clear of the BC Lions in the West.
Edmonton also enjoyed a bye in the first round of the playoffs as a result, meaning only one game stood between them and an end to their championship game drought.
The Elks successfully negotiated that matchup, as they beat the BC Lions 28-16 last weekend.
Quarterback CJ Fajardo went 25/30 for 274 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for a team-leading 84 yards on 10 carries.
Verdict
Edmonton upset Montreal early in the season, but the Alouettes avenged that loss in emphatic fashion in August and the offense has been rolling ever since.
The Elks lack the offensive power to go score for score with the Als, so we are backing Montreal for their second Grey Cup win in four years.
