It’s been two years since we’ve seen CFL action, so it’s pretty clear that the in the league are itching to get themselves back onto the field in the hopes of taking home the Grey Cup. For the first time in over 100 years, the Cup wasn’t awarded during the 2020 season due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, a lot of these teams look completely different heading into this upcoming season. Here we go over a few of the favorites to win the championship along with some longshots that could shock the world.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers +375
Saskatchewan Roughriders +550
Calgary Stampeders +550
Toronto Argonauts +850
Edmonton Elks +900
Montreal Alouettes +1000
BC Lions +1000
Ottawa REDBLACKS +1800

Favorites

The Hamilton Tiger Cats jump out with the best odds to win the Grey Cup in 2021. This team was absolutely dominant defensively back in 2019, but since then they have lost a number of strong players on that end of the football. However, this is a group with tremendous upside and potential unlike any other unit in the league. There may be a lot of questions over them heading into this 2021 season, but if they are able to shake off the rust and play to their potential, they are one of the best teams in the CFL.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are right behind them on this list. The last time they were out on the field ended up being fantastic for them, as they raised the Grey Cup over their heads. That was a long time ago though, and the team has since made some adjustments. Probably the biggest factor heading into this 2021 season will be their special teams though, as their special team coordinator Paul Boudreau always seems to put together amazing units. Their offense may have some question marks throughout the season given their small quarterback situation, but their special teams and defense can give them the edge in any given game.

Longshots

Heading into some of the longshots, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are definitely the top of the group. They finished 13-5 back in 2019 and had a fantastic offensive game, centered around their young quarterback Cody Fajardo. Fajardo was able to give opposing defenses headaches with his ability to both run and pass the football at a high level. The unit did lose a few guys up on that offensive line since they last played, but with a new offensive coordinator in the mix with Jason Maas taking over, the Roughriders can continue to be great. They have a tough journey ahead, though Fajardo and company should be up for the task.

The Toronto Argonauts are the last longshot that could come up big during 2021. They were struggling back in 2019 when they last played but have since completely flipped their team around. They are most likely the biggest wildcard heading into this upcoming season, with a brand-new coach, general manager, quarterback and a few other additions across their team. The Argonauts now have a flurry of players to choose from heading into this season, a joyful sight after a rough 4-14 year in 2019 when they had trouble distinguishing talent. They don’t have the best odds on the board to win it all this year, but they are very unpredictable right now and could end up shocking some people.
