The Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers meet in the 109th Grey Cup Sunday at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. ET. (TSN/RDS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s‘ lines around the Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Argonauts covered the spread as 4-point home favorites in a 34-27 East Division final win vs. the Montreal Alouettes last Sunday. QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw 2 TDs as the Over (48) hit for the 3rd time in Toronto’s last 4 games.
Bethel-Thompson was the backup in the Argonauts’ last Grey Cup appearance, a 27-24 win as 7-point underdogs vs. the Calgary Stampeders in 2017.
The defending 2-time Grey Cup champion Blue Bombers covered as 4-point home favorites in a 28-20 West Division final win vs. the BC Lions last Sunday. QB Zach Collaros exited with an ankle injury in the final 2 minutes, but said he’ll be ready to play Sunday.
Winnipeg covered as a 2.5-point favorite in its most recent Grey Cup win, a 33-25 victory at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2021.

Argonauts vs. Blue Bombers picks and predictions
Prediction
Argonauts 21, Blue Bombers 20
Moneyline
Sprinkle on ARGONAUTS (+180).
It is uncommon for teams to 3-peat in the CFL. The last team to win 3-plus consecutive Grey Cups was the Edmonton Eskimos from 1978-1982. Winnipeg trying to make history with a hobbled starting QB should create a perfect storm for Toronto to get the upset win. However, this will be my smallest bet of the game.
Against the spread
BET ARGONAUTS +5.5 (-105).
At first glance, Winnipeg winning its 3rd consecutive Grey Cup may seem like a foregone conclusion. However, Collaros’ ankle injury should limit the Blue Bombers’ offense and help keep this game low-scoring. The lower the score, the more valuable each point becomes on the Argonauts spread. I’ll take the points with Toronto for my best bet of the game.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 46.5 (-105).
Winnipeg has allowed the least yards per game this season at 342.9. Combine its elite defense with Collaros not being at 100% and both teams should have trouble scoring.
The Blue Bombers scored 33 points in the 108th Grey Cup, but that number is misleading. Winnipeg had just 10 points through 3 quarters before the Tiger-Cats’ 4th-quarter collapse. The Blue Bombers should struggle on offense Sunday as the back-to-back Most Outstanding Player Award winner deals with limited mobility.
