The 2024 CFL Grey Cup odds are favoring the league-leading Montreal Alouettes (+155) to defend their title at BC Place in November. With just one loss over halfway through the season, including four-straight wins without starting quarterback Cody Fajardo, the Als are back to being healthy and got more lethal signing WR Austin Mack after his stint in the NFL.

2024 Grey Cup Champions Picks & Best Bets
The CFL season is past the halfway mark (where did the time go?), let's examine the top of the current oddsboard.
montreal alouettes, Looking for back-to-back grey cups
The Alouettes are looking to prove their shocking Grey Cup championship wasn't just a fluke.
Even with Fajardo missing for four weeks, the Als still hold a commanding 10-1 SU record to top the league with third-stringer Davis Alexander holding down the fort in Fajardo's brief absence.
All confidence rests in the defense, allowing the second-fewest points per game (21.1 PPG) and third-fewest yards per game (339.6 YPG), is what's turning the Alouettes into a league-wide threat anyway.
Montreal fixes any problem it runs into. When Fajardo went down, Davis Alexander shined with a 71.6 completion percentage and nearly 1,000 yards. Then, when Tyson Philpots career-season was disrupted by injury, the Alouettes signed last season's top receiver, Austin Mack, back from the NFL. There's really no problem too big to solve. Overcoming adversity is something the Als are clearly capable of.
Barring any more serious injuries and staying afloat until Fajardo returns, this group could easily find its way back to the championship stage.
BC Lions, opportunity to hoist grey cup at BC Place
With Vernon Adams Jr. listed as week-to-week, the Lions (5-4 SU) have hit a bump in the road. A glimmer of hope shined with Nathan Rourke returning from the NFL. But, his first outing saw a disappointing 32% passing completion and two interceptions. Without a healthy quarterback, BC is lost.
Typically, BC's offense can storm down the field when it wants to, once ranking second with 368.5 YPG and first with 6.67 yards per play. Now, sitting somewhere in the middle in those respective stats. Justin McInnis (954 YDS, 6 TDS) and Alexander Hollins (792 YDS, 4 TDS) sit as two of the top three receivers in the CFL.
Before his injury, Adams Jr., the Most Outstanding Player favorite, eclipsed the 2,400 passing yards mark already with 15 passes soaring 30-plus yards.

But, it's not a season-ending injury. Sitting tied for second in the West despite five-straight losses, the Lions have set themselves up in a good position to wait for Adams Jr.'s return or for Rourke to get back in the swing of things.
The perfect storyline is still very plausible. Yup, the Lions have the opportunity to win the Grey Cup at home. Perhaps hosting the championship will give them some extra momentum this year.
where is the grey cup being hosted?
This season’s Grey Cup, which is Canadian football’s Super Bowl, will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia at BC Place, the home of the BC Lions. The 111th title will be given out on Sunday, November 14th, 2024.
