Grey Cup Odds: Lions Favored To Win Championship At Home

The 2024 CFL Grey Cup odds are favoring the BC Lions, despite a pair of losses and recently having their five-game win streak snapped in Week 7. With the Grey Cup championship being hosted at BC Place in November, Vernon Adams Jr. and his team could become the first since 2013 to win the title at home.

2024 Grey Cup Champions Picks & Best Bets

Nearly two weeks into the CFL season, let's examine the top of the current oddsboard.

BC Lions, opportunity to hoist grey cup at BC Place

Working their way up the board, the Lions have regrouped to snag five wins in their last six outings after dropping their season opener. 

BC's offense can storm down the field, ranking first with 406.6 YPG and second with 7.2 yards per play. Greatness is possible with Vernon Adams Jr. behind the snap, nearly eclipsing the 2,400 passing yards mark already with 15 passes soaring 30-plus yards. Dare I say the Most Outstanding Player award already has his name engraved?

The black-and-orange are finally making proper use of offseason pick-up, RB William Stanback. The ex-Alouette is in the CFL's top five with 389 yards on the ground across 88 carries. 

The perfect storyline is 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.

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. Despite starting the season 5-0 for the first time since 2006, the Als first loss in Week 6 kicked them down the oddsboard from a +190 betting favorite to +250. 

Prior to Week 6, Montreal was riding a thrilling 13-game streak and had let just one opponent hang more than 24 points on them since Week 14 of last season. 

Well, that all came crashing down after a 37-18 pummelling at the hands of the Argos. I have a feeling things would've been different had Cody Fajardo not been sidelined at the end of the first quarter with a hamstring injury. He has now expected to be out for six weeks. 

But that defense, allowing a league-low 22.7 PPG and fewest 316 YPG, is what's turning the Alouettes into a league-wide threat anyways. The brute effort has given up just four passing touchdowns all season.

Barring any more serious injuries and staying afloat until Fajardo returns, this group could easily find its way back to the championship stage. 

My value pick: Edmonton Elks (+8000)

 

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.

2020 season was cancelled due to Covid-19.

With another championship in 2022, the Argos now have 18 Grey Cups in their trophy case, the most by any team in the league. The Edmonton Elks, despite winning just once in the last decade, have the second-most with 14. The Bombers, whose recent back-to-back wins boosted their total championships to 12, have appeared in 27 Grey Cups – the most of any team.
