The road to the 113th Grey Cup in Calgary is complete.
18 weeks of regular season and two playoff rounds have set the stage for one epic finale in Alberta on Sunday.
It doesn’t get any better than this.
The Montreal Alouettes, which fell just short of the ultimate prize a year ago after their star quarterback suffered an injury, are back on the big stage and looking for redemption as the Grey Cup favourite.
The Edmonton Elks, which were completely overlooked as a +1900 longshot to win the Grey Cup at FanDuel entering Week 1, have earned the opportunity to lift the trophy with one final upset on Sunday.
The Alouettes are a 3.5-point favourite at FanDuel.
The total for Sunday’s finale is over/under 55.5 points.
TSN and FanDuel have you covered with complete coverage leading up to the 113th Grey Cup in Calgary.

In the meantime, I reached out to my friends Drew Morrison, Aaron Korolnek, and Ben Kramer to get their thoughts on a few markets that stood out to them.
Let’s dive into what they told me and set the stage for the 113th Grey Cup in this Morning Coffee column for Friday November 13th, 2026.
Could A Running Back Win Grey Cup MVP At 50-1 Odds?
Davis Alexander earned the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award after he finished second in passing yards (5257), touchdown passes (35) and led Montreal to the league’s best record at 14-4.
The Alouettes have gone wire-to-wire as the favourite to win the Grey Cup at FanDuel, so nobody should be surprised they are the favourite to win it on Sunday.
The underdogs have covered the spread in eight of the last 10 Grey Cups.
Still, Montreal is laying more than a field goal as a 3.5-point favourite versus Edmonton.
Drew Morrison likes Alexander over 16.5 rushing yards.
Alexander averaged only 7.8 rushing yards per game during the regular season, but he ran for 25 on five attempts in a 33-23 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL Eastern Final.
With the Grey Cup on the line, Alexander won’t hesitate to use his legs again versus the Elks on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Stevie Scott III rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Bombers.
As impressive as Alexander and the Alouettes passing game was this season, the running back tandem of Travis Theis and Stevie Scott III was solid on the ground.
With Theis sidelined by a lower-body injury, Scott stepped up with 59 rushing yards and a touchdown versus Winnipeg, along with three catches for 25 yards.
Alexander is the Grey Cup MVP favourite at +105 and Tyson Philpot is the third choice at +700, but Aaron Korolnek thinks there’s value betting Scott to win Grey Cup MVP at +5000.
As for the Elks offence, Ben Kramer has his eye on Shunderrick Powell over 23.5 rushing yards over 23.5 rushing yards as a best bet for the Grey Cup.
Quarterback Cody Fajardo led Edmonton with 84 rushing yards and a touchdown in a win over the BC Lions in the CFL Western Final.
Powell led all Elks running backs with 31 rushing yards on eight carries.
Fellow running back Justin Rankin was held to seven rushing yards on four carries.
Ben’s projections have Powell at around 34.5 rushing yards with the potential for a bigger role again on Sunday.
Make sure you give Ben a follow @benyamen on X to check out all his projections for the Grey Cup.
Finally, I played Fajardo 30+ rushing yards as a FanDuel Best Bet for Grey Cup Sunday.
Fajardo led the Elks with 84 rushing yards and a score in the CFL Western Final and while that production will be difficult to replicate, 30 is a very reasonable number.
Fajardo has cleared 40 or more rushing yards in three straight games dating back to the regular season.
The veteran QB has registered 28 or more rushing yards in nine of his last 10 games overall.
I jumped on Fajardo 30+ rushing and would be willing to bet over 32.5 at -110 at FanDuel this morning.
The Elks have defied the odds all year to get to this stage.
Can they do it one more time with the Grey Cup on the line?
What’s your FanDuel Best Bet for the 113th Grey Cup?
Hit me up @Domenic_Padula on X and let me know your thoughts ahead of the big game.
It doesn’t get much better than this.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
