Early Canadian Football Grey Cup Odds: Favorites to Win in the Upcoming 2023 Season

Now that the XFL is about to wind its 2023 season down and the USFL is approaching its postseason, where will you get your football fix until the NFL gets underway in September? Look north of the border to the Canadian Football League, where teams only get three downs to advance 10 yards, the end zones are 30 yards deep to encourage passing, and players can start a play in motion toward the line of scrimmage. The regular season starts on June 8, and the Grey Cup (the league championship game) is set for October 28 in Hamilton. We have each team’s Grey Cup betting odds to win the title and some thoughts about the top teams.

 

CFL Betting News: Odds to Win the 2023 Grey Cup

 

Winnipeg

went 15-3 in 2022 and made it to the Grey Cup, where the lost to Toronto. Kenny Lawler is back with the Blue Bombers and has a stellar wide receiving group that also has Drew Wolitarsky, Rasheed Bailey, Nic Demski, and Dalton Schoen. Free agency was very quiet for this team that looks locked and loaded for another title run.

British Columbia

was once a laughingstock in the CFL but posted a 12-6 record and advanced to the Western Final. Nathan Rourke left western Canada for the NFL, but BC added Dane Evans and Vernon Adams Jr and didn’t have any other major roster losses.

Calgary

also posted a 12-6 record but fell to BC in the West Semi-Final. Jake Maier will be the starter from Week 1 this time around, and the team’s roster is largely the same coming back into 2023. The hope is that Maier will bring stability all year long and help the Stampeders make a deeper run.

Toronto

only went 11-7 during the regular season but had a terrific postseason run and emerged as Grey Cup champions. Ole Miss product Chad Kelly returns, this time as the full-time starter at quarterback. The defense might be even better this time around, and the offense has plenty of speed.

Hamilton

will see Bo Levi Mitchell start the year at quarterback as the roster has underground significant change. Hamilton will host the Grey Cup this year and looks to get back there after playing in the 2021 Grey Cup, falling just short against Winnipeg. That will take major improvement after an 8-10 campaign in 2022.

Ottawa

will see Jeremiah Masoli return at quarterback after a long injury rehab. The Redblacks have not been in the playoffs since 2019, and the roster looks solid on paper. They didn’t have a consistent quarterback, which explains their 4-14 record last year.

Saskatchewan

went just 6-12 last year, but they have improvements along the offensive line, a new offensive coordinator and a new quarterback. Could a revamped offense get the Roughriders back into the playoffs?

Edmonton

posted a 4-14 record but will have one voice at quarterback, as Taylor Cornelius will be the starter going into training camp. Chris Jones enters his second year as head coach, and that worked well for the Elks in 2015 and the Roughriders in 2017. Cornelius also has solid receiving talent around him.

Montreal

went all the way to the Eastern Final last year after posting just a 9-9 record in the regular season. Now they have new ownership, but the transition came during the opening of free agency, so the Alouettes were a bit behind the rest of the pack in signing players. Quarterback Cody Fajardo rejoins head coach Jason Maas, and the Alouettes have a good enough O-line to help Fajardo produce.
