The 2020 Grey Cup futures odds are one of the last refuges for sports bettors with the coronavirus pandemic sweeping across the globe and forcing the cancellation or postponement of nearly all major sporting events. Below, we turn our attention north of the border to the Canadian Football League, and look at the CFL odds and best bets to win the 2020 Grey Cup Nov. 22, in Regina, Saskatchewan.
2020 Grey Cup Betting Odds
- On the other hand, CFLpass loves the betting action and continues to speculate week to week. For the 2018, season we ended up at just over even money for the regular season and cashed in nicely in the playoffs and Grey Cup when the Calgary Stampeders finally avoided the upset. Our 2017 was well better, with a 56% win rate and a lot of money on the under for the Toronto Argonauts' stunning.
- The Calgary Stampeders confirmed their spot at the top of the CFL standings with an easy win over the B.C. Lions in the final week, finalizing the schedule for the 2018 CFL Grey Cup playoffs. Heavily favored for the third season in a row, the Stampeders want to avoid losing their third consecutive finals.

2020 Grey Cup Betting Picks
Blue Bombers (+550)
The reigning champs will enter the 2020 season with just the third-best odds to win the 108th Grey Cup following their miracle 2019 season. QB Zach Collaros will remain as the starter under center, with Matt Nichols joining the Argonauts and Chris Streveler moving on to the NFL.
RB Andrew Harris, the CFL's rushing leader in 2019, returns to lead the backfield once again.
New to sports betting? A $10 futures bet on the Blue Bombers to win the 2020 Grey Cup will return a profit of $55.
Eskimos (+600)
The Eskimos snuck into the playoffs in 2019 and made it to the East Final as the crossover team before losing to the Tiger-Cats. QB Trevor Harris ranked second in the CFL with 4,027 passing yards while throwing 16 touchdowns against six interceptions. He has plenty of Grey Cup experience with the Redblacks.
RB CJ Gable remains a free agent, but Shaquille Cooper and Alex Taylor will be able to fill the void. Harris ran for a team-high six touchdowns in 2019. The defense shared the league lead with 56 sacks last season, and they allowed a league-low 222.9 yards per game.
Redblacks (+1300)
Ottawa was the laughing stock of the CFL last season, going just 1-8 on home field, 2-7 on the road and 1-7 against the East Division. They scored a league-low 312 points and allowed a league-high 564 points in 18 games. The QB position was addressed this offseason with the addition of Nick Arbuckle. Dominique Davis Understanding the over under betting. will revert to a backup role.
The Ti-Cats remain the juggernauts in the East Division, but the door is fairly open behind them. The Argos added former Bombers QB Matt Nichols, but they remain thin at both running back and receiver. The Alouettes lost RB William Stanback to the NFL and will struggle to replace his contributions.
The value here can't be ignored in a nine-team league where anything can happen.

The Calgary Stampeders are the early favorites to win the Canadian Football League championship for the second straight season, when the 2019 season kicks-off on June 13
Source: bangthebook.comTo give an idea of typical betting markets on offer, one top-5 betting website in mid-March listed bets in American football; Australian Rules football; badminton; baseball; basketball; billiards/snooker; boxing/MMA; cricket; curling; cycling; darts; e-sports; floorball; futsal; Gaelic sports; golf; greyhound racing (where is this even legal anymore?); handball; hockey, including NHL, NCAA and 33 other leagues in 15 countries; horse racing; motor sports, including Formula 1, Nascar, Motorbikes, Supercars and others); rowing; rugby including Rugby League, Union and World Cup; skiing and ski jumping; soccer; squash; surfing; tennis; volleyball; water polo; and wrestling (that's *NCAA* wrestling, not professional, you jokers).
Now *that's* a lot of sports betting – but let's stay focused on CFL betting. Some online sportsbooks will list 'CFL' or 'Canadian football' as distinct entries in the table of contents. Otherwise, you'll have to look under 'American football' or 'football.' (Sheesh, it's almost as though people have forgotten that modern gridiron football was first played in Canada…)
Point and click on the appropriate tab for CFL betting, as described directly above, and this should open a webpage displaying those bets, lines, odds and futures for CFL football. Naturally the available futures and proposition bets will depend on the point of the season in which you're seeking to bet, though props like 'To win the Grey Cup' and 'To win the Conference' should be bettable throughout the season.
In terms of more traditional, week-to-week betting, those looking to bet on CFL games during the regular season should see a list of the current week's games, along with the offerings that are of course the overwhelming favourite of customers, namely the point spread, money lines and over/under.
Cfl Playoffs 2020
A brief rejoinder for those not 100% up on the terminology defined each major type of bet on football:
- Money line bets require the bettor to pick one team to win the game. The favourite in a given game will likely get odds of shorter than 1/1, while the potential payout on the underdog is higher.
- A pointspread bet is expressed in points, with a negative number assigned to the favourite and a positive number to the underdog. If the Riders are favoured at home against the Esks, the line might read something like 'Saskatchewan Roughriders -4½ vs Edmonton Eskimos.' If you bet on Edmonton, you can add 4½points for the Eskimos' total in the game and subtract likewise for Saskatchewan on a loss.
- An over/under bet is a bet on the total number of points to be scored in the game by both teams combined, express as over or under a given amount.
- Proposition bets are defined as bets which pay on some outcome which is not the final result of a given game/match.
Placing a bet on one of these offerings is a simple matter of, again, pointing and clicking. This will put the prospective bet on a virtual betting slip displayed somewhere on the screen – but don't worry, you haven't spent money yet.
Some online sportsbooks will allow the bettor to accumulate several bets on a single betting slip, while others will require you to pay up, put the slip in the shopping cart (or equivalent) or clear it altogether. In either case, the bettor is allowed to add more bets onto the slip for purposes of parlays and teasers.
Odds On Cfl Playoffs 2020
Note, too, that most sites may offer quite a few more proposition bets on CFL games – especially during the playoffs. So-called player props like 'Bo Levi Mitchell to throw over 325 yards' are not nearly as commonly seen as in NFL betting, but some point-scoring props are available before the postseason as well.
