Get expert picks from the hottest cappersWinnipeg was the most well-rounded team in the CFL this season despite not ending the season with the best overall record. Statistically the Blue Bombers were better than the rest. Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros was statistically the best as well. Montreal took advantage of mistakes made by Toronto to reach this Grey Cup and will not likely have the same advantage against a Winnipeg squad on Sunday. Winnipeg has plenty of experience in the Grey Cup having appeared in four straight and will use that and their advantage of having the best overall defense to lift the Cup on Sunday. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Blue Bombers win and cover ATS 31-20.
