As the race for the 2026 Grey Cup heats up, only four teams remain in contention: the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Montreal Alouettes, BC Lions, and Edmonton Elks. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers secured their spot by defeating the Toronto Argonauts, while the BC Lions triumphed over the reigning champions, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, to face Edmonton.

Both finals are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7. SportsLine expert Emory Hunt, who has an impressive track record with a 132-111-2 record on NFL bets over the past three seasons and is 44-38 on CFL spread picks this season, has shared his insights and best bets for these pivotal matchups.

CFL Finals Picks

• Montreal -8.5 vs. Winnipeg
• BC -1.5 vs. Edmonton

Montreal has consistently demonstrated its strength throughout the season, showcasing impressive balance that should serve them well in the playoffs. Hunt believes that if Montreal can neutralize Winnipeg's ground game, the Bombers will struggle to keep pace through the air.

In the other matchup, while the BC Lions have shown remarkable resilience, their recent victory came at a cost, potentially favoring the well-rested Edmonton Elks. Given their closely contested series this season, Hunt anticipates a lower-scoring affair that could go down to the wire, suggesting that Edmonton might continue their surprising run.

With the stakes high and expert analysis in play, these finals promise to deliver thrilling action.
