Football: Winnipeg and Toronto play for the Grey Cup

A lot of signs point to the Blue Bombers winning their third CFL championship since 2019 on Sunday in Vancouver. They have the experience (this is Winnipeg's fifth consecutive Grey Cup appearance), they have the best player in the league (hometown running back Brady Oliveira won the Most Outstanding Player award last night) and they have the top-rated defence. They're also favoured by nine points, implying about an 80 per cent chance of winning.

But the Bombers have been burned before. Toronto and Montreal upset them in the last two Grey Cups, and another defeat on Sunday would make Winnipeg the first team in 68 years to lose three in a row.

The Argos have a real shot here if their league-best pass rush can disrupt Winnipeg's two-time MOP quarterback Zach Collaros. But Toronto's hopes of pulling off another stunner might rest on an unproven backup QB.

Nick Arbuckle did his job last week after starter Chad Kelly went down with a broken ankle late in the East final, helping the Argos seal their upset of Grey Cup champion Montreal. But can he step up against the CFL's best defence on the brightest stage in Canadian football? We'll find out Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.
