The Canadian Football League (CFL) pre-season has kicked off, and future betters are already trying to predict where teams will finish and who will make it to Vancouver for the Grey Cup. The 2024 season seems to have generated more questions than ever, and we will see some answers over the next twenty weeks.
What will the Argos do at quarterback while Chad Kelly serves out his league-mandated suspension?
Can Trevor Harris lead the Riders to a resurgence?
Will Bethel-Thompson play a spoiler for Ford and the Elks?

Sneaky Future
Montreal Alouettes over 10.5 wins.
Montreal might be the biggest winner in Chad Kelly's suspension. Expect the Als to feast on a weak East and enjoy early-season success while securing a few more wins.
Toronto Argos over 8.5 wins
Even while missing their QB for the first half of the season, the Argos have a roster built to succeed. Expect the Argos to start around .500 and secure the bet in the latter half of the year, no matter who they have starting the season under centre.
Edmonton Elks over 6.5 wins
The Elks finally won at home last season, and they posed to make some waves in the West in 2024. With Ford and Bethel-Thompson on the roster, the Elks might be the deepest at the most important position on the field.
Saskatchewan Roughriders under 7.5 wins
The Riders are the biggest question mark in the CFL this year. With Harris trying to regain his form, big question marks on both sides of the ball, and a lot of pressure, they might be primed for a historically bad season.

Sneaky Future
BC Lions +450
Something is to be said about the ability to win it all at home. +450 is excellent value for the Leo’s to repeat 1994 and lift the Grey Cup in BC Place.
