The 2017 Canadian Football League (CFL) season kicks off on Thursday, June 22nd with two of the longer shots to take this year’s Grey Cup. The Saskatchewan Roughridgers visit the Montreal Alouettes to start Week 1. Lines for the first week are not out yet as teams are playing their preseason slate, but Bovada Sportsbook has posted odds for the 105th Grey Cup winner.
Last season, the Ottawa Redblacks defeated the Calgary Stampeders 39-33 in the Grey Cup and oddsmakers aren’t optimistic about the Redblacks chances of repeating as the defending champs are listed with the fourth-best odds (+800) of winning it all this season along with Hamilton. The odds listed below are as of June 15th, 2017 from Bovada Sportsbook.
| TEAM | ODDS |

| Calgary Stampeders | +350 |
| British Columbia Lions | +500 |
