Grey Cup CFL Championship A Game to Wager On

The Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Montreal Alouettes will give us a great game to watch and wager on this Sunday November 29, 2009 in the open to the elements McMahon Stadium in Calgary Alberta Canada. According to the weather forecast it will be a sunny day with relatively warm temperatures of 10 c, good for Canada in November.

Roughriders' head coach Ken Miller who at sixty eight years old speaks from the heart, said, "This is really a dream come true," adding, "Being a head coach in a Grey Cup game . . . I can't think of anything better, or anything higher, or anything else I'd rather be doing right now." Quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders Darian Durant, who once played at the University of North Carolina in the USA said, "I've definitely played in front of more people, played against some first-round picks or whatever, but this is for all the marbles,"

Statistics say the Montreal Quebec Alouettes are a superior football team. They are favoured in the odds by books online. One really outstanding asset for the team is quarterback Anthony Calvillo, who's record for the year has been outstanding with 396 completions in 550 attempts, 4,639 yards, 26 touchdowns, six interceptions. Marc Trestman the Alouettes' head coach says that Calvillo's work ethic has paid off as the quarterback seems to get better with age.

With respect to his opponents in the big game Saskatchewan's defensive end Stevie Baggs, said, "Those guys deserve to be favourites, just because of their record alone,"

The Roughriders are known for their back to the wall performances and will be sure to fill the bill as a team that gets going when things get tough. In this case the underdog may have a vicious bite and could very well pull the rabbit out of the hat this time.

There seems to be a weak link in the Alouettes' armour and they may not be as strong on the field as their glorious history suggests. They are just 1-5 in the championship game and have lost in their last four attempts for the cup. McMahon Stadium's capacity of 46 thousand people is sure to be filled and those with an eye on wagering on this game are going with either their heads on the Alouettes or their hearts on the Roughriders.
