TORONTO — Another week, another new Grey Cup favourite.
Post-OK Tire Labour Day Weekend, there has been a different Grey Cup favourite every week. That’s a great example of just how close this season is, with many teams having the formula to hoist the coveted trophy in November.

KPMG Playoff Probability, formerly know as the CFL Simulation, is here to tell us which team is the favourite to win the 112th Grey Cup and much more.
