TORONTO \u2014 As the CFL calendar turns and optimism begins to bloom across the league, it\u2019s time once again for The Weekly Say, where our writers put their chips on the table and share the takes they\u2019ll be standing by when the season unfolds.<\/p>\n
From bold predictions to carefully reasoned picks, this week\u2019s topic asks a simple question with a not-so-simple answer: who\u2019s winning the 113th Grey Cup when it\u2019s all said and done?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no shortage of compelling cases. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have drawn plenty of attention after an interesting Free Agency period, while the BC Lions continue to build around one of the league\u2019s most electrifying quarterbacks. Elsewhere, belief in star power, roster tweaks and even a little bit of fate all factor into the conversation, with the Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers also entering the mix.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how our writers see it, from confident calls of redemption to predictions of continued ascension.<\/p>\n
RELATED \u00a0<\/p>\n Kristina Costabile: \u00a0Hamilton Tiger-Cats. I picked the Saskatchewan Roughriders last year around this time to win the 112th Grey Cup and I was right. Hamilton\u2019s receiver group got better during free agency and the addition of Wynton McManis<\/a> is huge. I feel like I\u2019m going two for two.<\/p>\n Jos\u00e9 Ferraz: BC Lions. Buck Pierce\u2019s squad gets it done with an improved defence and Nathan Rourke<\/a> taking yet another step forward as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks of his generation.<\/p>\n Vicki Hall: I\u2019ll say Hamilton because of Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a> and the moves in free agency to tweak and bolster the roster around him. No more almosts. This is the year it finally happens for Steeltown.<\/p>\n Matthew Cauz: I\u2019m going with Davis Alexander<\/a>\u2018s hamstring getting it done for Montreal.<\/p>\n
