CFL Simulation: Lions, Elks turn into favourites
TORONTO — The sport that the CFL Simulation pegged final week because the most definitely matchup for the 111th Gray Cup had a big effect on this week’s simulation outcomes.
The BC Lions’ 37-23 takedown of the Montreal Alouettes was spectacular on numerous fronts. They handed the Als their second lack of the season and snapped their five-game win streak. The Lions made the longest journey within the league, flying from Vancouver out to Montreal and managed to beat the Als as they got here out of a bye week. A win over a now 10-2 workforce on the street carries a number of weight for the Simulation. The Lions reap the advantages of that win right here this week. They’re now the league leaders in odds to win the 111th Gray Cup, sitting at 48.98 per cent.
Additionally feeling the love this week are the Edmonton Elks. Winners of 5 of their final six and plugging away at making that 0-7 begin a distant reminiscence, the Elks moved into fourth place within the West with their 37-16 win over the Calgary Stampeders. As they’ve stacked wins and tapped into the facility of their offence — whereas their defence got here up with an unimaginable five-interception displaying this previous Saturday night time — the Elks’ postseason hopes have soared; at the least within the digital thoughts of the Simulation. The Elks have the second-highest likelihood of successful the Gray Cup, with a 13.29 per cent probability, only a hair forward of the Alouettes (13.23).
