Calgary Stampeders vs Toronto Argonauts Odds
Published on November 18th, 2012 11:51 pm ESTAn unlikely scenario has unfolded - the Calgary Stampeders will play against the Toronto Argonauts in this year's Grey Cup.
Both Calgary and Toronto were on the road this weekend. Both Calgary and Toronto were underdogs, but both teams managed to pull off the upsets.
Toronto, which will be hosting this year's Grey Cup, managed to defeat the Montreal Alouettes 27-20 to move on to the Grey Cup. Toronto was powered by all-world performances by Ricky Ray (399 yards passing), Chad Kackert (139 yards rushing on 13 carries) and Chad Owens (207 yards receiving).
Despite being 7 point underdogs against BC, Calgary was able to pull off a 34-29 victory over the defending Grey Cup champions. BC was doomed by their failure to capitalize in the red zone - the team, which looked like it was going to cruise to another Grey Cup appearance earlier in the year, will now be watching the 100th Grey Cup from their homes in Vancouver.
