3 Downs, 3 Picks is a weekly series breaking down the CFL season.

It's time!!

This Sunday, Nov. 17 is the 111th Grey Cup, being held at Vancouver's BC Place. But before we preview the game, let's see how we got here:

  • The underdog Toronto Argonauts beat the Montreal Alouettes in a barn-burner, 30-28. After a seemingly comfy 27-16 lead for the Argos heading into the fourth quarter, the Als comeback attempt came up just short after two missed two-point converts. The biggest news of the game was the injury to Argos quarterback Chad Kelly, who fractured his tibia and fibula in a gruesome injury in the third quarter. All hopes will now rest on backup QB Nick Arbuckle.
  • In the western finals, the Winnipeg Bluebombers, as they have done most of the season, dominated the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a 38-22 win. Zach Collaros threw four touchdowns and 301 yards in the victory. Receiver Kenny Lawler caught three of those touchdowns for a monstrous 177 yards on just four receptions. With the win, the Bombers have advanced to their fifth straight Grey Cup!

Here is our preview and thoughts on the CFL division finals:
