All four CFL playoff games have gone down to the wire, and with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes so well-matched — it's as if each team was built to stop the other — the championship game has the ingredients to produce an all-time classic Grey Cup.

You can watch Grey Cup 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.

Montreal's key weapon is quarterback Davis Alexander's ability to take off with the ball and skate around opponents, but the Roughriders defense has excelled against the run all season, allowing only 76 rushing yards per game. On the flipside, Saskatchewan pivot Trevor Harris is one of the most accurate passers in the CFL, but the Alouettes have surrendered just 256.9 yards per game through the air, making theirs the best passing defense in the league.

The Als, however, have more strings to their bow. Tyson Philpot went off against the Riders in Week 15, racking up two touchdowns, 238 yards and all nine passes that came his way. He also caught the game-clinching pass that took the Grey Cup to Montreal two years ago. Tyler Snead and Austin Mack are game-winners too, and Jose Maltos-Diaz is the best kicker in the league.

If anyone can stand up to the Alouettes' fearsome Darnell Sankey—Tyrice Beverette double-act, it's the All-CFL trio of Logan Ferland, Jacob Brammer and Jermarcus Hardrick. There's also the temperament question. Harris may be 39 and a two-time Grey Cup winner, but he was a backup on both occasions and might never get another chance to win it off his own back. Alexander's obnoxious conduct has made his as many fans as enemies, and that could backfire if his hamstring issue slows him down.
