Prop pick #1: Davis Alexander Over 318.5 Passing Yards

-120 at DraftKings

Unlike last year's Grey Cup, 2026 MOP Davis Alexander is fully healthy and ready for vengeance.

Alexander posted a league-best 122.7 QB rating this season and exploded for 5,257 passing yards.

Alexander threw for 403 yards in his final regular-season start and 373 in the Eastern Final against Winnipeg. He also passed for 356 and 352 yards in two meetings with the Edmonton Elks this season, despite the Elks' stellar pass defense

He also posted a ridiculous 35:4 TD/INT ratio, 72.1% completion rate, and averaged 10 yards per attempt.

Prop pick #2: Tyson Philpot Over 95.5 Receiving Yards

-125 at DraftKings

Tyson Philpot led the CFL in receptions (124) and receiving yards (1,809), racking up over 300 more than his teammate and next-closest player, Tyler Snead.

He also led the league in yards after catch (750), nearly 200 more than the next-closest. He notched 120 and 131 receiving yards in both games against the Elks.

The Canadian has recorded at least five receptions in all but one game this season and averaged 14.6 yards per reception, giving him a solid floor on Sunday.

Prop pick #3: Justin Rankin Over 44.5 Rushing Yards

-115 at DraftKings

Justin Rankin trailed only Brady Oliveira in rushing attempts (204) and rushing yards (1,170) this season.

Rankin rushed for 133 yards on 23 carries against Winnipeg in Week 20 but was limited to seven yards on four carries in the Western Final against BC. He cleared this line comfortably in both regular-season meetings with Montreal

He torched the Montreal Alouettes for a season-high 179 yards in Week 3.

Montreal allows 90.9 rushing yards per game and boasts the third-worst second-down conversion rate against (49.5%).
