Hamilton Tiger-Cats receiver Kenny Lawler went one step further, predicting the Black and Gold to not only go all the way but also earn the rights to host a parade in Hamilton.
“Is there any other take? Hamilton to the Grey Cup, and winning,” said Lawler.
Ticats linebacker Wynton McManis is known for stopping opposing teams from scoring points, but his aspirations for 2026 have him actually adding points to the board himself on an unprecedented pace for any defensive player.
“I will say that I’ll score a touchdown in every game,” said Wynton McManis.
Montreal Alouettes receiver Tyson Philpot chose to focus his prediction on his team’s first battle of the season.
“Ticats home opener, Alouettes win,” said Philpot.
Running back Brady Oliveira has seen his team accomplish his exact prediction multiple times in the past, so it’s up to you how bold it really is.
“It’s not really even a bold take,” said Oliveira. “I say that Winnipeg finishes the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the West Division.”
A.J. Allen wants to leave no room for doubt. He’s predicting his new team to do what his old team did in 2025.
“Ottawa REDBLACKS, Grey Cup champions,” said Allen.
