Fresh off a record-breaking regular season that saw them finish with the CFL's best record, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have been installed as Grey Cup favourites by oddsmaker Bodog.

The Ticats are +160 to win their first championship since 1999, meaning bettors would win $160 if they bet $100.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders, the West Division champions, are next at +225 followed by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at +275 and the Edmonton Eskimos at +325.

Hamilton, who host the East Division final this Sunday at 1 p.m. at Tim Hortons Field, are four-point favourites over the Eskimos according to Ontario sports gambling site Pro-Line while the Riders, who host the West Final, are four-point favourites over the Bombers.

Home-field advantage is usually worth three points so the lines indicate odds-makers are expecting both contests to be close.

The Ticats started the season as 7-to-1 favourites to win the championship, behind Calgary, B.C. and Winnipeg.

The winner of this weekend's games will play in the Grey Cup on Nov. 24 in Calgary.
