The Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat the Toronto Argonauts to earn a date with the Montreal Alouettes in the East, while the Western Finals sees the BC Lions face the Edmonton Elks. The Lions knocked off the reigning champions Saskatchewan Roughriders in the semifinal round.

Here are his best bets for the finals games on Saturday.CFL finals picksMontreal -8.5 vs. WinnipegBC -1.5 vs. EdmontonMontreal -8.5 vs. WinnipegMontreal has looked like the best team in the CFL throughout the season and managed the latter part of the regular season extremely well. Balance is the key in the postseason, and I believe the Alouettes have enough offensive balance to withstand one of their offensive elements being taken away. If Montreal stops Winnipeg's ground game, I don't feel the Bombers have the passing game necessary to keep up.

The only problem is they expended so much energy in that opening game, which sort of plays in favor of the well-rested Elks. They've played tight games in this season's series, so expect this one to be lower scoring and come down to the wire. I strongly feel the magical season for Edmonton continues for another week.
