The 112th Grey Cup between Saskatchewan and Montreal brings more than just championship football to Princess Auto Stadium on Sunday. It also delivers the annual tradition of novelty prop bets that make Canada’s biggest game even more entertaining.
While these props pale in comparison to the Super Bowl’s massive menu (thankfully, we won’t be betting on how many times Taylor Swift appears on screen stealing the spotlight from actual football), Canadian bettors still get some fun options to spice up their Grey Cup experience.
BET99 leads the way with three novelty markets, while FanDuel adds the Gatorade shower prop. These are exclusively available to Canadian bettors, giving you unique ways to engage with the championship game beyond traditional spreads and totals.
Let’s break down each prop with odds, analysis, and picks for Sunday’s showdown in Winnipeg.
National Anthem Length Odds
Odds as of Nov. 15 at Bet99 Sportsbook. Only available in Canada.

For those looking to get in on the action, BET99 offers new Canadian users (excluding Ontario) an $800 First Bet Encore with Bet99 promo code SBD. If your first bet loses, you’ll receive four bonus bets each worth 25% of your stake.
Keep It Simple, Country Style
Manitoba native Catie St. Germain takes center stage with O Canada before kickoff. The 2024 MCMA Indigenous Artist of the Year brings her country roots to the anthem, performing it bilingual and a cappella.
St. Germain told media this week she plans to keep it “pretty clear and simple” without going “too off the rails with runs.” That’s music to under bettors’ ears. Country artists typically deliver cleaner, straightforward renditions compared to R&B singers who love vocal embellishments.
The bilingual aspect actually helps the under. She needs to fit both English and French verses into a reasonable timeframe. Without instrumental backing to slow things down, expect St. Germain to move through at a steady pace.
For context, standard O Canada runs about 90 seconds. Super Bowl anthems average 115 seconds, but that’s for the longer, more complex Star-Spangled Banner. With St. Germain’s stated approach and country background, she’ll likely land right around that 90-second mark.
- Pick: Under 94.5 Seconds (-110)
Coin Toss Result Odds
History Favors Tails (Slightly)
The most basic prop bet in sports still generates action at championship games. BET99 and FanDuel price both sides at -110, creating a true 50-50 proposition with standard juice.
Historical data provides a tiny edge. Looking at Super Bowl coin toss history (the best dataset available), tails holds a 31-28 all-time advantage. More importantly, tails has hit in six of the last 10 Super Bowls and eight of the last 12.
Last year’s Grey Cup had its own coin toss drama when the referee forgot to ask Toronto to call it before flipping. After the do-over, the coin landed on tails. Small samples matter in novelty props, and recent momentum favors one side.
At true even odds, you’re gambling on pure randomness. But if forced to pick, lean on the slight historical edge and recent trends.
- Pick: Tails (-110)

Roughriders Team Total + Win Boost (BET99)
Can Saskatchewan Light Up the Scoreboard?
This Wild’n Grey Cup boost requires two outcomes: Saskatchewan winning the championship and scoring at least 27 points. The Roughriders averaged 26.22 points during the regular season, putting you right on the number.
The challenge comes from Montreal’s defense. The Alouettes allowed just 23.5 offensive points per game and ranked second in net offensive yards allowed. They held opponents to a league-best 256.9 passing yards per game. Saskatchewan managed only 24 points against BC in the Western Final – not exactly encouraging for over bettors.
But Saskatchewan plays with essentially home-field advantage in Winnipeg. The crowd will be overwhelmingly green and white. If Trevor Harris finds his rhythm early and AJ Ouellette establishes the ground game, 27+ points is achievable. The Roughriders haven’t won a Grey Cup since 2013, and that hunger could fuel an offensive explosion.
At +130, you’re getting decent value for what amounts to a correlated parlay. The win feels likely, but crossing 26.5 against Montreal’s stingy defense makes this risky.
- Pick: Pass – Montreal’s defense makes the over tough

Gatorade Shower Color Odds
Odds as of Nov. 16, 2025 at FanDuel Canada.
Must be 21+. GAMBLING PROBLEM? Call 1-800-GAMBLER (AZ, CO, KY, MD, OH, MI, TN, VA, WV); 1-800-BETS-OFF (IA); 1-800-9-WITH-IT (IN); (800) 327-5050 or mdgamblinghelp.org (MD); 1800gambler.net (WV)
The traditional victory bath for the winning coach offers the best value on the board at FanDuel. Yellow and orange sit as co-favorites, which makes sense as the most common Gatorade flavors on sidelines.
But here’s where team colors matter. Saskatchewan wears green and white, while Montreal sports red and white. Neither orange nor yellow connects to either franchise. Teams often coordinate the Gatorade color with their uniforms for the photo opportunity.
Green at +750 offers massive value if Saskatchewan wins. Red at +470 provides solid return if Montreal pulls the upset. The safe play targets the favorites, but Grey Cup celebrations often feature team pride.
With Saskatchewan favored and playing essentially at home in Winnipeg, their equipment staff might arrange green Gatorade for the perfect victory visual. At 7.5-to-1 odds, it’s worth a small wager.
- Pick: Green (+750) – small play

These novelty props add extra excitement to Canada’s championship game. While they won’t make you rich, they create rooting interests beyond the final score. Just remember to have your stopwatch ready for the anthem and hope the cameras catch that Gatorade shower clearly.
