CFL Grey Cup 2014: Date, Time, TV Schedule, Live Stream and Preview

For the fifth time in as many seasons, a new CFL champion will be crowned Sunday when the Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats square off in the 102nd Grey Cup.

As expected, both teams have the look of champions entering Sunday. The Stamps (15-3) took care of business against the Edmonton Eskimos behind five total touchdowns from Bo Levi Mitchell on the way to the 43-18 victory.

The Ti-Cats (9-9) put on an impressive show against the Montreal Alouettes on the way to a 40-24 triumph thanks to a pair of touchdowns from both Brandon Banks and Nic Grigsby.

The results set up a rematch of the 1999 Grey Cup, where the Ti-Cats will look to hoist their first title since 1999, the Stamps since 2008.

These two know each other quite well.

In fact, the two sides met twice this season. Week 4 was a gritty 10-7 win for Calgary, with a second meeting four weeks later going to a 30-20 finish in favor of the Stamps once more.

Still, it can be difficult to take too much away from the season sweep. Since then Hamilton has dropped just three games and Calgary has its known issues when it comes to finishing. Last year the team collapsed after a 14-win season and dropped the West final to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, 35-13.

The good news for Calgary is that it has won six of its last seven and allowed just 19 points per game in that stretch. As a whole, the team ranks second in points allowed and second in red-zone defense.

Even better, questions under center have been answered. The aforementioned 24-year-old Mitchell had a breakout game last time out and has the full trust of head coach John Hufnagel, as captured by Arash Madani of SportsNet.ca:

Even if Mitchell should struggle under the bright lights of the Grey Cup, he is sure to have some serious help from his backfield. 

Calgary averages 28.4 points per game and 144 rushing yards per game thanks to the efforts of running back Jon Cornish, who has now led the league in rushing for three consecutive seasons. 

His 1,082 rushing yards in just nine games of work were enough to secure the Most Outstanding Canadian award, as his team captures on Twitter:

None of this is to suggest one should count out Kent Austin's team, though. Despite the .500 mark, it is easy to forget that the Ti-Cats made it this far last season only to be upended by those same Roughriders.

Zach Collaros is the man under center for the Ti-Cats, who replaces Henry Burris this season. He was sound in last week's win with 199 yards and was only helped by Banks, who took a pair of punts back for touchdowns, the second one being of the must-see variety.

Both teams have plenty of big-game experience, momentum and have grown by leaps and bounds since their two encounters earlier this season.

The third has everything swinging in the balance.

One man can swing a game like this on his own.

That could apply to either Cornish or Banks by the time Sunday is over, though.

The thing that decides this game, as is the case with any quality football, is the play in the trenches. Calgary has 50 sacks to date on the year, while Hamilton's line has surrendered a gaudy 65.

Now add in the fact Collaros is inexperienced, and one can see why the Stamps have a major advantage. A few pocket breakdowns in a championship match can prove the difference.

Banks will get his on returns, but with Cornish grinding away on the ground and Mitchell capitalizing on lapses through the air, Calgary will be able to pull away in the second half.

Prediction: Calgary 36, Hamilton 28
