TORONTO -- Ottawa Redblacks defensive back Abdul Kanneh says his team is quite comfortable being the underdog in Sunday's Grey Cup game against Calgary.

The West Division champion Stampeders are 9 1/2-point favourites and that number could reach double digits as game day approaches.

The Redblacks finished first in the East Division despite a mediocre 8-9-1 record and beat Edmonton last weekend to advance.

Calgary, meanwhile, was 15-2-1 on the year and dumped B.C. in the West final.

Speaking at today's media breakfast at a downtown Toronto hotel, Kanneh says the Redblacks aren't worried about "the doubters."

He adds team records don't mean anything now that both teams have qualified for the championship game.
