Calgary Stampeders vs Edmonton Elks Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either the Elks or Stampeders in their current form, but seeing Calgary as a favorite is nuts. The Stampeders have done nothing well this season and haven’t won a game in over two months. The Elks have beaten the Stampeders twice this season already, and their scoring offense that’s best in the league does give them the edge. The Stamps are favored simply because they’re at home, and I’m just not buying it. Give me the free points with the Elks in a game they could win outright.
