The Blue Bombers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Edmonton and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been a buzz saw all season long, flexing their muscle as the best team in the league, and they’ve had great success both SU and ATS. The Blue Bombers also just beat the snot out of the Elks last week. However, it’s not easy to beat up on the same team back-to-back weeks, and I keep saying the Elks are better than their record. The Elks have one of the better offenses in the league and a defense that’s first in total defense and first in passing defense. At home, I lean toward the boatload of points.
