Edmonton Elks vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers Prediction
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers just don’t lost to the Elks, so there’s reason to consider the home team in this spot. However, the Elks have figured out how to win over the last month and some change, and it’s hard to step in front of them. We also have to remember that even when the Elks started the season on a massive losing streak, those games were highly competitive. With both sides off a bye week, I expect a well played game. If there was a chance for the streak to end, it would be here. The Blue Bombers are hit or miss, and the Elks have found their mojo. Give me the Elks.
