Randy’s Pick

This is a lot of points to give an Edmonton Elks squad at home that’s had an extra week to prepare. However, the Elks are a below average team on both sides of the ball and has had no covering success dating back to last season and beyond. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have arguably the best offense in the league, and it shod have no problem lighting up this Edmonton defense that’s ninth in total defense and eighth in scoring defense. Again, thick line, but a blowout win for the Blue Bombers wouldn’t be surprising given the numbers and current form.
