Elks vs Blue Bombers Prediction 

Edmonton comes into this matchup trying to stay undefeated on the season, but they were very fortunate to get by the Alouettes in their last game. The Elks have one of the most explosive running backs in the CFL with Justin Rankin and he should have a big day against a very average defense. Winnipeg allowed 37 points to Hamilton in their last matchup and I need to see a better defensive effort before I back them again. Take Edmonton and the points here.
