Elks vs Stampeders Prediction 

Edmonton comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak and they are currently leading the West Division. The Elks have allowed 26 points or fewer in three of their last four games and their defense is the best in the CFL. Calgary has the highest scoring offense, but their defense has been awful. I am definitely worried about the Calgary defense, but I really like Vernon Adams at the quarterback spot. Take the Stampeders to win here.
