Randy’s Pick
The Edmonton Elks are just a bad team cross the board, and it’s hard to get behind them, especially when they don’t cover numbers despite being underdogs every week. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are not only winning games, but they’ve been covering machines at home the last few years. The Blue Bombers have the second best scoring offense and the best scoring defense. Assuming the Blue Bombers take this game seriously and don’t start resting guys for the playoffs, they should roll here.
