The Double Blue should have no problem padding their stats in this one, as the Ottawa Redblacks have allowed 271.7 passing yards per game to opponents this season, including six games in which opposing quarterbacks have thrown for more than 300 yards. The Picks: Roughriders -7, Evans Over 3.5 Receptions, Evans Over 29.5 Receiving YardsĪmid another dreadful season of football in the nation’s capital, the Toronto Argonauts sail into town on top of the East Division and in search of their eighth victory.

Saskatchewan inches closer to locking down second place in the West Division with a win and cover tonight. It’s only a matter of time before Cody Fajardo starts connecting on some of those deep passes to Shaq Evans, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if it happens in Edmonton.

(third in the CFL with 714 rushing yards) will watch this one from the sidelines along with wide receivers Greg Ellingson and Derel Walker. To make matters even more difficult, the Elks’ top three offensive weapons are all out of the lineup this week. If the Green and Gold lose to the Saskatchewan Roughriders Friday night at home, it would mark the first time in 72 seasons that Edmonton has failed to win a game on its home turf.
The Elks currently sit last in the West Division with a 2-8 record, including a 0-6 record at Commonwealth Stadium. Unfortunately for the team and its fans, the results have been a massive disappointment. The Edmonton Elks entered the 2021 CFL season with a new name and plenty of optimism.
