Edmonton Elks Form
Edmonton head out on the road still seeking their first win of the season after seven consecutive defeats.
The Elks opened up with back-to-back home games and failed to make the most of that as they were beaten 29-21 by Saskatchewan and 23-20 to Montreal.
They then went out on the road to lose 39-36 in Toronto and 24-21 at the BC Lions to enter the bye week at 0-4.
Edmonton did not manage to solve their problems during the bye either, losing 37-34 when they hosted Ottawa.
The Elks then lost 20-14 when they visited the Redblacks a week later, and their losing skid reached seven games with a 44-28 loss at home to Hamilton.
Saskatchewan Roughriders Form
Saskatchewan have lost two of their last three games, but at 5-2 they have been a good start to the season.
The Roughriders, who went 6-12 last season, kicked off the campaign with back-to-back road, wins, beating Edmonton 29-21 and Hamilton 33-30.
They then improved to 4-0 when they beat Hamilton 36-20 and Toronto 30-23 at home either side of the bye week.
Saskatchewan’s perfect start was ended by a 35-20 defeat at the BC Lions, only for them to bounce back a week later with a 19-9 victory over Winnipeg.
The Roughriders failed to build on that win though, as they were beaten 29-16 at defending champions Montreal a week ago.
