elks v lions... Edmonton team site:

  • Despite the Elks 0-2 start, they enter the night averaging the second most yards per game in the CFL at 371. That’s second only to BC, who is the lone club to average over 400 yards per game (409).
  • Former Edmonton QB Michael Reilly’s troublesome throwing elbow hasn’t equaled incompletions. Reilly leads the CFL in completion percentage at 75.4 per cent.
  • Trevor Harris comes into the game as the CFL’s leading passer with 566 yards, just ahead of Reilly’s 545 yards.
  • LOL Harris.

Tonight: Elks (+3.5) at BC

The Lions are no longer owned by a dead guy; hopefully new owner Amar Doman is not a Pezim or a Skalbania.  He's got some work ahead of him to rebuild the Lions brand.  Good luck to him.

For BC, Michael Reilly listed as starter with a -Q suffix (questionable, game time decision) so ah, bet accordingly. He was again listed as limited all week in practice.

BC has completely revamped its kicking game. Global kicker Taeru Yamasaki has been cut and global punter Jake Ford is on the suspended list.  In their place they are rolling out two (!) import kickers: recently signed PK Jimmy Camacho and practice roster punter Stefan Flintoff.  Their global player is now Niklas Gustav, who backs up at the QK (?) position on the DL.  (maybe it's the James "QuicK" Parker position?)

For the Elks, Armanti Edwards (just 33 yards on five catches so far) is injured as is import LT D'Antne Demery.  Canadian Kyle Saxelid will start in Demery's place.  Somehow Trevor Harris is the yardage leader in passing with both Edwards and Ellingson producing very little.  The Elks should've rebranded as the Edmonton Engima.

The betting line is EDM + 3.5. CFL.ca was 4-2 BC.  MBB was 35-7  (83%) BC.  So the stage is set for a huge Elk victory tonight, further confusing the CFL's muddled power rankings.
