Calgary Stampeders at Edmonton Elks Preview & Picks

Edmonton are tipped to beat Calgary for the second week running.

The Elks have been in good form since the start of August, with their only loss coming against the defending champions.

  • Edmonton Elks are 4-1 in their last 5 games
  • Edmonton Elks are 5-0-0 ATS in their previous 5 games
  • Edmonton beat Calgary by 15 points on the road last weekend
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the previous 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Calgary Stampeders lead the series 31-11 since 2010
  • Edmonton Elks won 35-20 when the two teams last met on September 2

Calgary Stampeders Form

Calgary head to Edmonton looking to stop the rot after suffering their third consecutive defeat last time out.

The Stampeders opened the season with two wins in the first three weeks, but since then they have managed just two wins in eight games.

They have not managed a victory since they upset Toronto at home 27-23, back on August 4.

Calgary returned to losing ways the following weekend as they were beaten 39-25 at the Argonauts, and a week later they fell to a 31-29 defeat when they hosted Ottawa.

That sent the Stampeders into the bye at 4-6, and when they returned to action last Monday they were beaten 30-25 by Edmonton.

Edmonton Elks Form

Edmonton come into this matchup looking to beat Calgary for the second straight weekend and maintain their momentum.

The Elks began the 2024 regular season with seven consecutive defeats, but sparked a turnaround when they beat Saskatchewan 42-31 at the start of August.

They followed that up with a 33-16 home win against the BC Lions, before heading to Hamilton for a 47-22 win that made it three wins in a row.

Edmonton's streak was ended by a 21-17 loss to defending champions Montreal, but they issued an immediate response last weekend.

The Elks improved to 4-8 when they went out on the road to beat Saturday's opponents, the Calgary Stampeders, 35-20.

Verdict

Edmonton have kick-started their season in recent weeks, while Calgary continue to splutter.

The Elks beat the Stampeders convincingly on the road last weekend, so we like their chances of another win and cover when they host Calgary on Saturday.
