Elks vs Stampeders Prediction
Calgary’s defense has rounded into form at home, winning on early downs and getting off the field on third‑and‑medium. The Stamps can lean on a steady ground game to keep Edmonton’s pass rush honest, while play‑action creates chunk gains against single‑high looks. The Elks have improved at hitting explosive passes, but sustaining drives could be tough if Calgary controls the trenches and limits yards after contact. Add in the special‑teams edge the Stampeders usually carry at McMahon, and the hosts have the cleaner path to a cover.
Score Prediction: Stampeders 27, Elks 19
Best Bet: Stampeders -6.5
