It may well be another close game but I will pick Edmonton because they are playing at home.
This is the toughest pick of the week for me. I just have a gut feeling that Calgary will continue the momentum that they built up in the 4th quarter on Monday.
On second thought, playing at home has not exactly been a blessing for the Elks the last four years, to put it mildly.
Below are the injury lists for the Elks and Stamps.

Ford and Brown are doing their thing on the ground, but at some point the Elks will have to target Lewis and Dunbar to open things up.
So Austin Mack get tossed from the game for throwing a punch, but Reggie Begleton (Calgary) doesn't??? He just threw a punch at an Edmonton player.
Great comeback win by the EE; makes it tougher for Calgary to move towards the cross-over, which i don't want to see.
Tre Ford is struggling some with vision and reads, but his arm strength and accuracy are fine, and his running ability is good as it gets for a QB.
I didn't like Jones play calling when he sent Ford on a run second down and five after he just picked a first down on a sweep and everyone was waiting for him, followed by a straight plunge into the line by Brown, again when everyone was expecting it on third and two, costing the Elks a turnover late in the game. However the Elks pulled the game out of the fire anyway.
Ford showed how green he is in having few completions and a couple of interceptions in the first three quarters but also showed how he can overcome adversity in the fourth quarter as he led them back from a 16 point deficit to win.
Absolutely. Kudos to Chris Jones for sticking with him throughout the game and for Ford getting through considerable adversity tonight.Quote:
