Analysis
This is a play on the EDMONTON ELKS for our CFL Sunday Enforcer. Edmonton has been one of the worst franchises in the CFL over the last few years but the Elks closed last season on a 7-4 run and things were expected to turn around this season but so far, not so good. They are 0-3 with all three losses by double digits so they have failed to cover any of those games. They are back home following a loss at Winnipeg and they have a huge rest edge. While Edmonton is not off a bye week, it has not played since June 26th which is essentially a mini bye and now facing a team that has to not only travel out west but also has three fewer days of preparation. Ottawa is not off to a much better start as it is 1-3 both straight up and against the number and as mentioned, this is not an easy scheduling spot. The Redblacks did win their one game on the road at Calgary and are 1-1 on the highway and were underdogs in both so now they go to the role of overpriced favorite, no matter the opponent. Ottawa will get quarterback Dru Brown back for this one which is a good sign for the passing offense but this is the game for the Elks they need to save their season despite it being as early as it is. 10* (716) Edmonton Elks
