Montreal has the best record in the CFL at 9-1. I'm not fading the Alouettes. This is a play on Edmonton, which has won three in a row for the first time in six years.

The Elks have battled into playoff contention by posting impressive victories against Saskatchewan on the road, BC at home and on the road vs. Hamilton. They've done this by finding a strong ground attack averaging 199.3 rushing yards during the past three games. The Elks lead the CFL in scoring at 29.6 points per game.

The Elks can keep this game close by staying on the ground, keeping the ball away from Montreal. The Elks were playing much worse when they lost to Montreal earlier this season, 23-20, as a four-point home 'dog.
