The Edmonton Elks are 12-4 and closing in on a chance to host the West Final! With two games remaining in the regular season, Edmonton has a massive opportunity against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to take another step toward a home playoff game.
On this episode of Elks101, Declan, Eddie and Rick preview the Elks’ matchup with Winnipeg, break down the keys to the game, and discuss what Edmonton needs to do to keep its momentum rolling toward the playoffs.
