Team Analysis
Saskatchewan Roughriders
Trevor Harris, last year’s Grey Cup MVP, remains the steadiest quarterback in the West and gives Saskatchewan a floor few teams in this league can match. Whatever happened in Regina on July 23 will shape the read here, check the result before this goes live, but the Roughriders have been the West’s co-leader all season for a reason.
Starting QB: Trevor Harris
Edmonton Elks
Edmonton’s defence has led the entire CFL in takeaways this season, and Cody Fajardo has run an offence built around the ground game and shorter, controlled throws rather than pushing the ball downfield. Getting this rematch at Commonwealth Stadium instead of on the road is a real edge for a team that has been at its best in low-margin, defence-first games.
Starting QB: Cody Fajardo
Key Betting Angles
Home field flips the calculus from the July 23 meeting, where Saskatchewan hosted as a rested favourite off a bye. Edmonton gets that advantage back here, and this league-leading takeaway unit at home against a divisional rival is a genuine threat regardless of how Game 1 of this season series went.
Check the July 23 result before finalizing a number-driven read, series momentum matters in a three-game season set like this one.

Our Prediction
Cole’s Pick: Edmonton to win at home
Home field flips the calculus from the July 23 meeting, where Saskatchewan hosted as a rested favourite. Edmonton gets that advantage back here, and a league-leading takeaway unit at home against a divisional rival is a real threat no matter how the first meeting of this season series went.
Confirm the July 23 result and any momentum shift before locking this in, three-game season series like this one can swing on recent form as much as season-long numbers.
Confidence on Edmonton to win: medium, pending confirmation of the July 23 result and a posted line.
