Calgary Stampeders Preview

Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. has completed 263 of 405 passes for 3,962 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. Dedrick Mills leads the ground game with 1,340 yards and 11 touchdowns on 233 carries. Receiver Dominique Rhymes has 847 yards and six touchdowns, while Jalen Philpot has 830 yards on 61 receptions.

Calgary ranks third in the CFL in rushing at 127.8 yards per game and averages 27.5 points. The offense relies on big gains on first down with Mills’ steady production and Adams’ ability to find open receivers. Defensively, the Stampeders allow 23.9 points per game and have held four of their last six opponents under 24. Ball control and field position remain central to Calgary’s success.

Edmonton Elks Preview

Cody Fajardo has thrown for 3,136 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions while completing 73% of his passes. Running back Justin Rankin leads the team with 1,012 rushing yards and nine scores. Receiver Kaion Julien-Grant has 54 receptions for 783 yards and seven touchdowns.

Edmonton’s offense averages 24.2 points and 320 yards per game. Despite Fajardo’s high percentage of completions, protection issues have cost the Elks and stalled drives. The defense allows 27.6 points and 391 yards per game, ranking near the bottom of the league. To stay close, the Elks need Rankin to rush well early to open passing lanes downfield and the secondary to contain Rhymes and Philpot.

Calgary Stampeders vs. Edmonton Elks Prediction

Calgary has more to play for and a stronger all-around lineup. Adams’ poise and Mills’ inside running give the Stampeders control against the Elks. Edmonton can compete early with Fajardo’s talent under center, but Calgary’s advantages on both sides of the ball will prevail. Final Score Prediction: Calgary Stampeders win and cover ATS 35–24.
