The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Edmonton Elks meet for the second time this season tonight, with plenty on the line in the West Division.
Edmonton enters the matchup 7-3 and atop the division, while Winnipeg sits at 5-4 and is looking to close the gap.
The Elks have already gotten the better of this matchup, earning a 23-18 win over Winnipeg earlier this season. Edmonton will look to build on that result at home, where it has gone 4-1 this season.
The Elks are also coming off their most dominant performance so far this season, beating Toronto 42-12 with a strong defensive showing forcing six turnovers.
Winnipeg brings momentum of its own after snapping a two-game losing streak with a 33-21 victory over Ottawa. The Blue Bombers have been particularly effective away from home, going unbeaten 3-0 on the road this season.
Edmonton's quarterback Cody Fajardo is coming off an exceptional game against Toronto. Cody Fajardo finished the game with a 80.6% completion rate for 301 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. If Fajardo can play at the same level tonight, he will put the Blue Bombers' defense to the ultimate test.
With Edmonton fighting to maintain its top position and Winnipeg trying to make a move in the race, tonight's matchup carries plenty of weight.
