The BC Lions face off against the Edmonton Elks in Week 7 of the CFL regular season tonight, this is everything you need to know about how to catch this game.
These two teams are having completely different starts to the season - Edmonton is 4-1 and tied with the Saskatchewan Roughriders for first place in the CFL West Division, while the Lions are 1-3 and in last place in the same division.
These two teams matched up a couple weeks, however, with BC earning their lone win of the season against Edmonton 36-24.
The Elks' running back Justin Rankin has been one of the best players in the CFL, leading the league in rushing yards, rushing yards per game, and rushing touchdowns.
Rankin has put up 100+ rushing yards and 1+ touchdown in five of the team's first six games with his one lackluster performance coming against the Lions. He only rushed the ball seven times for 19 yards and didn't score in that Week 5 matchup, and he'll have to produce at a higher level if Edmonton wants to avoid another upset.
On the other side, Lions' quarterback Nathan Rourke had a wonderful season last year when he threw for over 5,000 yards and 31 touchdowns, but he's passed for just 1,403 yards and five TDs this season as the team also continues to struggle.
It's an opportunity for both sides to prove something to themselves. The Lions want to get out last place and the Elks want to win the rematch. Let's get into how you can watch the game and the main line odds below, provided by bet365:
