Final Thoughts
Winnipeg brings consistency, home-field advantage, and a well-balanced offensive unit. The Elks are improving and can keep it competitive early, but their shortcomings, especially on defense, will likely catch up to them. Expect the Bombers to cover here, as they should be able to ride their superior consistency on both sides of the ball to a double-digit victory that will improve them to 3-0 on the year while dropping the Elks to 0-3.
