Weekly Predictor: Elks to keep rolling?

We are halfway there!

All but one team is nine games into the season and there are some interesting trends occurring around the league right now.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.cfl.ca/2024/08/13/weekly-predictor-elks-to-keep-rolling

I’m hoping for an Elks win, even 'though I’m a Cats season ticket holder. The Elks need all the positive they can get right now.

Half way through… Based on current standings, to win a play-off breath, each team need to win certain games.

This chart numbers will change weekly.

SSK and MTL are front runners. Winning within the division will widen the gap. With Nathen and Chad (TOR) returning make the competition more interesting.
Winnipeg need to climb the hill. So, the BC game is very important for them. A Winnipeg win give riders an upper hand in the division.
I see Edm is out of the picture even though they are are making big damage as unexpected.

    • Edmonton need to win all games and Winnipeg should loose at least a game.

Shame on you. :turkey:

Shameful, but true.

Divisional games count for more than any other games. Elks have yet to meet Calgary and Winnipeg plus have one remaining game vs. the Riders.

Those games will determine if the Elks make the playoffs…

Lions will prevail. The team, esp the offence, seem to lose a little faith in VA the last couple of games, despite the MOP raves from the pundits. With Rourke taking over, the whole team might be rejuvenated; even the sagging D. Phillips, so effective earlier in the season, seems to have lost his way. Tackling has been atrocious. Penalties costly. With Rourke’s quick release, the O line will not be under as much pressure as with VA’s slower release. Then again, Rourke may have lost a bit of mojo in his NFL quest and his passing for the Falcons didn’t impress. I doubt that. This is a matter of pride not just for Rourke but the entire team, underperforming and unmotivated. Should all change on Sunday.

Good Luck. Too late.
See how Ford is running and getting injured. EDM should focus what is their play is…

Shutup System you’re not jinxing us this time!

Been around long enough to see all kinds of stuff happen and teams that look strong at mid season fall apart in the second half (Have you watched the Riders the last couple years?) to start predicting the second half of the season by what happens in the first…
