Calgary Stampeders at Edmonton Elks 7/7/22 - CFL Picks & Predictions

The Calgary Stampeders look to keep their record perfect on Thursday when visiting the Edmonton Elks. Calgary is 3-0 and tied for second in the West division with the BC Lions a half-game behind the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Calgary defeated the Edmonton Elks 30-23 on June 25. Bo Levi Mitchell passed for 321 yards with one touchdown, while Ka’Deem Carey rushed for 91 yards and one touchdown and Malik Henry caught six passes for 173 yards and one TD.

Ka’Deem Carey is the leading rusher with 165 yards and three touchdowns. The leading receiver for Calgary is Malik Henry with 12 receptions for 238 yards and two touchdowns, while Kamar Jorden has caught 15 passes for 164 yards.

Edmonton looks for its second consecutive victory when hosting Calgary on Thursday. Edmonton is last in the West division at 1-3 but is coming off a 29-25 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last Friday. Edmonton recovered a Dane Evans fumble and Scott Hutter rushed it back 14 yards for a touchdown with only 1:47 remaining, to steal the win.

Through the first four games of the regular season, Nick Arbuckle has passed for 795 yards with two touchdowns and six interceptions. The leading rusher for Edmonton is James Wilder with 124 yards, while the leading receiver is Kenny Lawler with 24 receptions for 285 yards and two touchdowns. Emmanuel Arceneaux has caught 15 passes for 235 yards and one touchdown.

Edmonton picked up its first victory of the season when recovering a fumble in the final minute of play but will face a Calgary offense that has put up big numbers on the board. Calgary is averaging 31.0 points per game and will face an Edmonton defense that is allowing an average of 35.0 points per game. Calgary does not have the best defense, allowing an average of 26.6 points per game, but is far better than Edmonton’s. Final Score Prediction, Calgary Stampeders win and cover ATS 38-24.
