The Canadian Football League is a quirky league with quirky scheduling. This matchup is one of those weird schedule dates. Calgary and Edmonton just played this past Monday. The Elks won, 32-20.
So has anything changed during these last five days?
Well, yes. The Stampeders are expected to get back star QB Bo Levi Mitchell, a two-time winner of the league's Most Outstanding Player. Mitchell was among the passing leaders through the first two weeks of the season until suffering a broken leg causing him to miss the past three games.
Rookie Jake Maier filled in well for Mitchell throwing for 300 yards in each of his three starts. Mitchell really makes Calgary's offense more dangerous with his deep passing capabilities. He has excellent weapons in wideouts Kamar Jorden, Markeith Ambles and Josh Huff to go along with running back Ka'Deem Carey, who leads the CFL with four rushing TD's.
Edmonton's offense played very well in the first meeting. Elks QB Trevor Harris lit up Calgary completing 31-of-41 passes for 398 yards and four TD's. There's no reason why Harris can't have a repeat performance. The Stampeders give up the most passing yards in the league.
