CFL News:
Quarterback Dru Brown returns to Ottawa’s starting lineup after missing three games with a hip injury, bringing hope for improved offensive production. Edmonton remains the league’s only winless team but showed improvement in their recent loss to Winnipeg, with Tre Ford throwing for 252 yards. The Elks lead the CFL with 11 big plays despite their 0-3 record, suggesting potential for explosive offensive moments. Ottawa’s penalty issues continue to plague them, averaging 10 penalties per game and leading the league in this category.

With CFL betting odds favoring Ottawa by just one point, this promises to be a closely contested battle. CFL scores from this game will help determine whether Edmonton can finally break through for their first win or if Ottawa can build momentum with their second victory of the season.
