This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Elks/Lions.

Both clubs have/had big expectations coming into this season, but each has gotten out to a dubious start.

Edmonton is 0-2. Both games have gone well UNDER the number.

BC is a slightly better 1-1. It's off a low-scoring 15-9 victory at Calgary last weekend.

I expect some offensive fireworks finally from both teams tonight though in what will be a perfect night with the roof open in Vancouver's BC Place.

Trevor Harris will be given the green light here early and often as Edmonton tries to pull off an upset here. He's so far gone for 566 yards, one TD and three INT's.

Mike Reilly is still looking for a big breakout game for the Lions. He has 545 passing yards, one TD and zero INT's. He and Nathan Rourke have combined for three TD's and two INT's.

BC has an up-tempo offense, and Edmonton is going to be forced to match it.

Look for this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
