Early reports suggested that Calgary QB Vernon Adams Jr. would play despite exiting Week 8 after a hit to the head. However, he didn't practice on Monday, which isn't a good sign on a short week. Standout rookie WR Damien Alford was also DNP, and his absence would hurt an already depleted WR corps thanks to injuries to Reggie Begelton, Jalen Philpot, and Clark Barnes. The Redblacks are fresh off their bye, and QB Dru Brown will suit up despite an injury scare of his own in Week 7.

This total is high, but with the CFL's worst defense (Elks) facing the league's top offense (Ticats), we're bound to see fireworks. Expect CFL MOP favourite Bo Levi Mitchell and this explosive Hamilton WR corps to shred an Edmonton secondary ranking last in opponent passer rating. The points shouldn't be one-sided, either, with Hamilton's defense looking shaky at times and Edmonton's offense running much smoother with Cody Fajardo under center.
