Statistics (9 total teams):
Ottawa (+29) has the second best point differential in the league while Edmonton (-14) ranks seventh. Ottawa ranks 3rd in points per game (29.7) and 5th in fewest points allowed (24.8). Edmonton ranks 2nd in points per game (30.0) and 8th in fewest points allowed (32.8).
Summary:
Ottawa is coming off a tough 23-20 loss to Toronto while Edmonton was defeated by Winnipeg 30-23. Edmonton isn’t quite the powerhouse they were last season while Ottawa clearly looks like one of the elite teams. I’m picking Ottawa to win this one at home.
