So, a typical high-scoring CFL game! Are the Riders or the Elks favored in this game? ---

Both have lost their home openers but Elks haven’t won at home since 2019, so I think the Riders have the edge. ---

One of the Riders coaches took a penalty for interfering with an official. 10 yard penalty ---

Now it’s exciting Elks run it from the 2 yard. ---

TD and convert good. 11-3 Elks. Two major penalties and if either gets a major penalty rest of the game, out for objectionable conduct. ---

Sigh. Riders picked off in end zone after an impressive drive. ---

Don’t forget, that beer was born and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta. 😃 And the Blue Jays just won, so I’ve switched over to the Elks - Riders game. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cfl-2023-season/986708.md?page=2)
