Whereas the Edmonton Elks didn’t play in Week 15, the simulation remains to be excessive on the group that’s gained 4 of its final 5 video games. Whereas the Elks nonetheless have a methods to go to make the playoffs, the simulation sees them as a giant downside for the remainder of the league, ought to they get there. The simulation has them as its second-most doubtless group to win the Gray Cup in November.
