The battle for the West comes to Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday. It’s the first time since 2015 that the Elks have hosted a playoff game and their first trip to the postseason since 2019. What a way to do it!

Claiming top spot in the division is special, and facing BC, who were on an absolute heater down the stretch before resting their starters to close out the season, sets the stage for a clear message: This is four quarters in which a very good football team, who is peaking at the right time, will head home empty-handed in 2026.

These two teams haven’t met in the Western Final presented by Wegovy® since 2011, which is fitting because that season the Lions also fell behind in the standings early and had to scratch and claw their way back into the playoff picture. This year, BC did just that, winning all but one of their final 10 games. But do they have enough to take down Edmonton? Let’s dive in.
