Edmonton Eskimos at B.C. Lions

Saturday, 7 p.m. An interesting game featuring teams heading in opposite directions. B.C. (9-6) has dropped two straight — both to Winnipeg — to stand third in the West, just two points ahead of Edmonton (8-7), which has registered three consecutive wins. The Eskimos won the previous meeting 27-23 at Commonwealth Stadium. The Lions can’t afford to finish in a three-way tie with the Esks and Winnipeg as those teams hold the advantage. Edmonton is 5-4 within the West Division while B.C. is 2-5. Pick — Edmonton Last week: 2-2 Overall: 40-28-1
