Elks (6-1) host Roughriders Saturday seeking home-and-home sweep

Edmonton and Saskatchewan meet again just days after a high-scoring CFL clash, with the Elks now holding the league's best record.

The Edmonton Elks host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday night, looking to complete a home-and-home sweep of the defending Grey Cup champions after edging them on the road last week.

Quarterback Cody Fajardo threw for a career-best 510 yards and four touchdowns to lead Edmonton (6-1) to a 36-34 win over Saskatchewan (4-2) in that earlier meeting.

The rematch gives the Elks a chance to build on their strong start to the season against a Roughriders team that remains one of the CFL's top contenders after winning last year's championship.
