The Bombers' 16-0 first-half lead in Edmonton masked a fatal second-half offensive blackou

Winnipeg managed just 2 first downs and 19 total yards in the second half against the Elks, blowing a 16-0 lead before losing on a walk-off field goal. That split—dominant first half, nonexistent second half—explains why they sit at .500 and are +7 home underdogs to a 9-1 Montreal team that has won seven straight.
