The Esks can clinch first place and host the CFL Western Championship on November 9th with a win Friday night. After dropping the 2003 home opener, Edmonton has won seven straight games at home. It's the first in a back to back series between the two West rivals. They'll close out the regular season next Saturday in Winnipeg. Earlier this season, the Bombers beat Edmonton 14-12 on Canada Day in Winnipeg.

Friday's game marks the kick-off of 630 CHED's Santa's Anonymous campaign.

The Eskimos will also honour the Canadian Military with a special half-time show that includes a bridge building competition, a colour guard and displays of historic and state of the art military vehicles. Military engineers and Signalers are celebrating their 100th anniversaries this year.
