The Lions come into the week with a 2-game win streak as they bounce back from losing 3 of their 4 previous outings. BC beat the Ottawa Redblacks 41-37 Saturday but failed to cover as a 9.5-point home favorite while the Over (47) cashed.
The Elks have also won 2 in a row, including a 36-27 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders as 3-point road underdogs last Friday. Edmonton has won 4 of 5 games since starting the season 0-9.

Lions at Elks picks and predictions
Prediction
Lions 34, Elks 30
Moneyline
The Elks have won 4 of their last 5 games but were shut out twice by BC earlier this season. They have scored 24 or more in every game since their last loss to BC.
BC has scored 29 or more in 4 of its last 5.
I think the Lions (-310) will make it 3-for-3 on the season, but the odds are too steep for a moneyline wager.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The Elks are 4-2 ATS in their last 6.
The Lions beat the Elks by 22 and 27 points in their previous matchups.
Because the Elks’ offense has picked up and BC’s defense has allowed 25 or more in 4 straight games, expect this to be closer than the previous meetings.
BET ELKS +6.5 (-110).
Over/Under
While their two previous games against each other this season combined for 49 points, 4 of the Lions’ last 6 games have had 50 or more total points.
Five of the Elks’ last 6 games have had totals of 50 or more.
BET OVER 49.5 (-110).
