Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 29, Elks 25

Moneyline

CALGARY (-142) is worth a look as a moderate favorite in the 1st installment of this provincial rivalry.

The Stamps have won 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, while Calgary has racked up 30 or more points in 5 of those outings.

While Edmonton (+118) has been playing good football lately, it routinely has trouble against the Stamps.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less conservative, CALGARY -2.5 (-114) is a better play laying the points. Obviously, don’t play both the moneyline and spread.

While Calgary has failed to cover 3 of the past 4 games since Week 8, it is a respectable 5-3 ATS across the past 8 outings. And, the Stamps have covered 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series.

Over/Under

OVER 52.5 (-105) is the play, as we could have an old-fashioned Western shootout.

The Over has cashed in 7 of the past 9 meetings in this series, and the Over has connected in 3 straight outings for Calgary. The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 contests, too.

For Edmonton, the Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 road outings while going 3-2 in the past 5 contests.
