Elks at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions
Prediction
Tiger-Cats 36, Elks 27
Moneyline
The Elks (+175) are not a good pick to get their first win. Hamilton (-220) has lost 2 of its last 3 games but it at least has 3 wins this season, including one over Edmonton on the road.
The easy pick is to go with the Tiger-Cats but having to wager more than twice what your return is not a great strategy for a single regular-season game.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Elks are 3-6 ATS overall. They have covered the spread in 2 of their last 3 and 3 of their last 5 games. However, only 2 of their 9 losses are by fewer than 6 points.
The Tiger-Cats have covered the spread in all 3 of their wins but are 0-2 ATS as straight-up favorites. However, Hamilton beat Edmonton by 8 points in Week 6.
BET TIGER-CATS -5.5 (-110).
