The Edmonton Elks (4-13) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (12-4) meet Saturday at IG Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.
The Elks failed to cover the spread as 1-point home favorites with a 35-21 loss last Saturday vs. the Montreal Alouettes as the Over (46.5) cashed. Edmonton has failed to cover in 3 straight games and has already been eliminated from playoff contention.
The Blue Bombers covered as 1-point favorites with a 34-26 win at the BC Lions as the Over (53) hit Oct. 6 before their bye last week. Winnipeg has already clinched home field in the Western Final after the Lions lost to the Calgary Stampeders Friday.
Winnipeg is 2-0 straight up and 0-2 against the spread (ATS) vs. Edmonton this year, with the Over and Under each hitting once.

Elks at Blue Bombers picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Bombers 29, Elks 26
Moneyline
The Blue Bombers — even with little to no motivation to win — just have too much talent to lose to the Elks. Winnipeg (-600) likely beats Edmonton for the 10th straight time, but I wouldn’t recommend laying this number.
PASS. Bet the spread and/or the total instead.
Against the spread
Winnipeg should have no motivation to win by margin, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it started pulling starters later in the game. The Blue Bombers may already be looking ahead to the postseason since they have nothing to gain from winning Saturday.
Elks QB Tre Ford will be making just his 10th career start, and Edmonton’s staff should be taking this game seriously in order to build culture and end the season on a positive note.
You could’ve bet Elks +12 (-107) Friday during halftime of the Stampeders/Lions game, but the line started dropping after Calgary took a 21-point lead in the 3rd quarter.
It’s not the best number, but I would still recommend ELKS +10.5 (-115).

Over/Under
The Over has hit in 8 of Winnipeg’s last 9 games and 5 of Edmonton’s last 7. The Elks have a bottom-3 defense in the CFL, and I don’t trust the Blue Bombers defense to perform at the same level after already clinching home field in the Western Final.
BET OVER 48.5 (-115).
