Alouettes Elks odds picks predictions spread over/under betting line

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Montreal Alouettes (9-7) and Edmonton Elks (4-12) meet Saturday for a Week 19 matchup at Commonwealth Stadium. Kickoff for is set for 4 p.m. ET (TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Alouettes vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Alouettes will host an Eastern Semi-Final playoff game at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium after Hamilton’s 33-30 setback Friday against the BC Lions. Montreal will meet the aforementioned Tiger-Cats in that playoff game for the 2nd consecutive season.

The Elks have been atrocious on defense all season, although it has made some slight inroads lately. The Elks have managed a 4-3 straight-up (SU) record across the past 7 games, too, so they’re no longer a pushover.

This is the first and only regular-season meeting between these 2 sides. Montreal won in Edmonton last season on Oct. 1, 25-18, as the Als covered as 2-point favorites with the Under (53.5) also hitting. The road team has won outright and covered in 4 straight meetings. The underdog is also 6-1 against the spread (ATS) across the past 7 in the series.

Alouettes at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 23, Alouettes 19

Moneyline

EDMONTON (+115) is the play, as Montreal (-140) has nothing to play for with a 1st-round home playoff game already locked up.

This is the Grey Cup for the Elks, as they play in a meaningful game, even if it means nothing for where they’ll finish. The Elks have been competitive lately, posting a winning overall record since Week 11, while ticking off wins over the aforementioned Tiger-Cats, as well as a win over playoff-bound Saskatchewan.

Against the spread

If you like EDMONTON +2 (-110) on this short spread, you should also like it to win straight up. That’s the much better value, unless you’re convinced Montreal -2 (-110) is going to win by just a single point.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, ever so slightly. Regardless if the Als rest players or not, the Under has cashed in 5 in a row, and the defense has yielded just 9.7 PPG in the past 3 outings against Ottawa (twice), and Calgary, 3 teams not going to the playoffs.

However, Montreal’s defense might not be in lockdown mode, and we should see some key players resting bumps and bruises, getting ready for the postseason.
