Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Edmonton Elks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Edmonton Elks Week 10 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-2) travel to meet the Edmonton Elks (0-8) Thursday as Week 10 CFL action gets underway. Kickoff from Commonwealth Stadium is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (CBSSN/TSN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Blue Bombers vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Blue Bombers have picked up consecutive wins — a 50-14 home victory over the BC Lions in Week 9 and a 28-14 win at home against the Elks in Week 7. Winnipeg has won 4 of its last 5 games while going 3-2 against the spread (ATS) during the span. However, one of those non-covers was against Edmonton.

Blue Bombers at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 26, Elks 15

Moneyline

There is no way you can bet the Blue Bombers (-650), as Winnipeg would cost 6 1/2 times your potential return. There is no value in betting such heavy favorites like that, especially over the long term.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The ELKS +12.5 (-110) might be winless, but it did cover as a 15-point underdog just 2 weeks ago in Winnipeg. The Blue Bombers are 0-2 ATS this season as double-digit favorites, including a straight-up loss in OT at the Ottawa Redblack.

Over/Under

As far as the total is concerned, the lean is to UNDER 44.5 (-110).

The Blue Bombers dropped a 50-burger on the BC Lions last time out and have scored 28 or more points in 3 straight games, including the Week 7 meeting with the Elks. That’s alarming for Under bettors.

However, the Elks are dead-last in the CFL in total yards per game (309.3) and points scored (13.1). While the defense has been giving, it did a decent job corraling the Bombers in the most recent meeting. It will be a close shave, but lean low.
