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).

Over/Under

These times piled up 66 points when they met in Week 6, blowing past the 42.5-point projection.

The Tiger-Cats’ last 2 games have not reached 45 total points but 5 of their previous 6 did. Their only win to have more than 44 total points was against the Elks.

Only 3 of the Elks’ 9 games have reached 45 total points but that includes 2 of their last 4. They have scored 29 or more 3 times but 14 or fewer points in the other 6.

The Tiger-Cats have allowed 27 or more points 7 times this season.

BET OVER 44.5 (-110).
