Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Elks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Toronto Argonauts at Edmonton Elks Week 21 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Argonauts (10-7) and Edmonton Elks (6-11) wrap up their regular seasons Friday. Kickoff from Commonwealth Stadium is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (TSN / CFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Argonauts vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Argonauts are coming off a cover as 5.5-point favorites in a 38-31 win over the visiting Ottawa Redblacks Saturday with the Over (50.5) hitting. Toronto clinched 2nd in the East with the victory, and it will host Ottawa in the East Division semifinal Nov. 2.

The Elks won 23-18 as 1.5-point underdogs at the Calgary Stampeders Oct. 12 as the Under (51) cashed. WR Eugene Lewis scored a go-ahead TD with 1:09 remaining on a 10-yard pass from QB Tre Ford (23-of-29, 208 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs).

In a June 22 meeting, the Elks covered as 5.5-point road underdogs in a 39-36 Argonauts win as the Over (49) hit. QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson (28-of-38, 342 yards, 4 TDs) started in the loss, but Ford will be under center for Friday’s regular-season finale.

Argonauts at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 23, Argonauts 20

Moneyline

With the Argonauts having nothing to play for and resting 5 key starters — Kelly, Carey, Hunter, Giffen and Allen — the Elks (-200) will likely win at home in their season finale. However, this line has too much vig to recommend the ML.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

QB Cameron Dukes will get the start for Toronto. While he’s obviously not as productive as Kelly, he’s still serviceable with 11 total TDs (7 passing, 4 rushing) and 6 INTs on the season. Dukes was the starter in the June 22 meeting between these teams and was 18-of-21 passing for 214 yards with 2 TDs.

The Argonauts resting a few key starters is definitely a concern, but Dukes getting 3.5 points against Edmonton seems like an overreaction to Toronto having already clinched 2nd in the East.

BET ARGONAUTS +3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Elks have scored 24 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Argonauts have allowed 17 or fewer in 2 straight on the road — and they did it against much better competition in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and BC Lions.

In a game that has zero playoff implications, less scoring may be the result with multiple starters on offense sitting out.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-110).

Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders Week 19 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Week 19 continues Saturday with the Edmonton Elks (5-11) on the road taking on the Calgary Stampeders (4-10-1). Kickoff from McMahon Stadium is at 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Elks have lost 3 straight games. They are coming off a 28-24 home loss to Saskatchewan last Friday, failing to cover the 3-point spread as underdogs. The Over (51.5) cashed in.

The Stamps are mired in a 7-game winless streak in which they are 0-6-1. They are coming off a 35-12 road loss to BC, failing to cover the 7-point spread as underdogs. The Under (54) cashed in.

Edmonton is 2-0 against Calgary this season, winning 35-20 on Sept. 2 in Calgary and 37-16 5 days later in Edmonton.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 34, Stampeders 24

Moneyline

The Stamps have averaged only 19.8 points per game over their last 5 and have not surpassed 20 points in either game against the Elks.

The Elks put up 35 and 37 points in their 2 previous meetings with the Stamps this season. They have scored 27 or more in 7 of their last 10 games.

Calgary has allowed 31 or more in 6 of their last 7 games, all losses.

BET ELKS (-115)

Against the spread

With only a 1.5-point spread and slightly better odds at -105, you are better off just picking the moneyline win for the favorites because it allows for the 1-point win as well.

PASS.

Over/Under

Both meetings this season had 53 or more total points.

Four of Edmonton’s last 5 games have cleared 51 total points.

Five of the last 7 for Calgary have surpassed the projected total for this game.

Week 18 continues Saturday with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-7-1) on the road against the Edmonton Elks (5-10). Kickoff from Commonwealth Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughriders vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

This will be the 3rd time these teams have met this season — the road team has gone 2-0 straight up.

The Roughriders have won 2 straight after a 4-game losing streak. They are coming off a 29-16 home win over Ottawa as 4-point favorites. The Under (51.5) cashed in.

The Elks are coming off 2 straight losses to Winnipeg. They lost 55-27 last week on the road, failing to cover the 3.5-point spread as underdogs. The Over (49) cashed in.

Roughriders at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughriders 31, Elks 21

Moneyline

The Elks are only 2-5 at home and lost to the Roughriders 29-21 at Commonwealth Stadium when they were 1-point favorites June 8.

But the Roughriders aren’t great on the road with just a 3-4-1 record. They have averaged 30 points per game over their last 4.

We like a Roughriders win, but you get a better payout on the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

All of the Roughriders’ wins this season have been by at least 3 points and covered the spread.

BET ROUGHRIDERS -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The totals in their 2 meetings this season have been 50 and 73 points.

Saskatchewan has scored 33.6 points in its wins.

Edmonton Elks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Edmonton Elks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Week 17 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (5-9) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8-6) play the 2nd half of a home-and-home series Friday. Kickoff from Princess Auto Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

In the 1st half of the home-and-home set Saturday, the Blue Bombers covered as 2.5-point road favorites in a 27-14 win with the Under (50) hitting. Winnipeg used a 17-0 run in the 4th quarter, including a pair of TD runs by RB Brady Oliveira, to break a 10-10 tie at the end of the 3rd.

After starting the season 0-4, Winnipeg has gone 8-2 over its last 10 games. It is in 1st place in the West and can clinch a playoff spot with a victory Friday.

The Elks are expected to start QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson Friday after QB Tre Ford threw 2 INTs and recorded a fumble in Saturday’s loss. Edmonton is 4th in the West and needs at least 2 wins to overtake the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the 3rd and final playoff spot.

The Blue Bombers have won the last 11 meetings between these teams and have covered in 2 straight.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Elks at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 25, Elks 14

Moneyline

The Blue Bombers (-225) will be extra motivated to win and become the 1st team in the West to clinch. However, it’s hard to win long term betting into lines with this much vig.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

These are the 2 hottest teams in the CFL right now, with Edmonton going 6-1 ATS over its last 7 games and Winnipeg going 5-1 ATS over its last 6. The Blue Bombers have a clear motivational edge in this game, though: If they win, they’re in the playoffs.

The Elks’ odds of making the postseason drastically dropped with Saturday’s home loss. I have no interest in taking the points with a lower-ranked team that is on the road and probably already knows its season is over.

BET BLUE BOMBERS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under has gone 12-2 in Blue Bombers games this season, with Winnipeg allowing 16 points or fewer in 4 of its last 7. Don’t expect a dead cat bounce from Edmonton’s offense — Winnipeg’s defense has more to play for at this point.

Prediction

Moneyline

Winnipeg has beaten Edmonton in 10 straight meetings, 8 of those by at least 10 points.

Something will have to give. Winnipeg has allowed 17.6 points per game over its 5-game streak. Meanwhile, Edmonton has averaged 35.2 points per game in the last 6, while allowing 21.0 points per game.

BET BLUE BOMBERS (-145).

Against the spread

With only a 2.5-point spread, you might as well go with the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

Three of their last 4 meetings have had totals of 50 or higher.

Six of the last 7 for Winnipeg have not reached 50 total points.

Prediction

Elks 37, Stampeders 23

Moneyline

The Elks (-184) are hot, winning 4 of their last 5, while the Stamps have lost 3 straight and 4 of 5.

Calgary is winless on the road this season, while 3 of Edmonon’s 4 wins this season have been at home.

The Elks have put up 33 or more points in 4 of their last 5 games, while the Stamps have scored fewer than 30 in 6 straight. They have allowed over 30 points in 4 of their last 5 games, including 3 straight.

I like the home team, but at -184 odds, it isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Stamps have not covered the spread in their last 4 losses. Of their 7 losses, 6 have been by 4 or more points. They are 6-5 ATS.

The Elks are 8-4 ATS overall this season and have covered the spread in 5 straight games. All 4 of their wins have been by double digits.

BET ELKS -3.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Calgary’s last 4 games and 6 of their last 8 have had totals of more than 50 points.

Four of Edmonton’s last 6 have had more than 50 total points.

Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (3-8) and Calgary Stampeders (4-6) meet Monday for a Week 13 matchup at McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Elks suffered a 21-17 loss in Montreal in Week 12, but Edmonton covered as a 7-point underdog as the Under (51) cashed. Edmonton has covered a season-high 4 consecutive games, while the Over/Under has alternated in each of the past 4 outings.

The Stampeders suffered a 31-29 loss as 3-point favorites at home in Week 11 prior to the team’s bye week. Calgary is just 1-3 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) across the past 4 contests. The Over has hit in 3 in a row.

This is the 1st meeting of the season between these provincial rivals. Edmonton won the most recent matchup at home Sept. 9, 2023, but Calgary is 6-1 SU in the past 7 meetings while covering 3 in a row and 5 of the past 7 in the series. The Over is 7-2 in the past 9 meetings dating back to Sept. 7, 2019.

Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Stampeders 29, Elks 25

Moneyline

CALGARY (-142) is worth a look as a moderate favorite in the 1st installment of this provincial rivalry.

The Stamps have won 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, while Calgary has racked up 30 or more points in 5 of those outings.

While Edmonton (+118) has been playing good football lately, it routinely has trouble against the Stamps.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less conservative, CALGARY -2.5 (-114) is a better play laying the points. Obviously, don’t play both the moneyline and spread.

While Calgary has failed to cover 3 of the past 4 games since Week 8, it is a respectable 5-3 ATS across the past 8 outings. And, the Stamps have covered 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series.

Over/Under

OVER 52.5 (-105) is the play, as we could have an old-fashioned Western shootout.

The Over has cashed in 7 of the past 9 meetings in this series, and the Over has connected in 3 straight outings for Calgary. The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 contests, too.

For Edmonton, the Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 road outings while going 3-2 in the past 5 contests.

Elks at Alouettes picks and predictions

Prediction

Alouettes 34, Elks 30

Moneyline

Montreal starting QB Cody Fajardo returns to the lineup after missing 4 weeks with a hamstring injury. That will bode well for the offense because the defense will have its hands full with an Edmonton offense that has scored 40.7 points per game over the last 3 games and has scored 28 or more in 4 straight games 5 of their last 6.

But Montreal has allowed the fewest points in the league so they should pick up in the win and end the Elks’ winning streak.

But with -335 odds, don’t touch the moneyline.

Edmonton Elks at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Edmonton Elks at Hamilton Tiger-Cats odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (2-7) and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-7) meet Saturday for a Week 11 battle at Tim Hortons Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Elks picked up a 33-16 win over the visiting BC Lions in Week 10, cashing as 1-point underdogs. Edmonton has come alive with 2 straight wins and covers after opening the season 0-7 straight up (SU).

The offense is a big part of the resurgence for Edmonton, averaging 34.3 points per game (PPG) across the past 3 outings. The 16 points allowed against the Lions also marked a season best for the Elks defense.

On the road, Edmonton is still just 1-3 SU, but it is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) while splitting the Over/Under 2-2 in those 4 road outings.

The Tiger-Cats haven’t had a lot of success, but their most recent win in Week 8 was a 44-28 victory in Edmonton as 3-point underdogs as the Over (51) easily cashed. Hamilton has scored 22 or more points in 5 of the past 6 games, but it has allowed at least 28 points in 3 straight outings.

Elks at Tiger-Cats picks and predictions

Prediction

Tiger-Cats 25, Elks 22

Moneyline

HAMILTON (-102) is worth playing as the slight underdogs at home.

The Tiger-Cats won the 1st meeting in Edmonton (-118) in Week 8. In that meeting, the Elks removed an ineffective QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, who was just 10 of 22 for 85 yards with 1 INT before QB Tre Ford came on for a spark. The latter was 10 of 15 for 121 yards, 3 TDs and 19 rush yards. However, Ford is likely out with a chest injury, so MBT is back.

The Tiger-Cats are a good bet in the Hammer in this battle of 2-7 clubs.

Against the spread

If you’re not quite sold on HAMILTON +1.5 (-115) straight up, and believe Edmonton -1.5 (-105) can win but only by 1 point, then take the Ti-Cats with the points. However, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room.

The Ti-Cats are a much better value straight up on the moneyline.

Over/Under

UNDER 52.5 (-105) is the play, but be careful. The last time these teams met in Week 8, we had 72 combined points.

However, the Under has cashed in each of the past 2 games at home for Hamilton, averaging just 21.5 PPG while allowing 28.5 PPG.

For Edmonton, the Under cashed last week in a win over the BC Lions, as the defense allowed a season-low 16 points. In addition, the D limited the Lions to just 6 points in the final 3 quarters, including scoreless 2nd and 4th quarters. BC was only able to muster 105 rushing yards, and most of its damage came in the return game, or the contest might have been even more lopsided.

Edmonton has struggled in the pass game, averaging just 270.2 yards per game, which is 7th in the CFL. Defensively, it has hemorrhaged yards, allowing 396.1 total yards per game, worst in the league. However, it has made some strides lately.

Hamilton has the No. 1 offense, in terms of total yards per game (393.4) and passing yards (321.3), but it’s off-balance, with just 72.1 rushing yards per game, which is worst in the CFL. Defensively, the Ti-Cats are just so-so.

BC Lions at Edmonton Elks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s BC Lions at Edmonton Elks odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The BC Lions (5-3) and Edmonton Elks (1-7) meet Sunday for a Week 10 battle at Commonwealth Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBSSN/TSN/CFL+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the BC Lions vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Lions returned from a Week 8 bye with a stunning 25-0 loss at Winnipeg in Week 9, coming nowhere near covering as a 4.5-point favorite as the Under (49.5) cashed. The Lions have allowed 20 or more points in 6 straight outings, while the Under is 5-2 in the past 7 contests.

The Elks opened the season 0-7 straight up (SU) and 3-4 against the spread (ATS) in the first 7 games, but Edmonton finally picked up its 1st victory of the season at Saskatchewan in Week 9, 42-31. It won outright as a 4.5-point underdog, cashing the Over (48) for the 2nd straight outing. It’s the 1st time the total has gone high in consecutive weeks for the Elks this season.

BC has won 8 in a row in this series since 2021, and the Lions are 7-1 ATS in that span, while the Under has cashed in 4 of the previous 5 meetings. That includes a 24-21 win in Vancouver back in Week 4, although the Elks were able to grab the cover in that outing as a 6.5-point underdog. The Under (53) cashed, too.

BC Lions at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

BC Lions 22, Elks 19

Moneyline

BC LIONS (+106) are worth a look in this road contest, whether or not starting QB Adams is able to suit up.

The offense looked dismal last week against Winnipeg before he left with a hyperextended knee in the 4th quarter. If he is unable to go, BC should still have enough to take down the Elks (-128), maintain its dominance in the series.

Against the spread

BC Lions +1.5 (-110) doesn’t make much sense to play, unless you’re dead-set on Edmonton -1.5 (-110) winning, but only by a single point.

If you like the Lions, just play them straight up on the moneyline for a much better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 48.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this final battle on the Week 10 CFL schedule.

BC was blanked in Week 9, and it has cashed low on the total in 2 in a row, and 5 of the past 7 outings. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games on the road, too.

For the Elks, while the Over is 3-1 in 4 home games this season, the Under cashed in the first meeting with the Lions in Week 4.
