Lions at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

BC Lions 25, Elks 13

Moneyline

The Lions (-375) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that’s quite risky for not much reward. In addition, Adams Jr. is a question mark to play. While QB Dane Evans is more than capable of handling the reins, whomever is under center will have to deal with the absence of Rhymes, who has 18 receptions for 285 yards and 5 receiving scores, which is half of the team’s total TD grabs.

PASS.

Against the spread

BC LIONS -7.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly.

The questionable status for Adams is a concern, and the absence of Rhymes is a problem, too. But Edmonton +7.5 (-110) has been horrific this season, and it simply cannot be trusted, especially against a team it suffered a shutout against in Week 2.

Over/Under

UNDER 43.5 (-115) is worth a look.

Edmonton has been terrible this season, averaging just 15.0 points per game (PPG), while ranking dead-last in the CFL with just 320.3 total yards per game, too.

The Lions struggled in their Week 2 matchup against Edmonton, mustering just 22 points. However, the defense didn’t allow a single point. Expect another lower-scoring game in the rematch.

Edmonton Elks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Edmonton Elks at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Week 7 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The winless Edmonton Elks (0-6) visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (4-2) Thursday to open Week 7 of the CFL season. Kickoff from IG Field is at 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Blue Bombers odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

Edmonton fell 37-29 to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last Thursday as it failed to cover as a 1-point home favorite while the Over (42.5) cashed. The Elks have lost 10 straight games dating back to last season, but their 29 points were an improvement over a combined 18 points they had scored over their previous 2 games.

The Blue Bombers had a 2-game win streak snapped Saturday with a 31-28 overtime road loss to the Ottawa Redblacks. Winnipeg lost that one outright as a 10-point favorite as the Over (44.5) connected.

Elks at Blue Bombers picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Bombers 25, Elks 16

Moneyline

The Elks will potentially give someone a huge payout with an upset win but you just can’t count on that. Edmonton has lost 10 consecutive games dating back to last season and has been held to 13 or fewer points in 4 of its 6 games this season.

The Blue Bombers (-900) have twice won 2 games and lost 1. While a win is likely on the horizon, you should definitely AVOID them on the moneyline as there is no reason to wager 9 times your potential return on a regular season CFL game.

Against the spread

The Elks are 1-5 ATS this season. The Blue Bombers are 4-2 ATS, covering the spread in each of their 4 wins. However, they have only beaten one team by more than 14 points.

Only 2 of the Elks’ 6 losses have been by more than 14 points.

BET ELKS +14.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over has hit only twice for the Elks so far this season, and they scored just 18 total points in Weeks 4 and 5.

The Blue Bombers started the season scoring 45 and 42 points but have averaged 18.8 points in their last 4 games.

BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).

Tiger-Cats at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 25, Tiger-Cats 20

Moneyline

These are 2 struggling teams. Hamilton scored a combined 26 points before their 21-13 win last week. In their 3 losses, they allowed an average of 37.3 points per game. Edmonton scored 31 in their Week 3 loss, but the Elks have scored a total of 31 points combined in their other 4 games, with 13 being their high otherwise.

Edmonton’s defense has been better than Hamiton’s. Excluding a 42-31 loss to Toronto, the Elks have allowed 19.3 points per game.

This is where Edmonton picks up its 1st win of the year.

BET ELKS (+100).

Against the spread

Both teams covered the spread for the 1st time last week. But expecting a win by the Elks outright, while betting the spread isn’t a bad play, you get even money on the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in the Elks’ 5 games while the Tiger-Cats are 2-2 O/U. However, with Hamilton’s defense giving up 31.3 points per game and with Edmonton putting up 31 points in a loss already, we could see a bit of a shootout.

BET OVER 42.5 (-110).

Edmonton Elks at BC Lions odds, picks and predictions

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

The Edmonton Elks (0-2) visit the BC Lions (1-1) Thursday to open Week 3 in the CFL. Kickoff at BC Place is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Elks vs. Lions odds and lines and make our best CFL picks, predictions and bets.

Edmonton will try its luck on the road for the first time this season after being upset 16-12 at home by the Ottawa RedBlacks in Week 1 and falling 30-13 to the Montreal Alouettes last week. The losses have come despite the Elks ranking second in yards per game for (371.0) and first in passing YPG against (141.0). QB Trevor Harris‘ 3 interceptions haven’t helped.

The Lions have a league-high 409.0 yards per game on offense as a banged up QB Michael Reilly has completed 75.4% of his passes for 545 yards and 1 touchdown against no interceptions. Backup Nathan Rourke threw for 194 yards and 2 TDs against 2 INTs in Week 1’s 33-29 shootout loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Elks at Lions odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Elks 27, Lions 22

Money line

Back the ELKS (+140) to get their first win of 2021 as underdogs for the first time.

Edmonton scored just 12 and 13 points in its first two games of the season, respectively, but should be able to find the end zone with more regularity against a BC team that allowed a league-high 33 points to the Roughriders in Week 1. Harris has thrown for a league-high 566 yards through two games but has been lucky with untimely interceptions.

Elks RB James Wilder is also the league rushing leader with 174 yards on the ground and that balanced attack just needs the defense to be adequate against the Lions with Reilly (elbow) listed as questionable once again.

Against the spread

The half-point hook on this line is enough insurance to back the ELKS +3.5 (-120) with a 3-point cushion in the event of a loss.

Along with Reilly being questionable for the Lions, RB James Butler (ankle) was ruled out Wednesday. He’s his team’s leading rusher, albeit in a balanced ground attack.

Over/Under

The Under has been the dominant trend in the CFL through two weeks but the opening line of Week 3 seems to have overcorrected in a matchup of two teams who’ve already allowed 30 or more points in a game this season.

Back the OVER 46.5 (-120) regardless of who’s under center for the Lions.

The Montreal Alouettes (0-0) come off a Week 1 bye to visit the Edmonton Elks (0-1) Saturday night for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at Commonwealth Stadium. Below, we look at the Alouettes at Elks odds and lines and make our best CFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Als will play their first game since going 10-8 and finishing second in the East Division in 2019. They lost 37-29 to Edmonton in the East Division Semifinal.

The Elks took a 16-12 loss at home against the Ottawa RedBlacks in Week 1. QB Trevor Harris completed 33 of 44 passes for 333 yards but with 3 interceptions and no touchdowns. RB James Wilder ran for 89 yards on 15 attempts and added 72 yards as a receiver.

Alouettes at Elks odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Alouettes 23, Elks 21

Money line

Back the ALOUETTES (+155) as heavy underdogs. They had an extra week of rest to start the season and were able to study some 2021 game film of the Elks. Edmonton was upset at home by the RedBlacks last week and shouldn’t be such heavy favorites in Week 2.

Expect a bounceback performance for Harris, but Alouettes QB Vernon Adams Jr. is coming off a breakout 2019 season and should give the Elks defense a tougher test than RedBlacks QB Matt Nichols imposed last week.

Against the spread

MONTREAL +3.5 (-115) can also be backed on the spread to stay within 3 points in a loss.

Edmonton failed to cover as a 7.5-point home favorite last week while taking the outright loss.

Over/Under

Take the UNDER 46.5 (-120) as the dominant trend in the CFL should continue.

Montreal’s defense has a week of film on Edmonton to plan around and the extra idle week isn’t likely to boost the offense. The Elks put up just 12 points last week.
