Elks at Argonauts picks and predictions

Prediction

Argonauts 37, Elks 28

Moneyline

The Argonauts had won 6 games in a row before their loss last week. The Elks, after a terrible start to the season, have won 4 of their last 6 games.

Toronto is unbeaten at home and beat Edmonton once earlier this season.

However, the risk of wagering on Toronto (-370) isn’t worth the reward.

PASS.

Against the spread

Toronto is 10-4 ATS overall this season but are 3-3 ATS in their last 6. Seven of their last 8 wins have been by more than 7 points.

Toronto already has a 12-point win over Edmonton this season.

Edmonton has averaged 29.1 points over its last 7 contests. The Elks are 6-9 ATS overall this season and 1-3 ATS in their last 4.

Toronto has averaged 33.7 points in its last 7 games.

BET ARGONAUTS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Their meeting in June had 74 total points.

Edmonton’s last 5 games have had totals of 50 or more.

BET OVER 48.5 (-110).

BC Lions at Edmonton Elks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s BC Lions at Edmonton Elks Week 16 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The BC Lions (9-4) visit the Edmonton Elks (4-10) in Week 16 CFL action Friday. Kickoff from The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium is at 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Elks odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

The Lions come into the week with a 2-game win streak as they bounce back from losing 3 of their 4 previous outings. BC beat the Ottawa Redblacks 41-37 Saturday but failed to cover as a 9.5-point home favorite while the Over (47) cashed.

The Elks have also won 2 in a row, including a 36-27 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders as 3-point road underdogs last Friday. Edmonton has won 4 of 5 games since starting the season 0-9.

BC has shut out Edmonton twice this season by a combined 49-0 score.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Lions at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Elks 30

Moneyline

The Elks have won 4 of their last 5 games but were shut out twice by BC earlier this season. They have scored 24 or more in every game since their last loss to BC.

BC has scored 29 or more in 4 of its last 5.

I think the Lions (-310) will make it 3-for-3 on the season, but the odds are too steep for a moneyline wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The Elks are 4-2 ATS in their last 6.

The Lions beat the Elks by 22 and 27 points in their previous matchups.

Because the Elks’ offense has picked up and BC’s defense has allowed 25 or more in 4 straight games, expect this to be closer than the previous meetings.

BET ELKS +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

While their two previous games against each other this season combined for 49 points, 4 of the Lions’ last 6 games have had 50 or more total points.

Five of the Elks’ last 6 games have had totals of 50 or more.

BET OVER 49.5 (-110).

Edmonton Elks at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Edmonton Elks at Saskatchewan Roughriders Week 15 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (3-10) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-6) meet Friday at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (CFL+/TSN+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Roughriders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

Edmonton has been red-hot lately, winning 3 of the past 4 games, while covering 3 of the past 5 outings. The Over has the edge by a 3-2 margin in the previous 5 outings overall.

The Elks got off to the worst start imaginable, dropping the first 9 games of the season, including a Week 1 setback at home to the Roughriders 17-13. Edmonton also lost at Saskatchewan 12-11 in Week 5. The teams have split against the spread (ATS), while the Under has cashed in both previous meetings.

The Roughriders posted a 32-30 overtime win at home against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Week 13, winning outright as a 7-point underdog. That apparently angered the Bombers, as Winnipeg spanked Saskatchewan 51-6 at home in Week 14. The Over has hit in 5 in a row for Saskatchewan, with the Riders coughing up at least 29 points in each of the previous 4 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Elks at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 26, Roughriders 22

Moneyline

EDMONTON (+135) is a completely different team than the one Saskatchewan (-160) topped twice in the 1st 5 weekends of the season.

The Elks have picked up wins in 3 of the past 4 games, and the Roughriders are coming off a 45-point blowout loss. So these teams are going in opposite directions, and Edmonton’s arrow is pointing up.

Against the spread

EDMONTON +3 (-110) isn’t as good of a value catching the 3 points, as plus-money is much more attractive straight up.

While the Elks have dropped both of the previous meetings against the Roughriders -3 (-110), the margin of victory for Saskatchewan is just 2.5 points per game (PPG).

FOOTBALL NEVER STOPS

Over/Under

OVER 46.5 (-115) is a decent play in this trilogy matchup.

The Roughriders have allowed 29 or more points in 4 straight games, while allowing 24 or more points in each of the past 6 outings, and 9 of the past 11 contests. The Over has hit in 5 in a row for Saskatchewan, too.

For the Elks, the Over has cashed in 2 of the past 3 games, while Edmonton’s offense has posted 24 or more points in 5 in a row, while allowing 20 or more points in 4 of the past 5 contests, too.

Stampeders at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 31, Stampeders 27

Moneyline

The Stampeders beat the Elks at home Monday and have beaten them in 6 straight meetings and in 9 of their last 10 matchups dating back to 2019.

However, the Stampeders have not won consecutive games all season.

BET ELKS (-135)

Against the spread

The Stampeders have covered the spread in 3 straight games.

The Elks are 3-1 ATS in the last 4 games.

The odds on the moneyline are not bad but here you get slightly better value with the spread if you agree Edmonton can get it done by at least a field goal.

Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Edmonton Elks at Calgary Stampeders Week 13 odds and lines, with expert CFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Edmonton Elks (2-9) and the Calgary Stampeders (3-8) meet Monday night at McMahon Stadium in Calgary (CBS Sports Network/TSN+) in the 1st game of a home-and-home series. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Stampeders odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

After opening the season with 9 consecutive losses, the Elks have come alive with 2 wins in the last 2 weekends. It stunned Hamilton on the road in Week 11, winning 24-10 as a 5.5-point underdog, and it topped Ottawa 30-20 as a 1-point favorite at home in Week 12. The offense is averaging 27.0 points per game (PPG) during the run, while the defense has yielded just 15.0 PPG.

The Stampeders are in a nosedive, dropping 3 straight games after upending Toronto at home in Week 9 by a 20-7 score as a 10-point underdog. The offense was decent last week in a loss to the Argonauts in Toronto, but Calgary fell 39-31. Still, it covered again, and Calgary is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the last 4 games after opening the season 2-5 ATS in the 1st 7.

Elks at Stampeders picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 26, Stampeders 23

Moneyline

The ELKS (+165) are playing with a lot of confidence right now, topping the Ti-Cats on the road and the RedBlacks at home last weekend.

Edmonton proved it can win on the road, and the Stampeders (-200) do not look like a team which has any business being favored by someone, let alone risking 2 times your potential return.

Against the spread

If you can’t bring yourself to take the ELKS +4 (-110) straight up, playing the visitors catching 4 points is a solid play over the skidding Stampeders -4 (-110).

Calgary has dropped the last 3 games, and it allowed 39 points last weekend in Toronto. The Stamps have coughed up 24 or more points in 8 of 11 games to date, too, so the Elks should keep the ball rolling in a positive direction.

Over/Under

OVER 46.5 (-110) is the lean in this one, based mostly upon the struggles of the Calgary defense. Edmonton has come alive on offense with 27.7 PPG in the last 3 outings, cashing the Over in 2 of those contests.

Edmonton has cashed the Over in 9 of the past 13 games following a straight-up win, too, while the Over is 3-0-1 in the past 4 for Calgary after a cover. In addition, the Over has hit in 6 of the past 7 meetings between these provincial rivals.

Redblacks at Elks picks and predictions

Prediction

Elks 26, Redblacks 24

Moneyline

The Elks appear to have gotten their offense on track, scoring 53 points over the last 2 games. They will need to keep it up against the Redblacks, who have scored 24 or more in 3 straight games despite losing all 3.

Ottawa has lost 4 in a row. Make it 5.

BET ELKS (-110).

Against the spread

The Elks’ only victory is by 14 points while Ottawa’s only cover in a loss was last week. It is slightly better odds but it wouldn’t hurt to also add a wager on the Elks to cover.

The Edmonton Elks (0-9) visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-5) Thursday to kick off Week 11 CFL action. Kickoff from Tim Hortons Field is at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Elks vs. Tiger-Cats odds, and make our expert CFL picks and predictions.

While the Elks remain winless, they have covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 games. That includes covering as 13-point underdogs in a 38-29 home loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last Thursday.

The Tiger-Cats enter off a 27-14 home loss to the Montreal Alouettes on Aug. 10, failing to cover as 3-point underdogs. Hamilton has lost 2 of its last 3 games. The Ti-Cats beat the Elks 37-29 on the road in Week 6 as 1-point underdogs as the Over (42.5) cashed.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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.

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.

The Elks have suffered a pair of shutout losses across their 8 defeats this season. Edmonton was blanked at home last time out against the BC Lions in Week 8, falling 27-0. Edmonton is just 2-6 ATS overall, too, while cashing the Under in 6 of 8 outings this season.

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.

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.

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).
