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.

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).
