Edmonton Elks vs BC Lions Prediction
The BC Lions have been the better team this season, but they have had issues defensively, and they’re coming off a shutout loss to the Blue Bombers. Also, this will be the third straight road game for BC, which can’t be fun. The Edmonton Elks finally won a game and while it’s just one win, putting Tre Ford at quarterback adds playmaking ability and life to the team overall. The dual threat ability is hard to defend, and there seems to be real potential there. Bettors are clearly buying into the hype as well, but I’ll still side with the Elks and the small chalk.
