Edmonton Elks Betting Preview

The Edmonton Elks look for a third straight victory to rebound from a 2-7 record. The Edmonton Elks have lost 11 of their last 13 Games overall. Tre Ford is completing 77.8 percent of his passes for 473 yards, 5 touchdowns and 1 interception. Dillon Mitchell and Kurleigh Gittens Jr. have combined for 888 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, while Eugene Lewis has 31 receptions. The Edmonton Elks ground Game is averaging 105 yards per contest, and Javon Leake leads the way with 386 yards and 4 touchdowns. Defensively, Edmonton is allowing 29.2 points and 396.1 yards per Game. Nyles Morgan leads the Edmonton Elks with 64 tackles, Noah Curtis has 5 sacks and Kai Gray has 2 interceptions.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Betting Preview

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats need a feel good win to rebound from a rough 2-7 record. The Tiger-Cats are 1-3 SU at home this season. Bo Levi Mitchell is completing 68.2 percent of his passes for 2,522 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Shemar Bridges and Steven DuNBAr Jr. have combined for 1,003 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, while Tim White has 37 receptions. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats ground Game is averaging 72.1 yards per contest, and James Butler leads the way with 440 yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively, Hamilton is allowing 31.9 points and 381.6 yards per Game. Kyle Wilson leads the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with 55 tackles, Casey Sayles has 4 sacks and Jamal Peters has 2 interceptions.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs Edmonton Elks Prediction

The Edmonton Elks have played their best ball of the season these last two weeks, and despite their record, they’ve had countless close losses. The Elks are better than their record, and they’re finally learning how to win. With that said, this is a Game between teams with a combined record of 4-14, and I’m not eager to lay points with either side. Also, Tre Ford is out for Edmonton, which means McLeod Bethel-Thompson gets the start. Bethel-Thompson lost his starting quarterback job and has 8 interceptions this season to go with 10 touchdowns. While he led Edmonton to a win last week after Ford got hurt, he lost the starting job for a reason. I’m leaning toward the Tiger-Cats and the free points.
