Edmonton Elks Betting Trends

• The Elks are 8-1 SU in their last nine games.
• They are 5-0 SU in their last five home games.
• They are 4-3 ATS in their last seven games.
• Edmonton is 5-4 ATS in its last nine games.

The Elks are rested and ready, and they finished the season with the best rushing offense, led by Justin Rankin and mobile quarterback Cody Fajardo. It's interesting that Edmonton led the league in rushing and ranked second in run defense, while BC ranked second in rushing yards per game but led the league in run defense.

Lions vs. Elks Prediction: Lions Moneyline (-105) 

When these teams met this season, they each won at home, but I am still going with BC in this game. Rourke has never lost to Edmonton in his career, and he ended the season on fire, passing for 366 yards with three TDs and no picks in the last playoff game. Both teams will look to run, but the pass game will be more key, which is why I like the Lions. I see a close game here, but BC will come out on top, not only cover the short spread, but win as well, so take the moneyline for better odds.

More Lions vs. Elks Picks, Props and Best Bets

• BC Lions win by 1-6 points (+370, Sports Interaction) – I expect a close scoring game that the Lions win, so +370 on a 1-6-point win is solid value.
• Under 28.5 points in the first half (-105, Sports Interaction) – When these teams met in Edmonton in the regular season, it was a low-scoring affair, with the first-half total at 23, and I expect that to happen again.
• BC Lions to cover the +0.5 first-half spread (-120, Sports Interaction) – I think the Lions will get off to a good start and cover the short first-half spread.
