Elks vs. Blue Bombers BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Elks. I’m not sure why Edmonton went back to Tre Ford last week, after Bethel-Thompson had been playing well, but the Elks will give the start to the veteran this week. Edmonton desperately needs a victory if they want a chance at the playoffs. It’s tough to defeat a team twice in a row, I’ll take my chances with the Elks and the points.
Elks vs. Blue Bombers Prediction: Elks +4.5
