Elks vs. Redblacks BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Over. These two teams did not show much resistance last week on the defensive end scoring a combined 71 points. Both quaterbacks were moving the ball up and down the field and I believe we see a similar type of contest this week. I highly doubt we see a combined 71 points again, but I do believe they still do enough to go over the total of 53.
Elks vs. Redblacks Prediction: Over 53
