Elks vs. Roughriders BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Under. Edmonton will making a change at quarterback which could possibly give them a boost, but Saskatchewan is very sound defensively. The Roughriders continue to play conservative on the offensive side of the ball, with backup quarterback Shea Patterson. The Elk’s defense has been very poor, but I still don’t’ see the Roughriders breaking out offensively. This total is too high.
Elks vs. Roughriders Prediction: Under 51
