Edmonton Elks Game Notes
The Elks improved to 2-7 on the year after a 17-point victory against the Lions on August 11th. Javon Leake continued his strong play, rushing 97 yards on 21 attempts and scoring a touchdown. Edmonton looks for their third consecutive victory on Saturday night.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats Game Notes
The Tiger-Cats dropped to 2-7 on the season after losing to the Alouettes by 10 points last Saturday. Taylor Powell played well, after Bo-Levi Mitchell was benched in the first quarter. Powell threw for 319 yards on 30/38 attempts and two touchdowns. Hamilton looks to snap a two-game skid on Saturday.
Elks vs. Tiger-Cats BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Elks. These two teams have gone in opposite directions since they met on July 28 when Hamilton defeated the Elks by 16 points. Edmonton has won consecutive games, while Hamilton has dropped two since then. The Elks defense looks much better and they have been finding a lot of success on the ground. I like Edmonton to win their third straight on Saturday night.
Elks vs. Tiger-Cats Prediction: Elks -1
