Elks vs. Alouettes Prediction & Odds: CFL Week 10 Expert Picks for Saturday, Aug. 8
📡 SBR Edge: Elks Keep It Close
My Elks vs. Alouettes prediction includes Elks +3.5 (+100) and Under 60.5 (-110). Montreal's middle-of-the-pack rush defense will likely struggle to contain Justin Rankin, and the more Edmonton runs the ball, the slower the game's pace will be.

🏆 Who will win Elks vs. Alouettes?
I like the Alouettes to beat the Elks by one point Saturday, meaning there's value on the Elks' spread at +3.5. Montreal is the betting favorite in the Grey Cup odds, so it makes sense that it would be favored at home - I just think this is a bad spot for the Alouettes, which I'll break down with my best bet on the spread.
Score prediction: Alouettes 30, Elks 29
💰 Elks vs. Alouettes prediction & best bet
Elks +3.5 (+100)
The Alouettes have won five in a row, but the Elks - who are the only team that has beaten Montreal this season - are a bad matchup.
The Elks feature Rankin, who was the second favorite in the MOP odds before a couple of slow weeks. The Alouettes, meanwhile, allow 92.1 rushing yards per game, which is middle of the pack for the CFL. The last time they faced Rankin, they allowed him to run for 179 yards with two scores - they can't guard him.
Elks +3.5 (+100) at BetMGM is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.

🔥 More Elks vs. Alouettes picks
Under 60.5 (-110)
The Elks are 5-2-1 to the Under this season, and leaning on the run game against Montreal Saturday should help keep this game low-scoring as well.
Rankin had his best game of the season the last time he faced the Alouettes, which helped Edmonton pull off the upset as a 2.5-point home underdog. Rankin only had eight carries last week against the Roughriders, but his carries will likely increase Saturday, as relying on Cody Fajardo's arm led to a loss in Week 9.
Under 60.5 (-110) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
