🏆 Who will win Redblacks vs. Elks?
I like the Elks to beat the Redblacks by eight points today. Not only are the Redblacks 0-4 on the season, but the Elks have wins over the Alouettes, who are the Grey Cup favorites, and the Blue Bombers. The Redblacks allow the third-most rushing yards per game (116.2) in the CFL and now have to face Justin Rankin, who leads the CFL with 406 rushing yards.
Score prediction: Elks 31, Redblacks 23
💰 Redblacks vs. Elks prediction & best bet
Elks -6.5 (-105)
Edmonton has become a surprise contender this season. It opened with the longest Grey Cup odds and now is the fourth favorite.
Coming off its first loss of the season, I expect Edmonton to come out fully focused. It helps that the Elks already beat the Redblacks by eight points in Ottawa June 6.
Elks -5.5 (-125) is the best line available among the top sports betting sites. However, I'll use -6.5 (-105) for my personal tracking, as it's a widely available line, and it would be misleading to track a bet at a sportsbook that most readers can't access.
🔥 More Redblacks vs. Elks picks
Under 58.5 (-110)
The Redblacks' offense is arguably the worst in the CFL. Ottawa has scored 25 or fewer points in three of its four games and is averaging just 25.5 points per game on the season - the second-lowest mark in the league.
While the Redblacks' defense will likely struggle to contain Rankin, the Elks leaning on their second-ranked run game (117 rushing yards per game) should slow down the pace in this matchup, helping the Under hit.
Under 58.5 (-110) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
