Ottawa Redblacks vs Edmonton Elks Prediction
The Edmonton Elks still have yet to win a game this season, and they’ve lost 9 straight games overall. The Elks are 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games, and they’re horrible defensively this season. The Ottawa Redblacks just beat the Elks 5 days ago on the road and should feel more comfortable at home, where they’re undefeated through two games. The Redblacks have failed to cover 8 of their last 9 games as a home favorite, but they’re the better team, and we’re not being asked to lay much. Give me the Redblacks and the 1.5 point chalk.
