The Lions are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings in Edmonton and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

I considered the points with the Edmonton Elks because they’ve turned their season around out of nowhere. However, BC has been far and away the more consistent team and has beaten Edmonton twice by a combined score of 49-0. That’s right, the Elks haven’t scored a single point in two games against the Lions. The Edmonton Elks still have issues finishing drives offensively, and the defense can’t stop the run. I’ll lay the touchdown with the BC Lions on the road.
