Elks vs Alouettes Prediction
There’s value to getting a home dog that’s had an extra week to prepare, and the underdog has covered four of the five games between the Alouettes and Elks. However, we’ve seen the Elks stink up the joint the last few years to start the season. This is an annual thing for the Elks. Last year alone, the Elks didn’t win a game until week 9 and were getting taken behind the woodshed in a lot of those losses. Again, the Elks haven’t won a game before week 3 since 2021.
The Alouettes have looked flawless through two games and are the current betting favorite to win the Grey Cup at many books. I’d need more than a touchdown to give the Elks a look. I’ll side with the Alouettes just under the full score.
