Elks vs Redblacks Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, as they’ve been awful through a handful of games. With that said, if the Elks are going to win a game any time soon, it would be at home against the Redblacks. The Redblacks have had issues finishing drives, and the defense gets put in tough situations and is on the field too long. The Elks have a playmaking quarterback and if the defense shows any sort of life, things could change. The Elks have allowed 30 or more points in five straight games. Still, this is a toss up between two bad teams. I’ll take a shot with the home dog.
